The NGF is frequently asked how far to install a fence, protective barrier or target green ball ti a e ~ golf course. While there are no prease rules for this, the foll golf W .14 -9 jectory tests may be of help. Please r that the dis -n r em OF - u co recase 11 ntrp-q were con to a rmance sn ss no ac- ng r ro r ou own. Also. be aware that a low- lying, skulled ball might go farther, and a high slice or a pulled hook will have a totall y different trajectory - either into the wind or with a following wind. Note that once a ball has reached the apogee of its flight, it descends rapidly. With these cautions, here are the circumstances of the tests and the results. The tests were conducted in 1989 at the Wilson Sporting Good's test site in Palm Beach Florida. The balls were soaked in temperature-controlled saline solutions to establish the temperature of bulls being hit. The atmospheric temperature of 75 degrees bad no bearing il1 on the performance. The driver was a 43-inch metal headed club with 11 degrees loft The shaft was stiff . lightweight steel with an overall weight of 12 3/4 ounces. Some other facts to keep in mind: o Three-piece balata and Su lyn balls had similar flight characteristics. pece Surlyn-covered balls had the least variance at different temperatures. (fo two The :hirft-piece Surlyn-covered ball had the highest initial velocity. o The spin rate of the softer balata ball is the highest of the three. on o Extreme cold affects the distance more than extreme heat on all balls. ' A complete write-up of the tests conducted by Tam Hardman from Wilson and his crew can be found in the 1989 December issue of Golf Digest entitled How Much Does Tempera. toreAffect GolfBa14 from which this Executive Summary was extracted. pg. 1 of 4 1150 SOUTH U.& HIGHWAY ONE, JUPMER, FLORIDA 33477 t407)744-600v" FAX (407)744.6107 I.\I.IrI Driven--Tour Pro.
