Question
hey i have a question based on golf want to ask the following questions    To produce models of the ball flights
   To produce models for the put on greens.
can you give me some examples for these places it will be very helpful get back to me as soon as possible

Answer
Hi Najib,

Models of the ball flights have been produced to:
1. Experiment with different golf ball designs.
2. Determine optimum launch angles.
3. Determine effects of altitude, temperature, wind, uphill, downhill shots on range.
4. Predict and verify errant golf ball "zones of danger" for properties.

Likewise, models for putts on greens have been developed for determining the amount of break given the slope of the green and determine the effect of going uphill or downhill.

I've designed both models and used them in my research and in my consultation practice.

Ken Tannar
