The Physics of the Swing
Where STEM meets the tee box. Learn the science behind club speed, ball flight, spin, and yardage.
Where STEM meets the tee box. Learn the science behind club speed, ball flight, spin, and yardage.
Why does a dimpled ball fly farther than a smooth one? How does a 1 mph increase in club speed translate to yards? This course connects classroom STEM to the game you love. Great for student-athletes, science-curious players, and anyone who wants to understand WHY golf works.
Basic algebra (you'll do some simple math)
Access to a launch monitor or simulator is a plus, but not required
Explain Newton's laws of motion in the context of a golf swing
Calculate carry distance from club speed and launch angle
Understand how spin rate affects ball flight and roll
Use simple geometry to read greens and slopes
Build a personal yardage chart based on real measurements
