Abstract/Contents: | "With new technology such as golf ball tracking systems, it is now possible to scientifically evaluate the golf swing and the parameters associated with hitting a quality golf shot. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of golf ball lie on subsequent shot quality. Two golfers (USGA handicaps 0 and 8) hit golf balls using a seven iron from plots of tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and creeping bentgrass at mowing heights ranging from 0.5 to 4 inches. Balls were dropped from shoulder height to simulate taking a drop, and ball lie was measured before the golf ball was hit. Shot parameters such as carry distance, accuracy, spin rate, and shot height were measured using a golf ball tracking system. From the data, carry distance, backspin, accuracy, and shot height improved as ball lie improved. However, even though the relationship of ball lie and the shot parameters was significant, ball lie is not the only factor that determines the quality of the golf shot." |
