I mostly play with my wife now. The other day i got to play for the first time with the pro (he sucks) at Ratty Pond. What on earth is the "proper" name for dimples on the golf ball? Everytime i asked him how many dimples is best or how they make the dimples or why are there dimples - just to save money on materials? That ringer dinger whould just roll his eyes and look away like he just hated looking at me cause i dont know all the golf terms. Is their a book or person that has every golf term that u need to know to make it in the higher social circles? I really dont want to have to throttle this guy, but if that is what he wants id be more than happy to beat him into bolivia

With the velocity vector expanded as \mathbf{v} = (u,v,w) , we may write the vector equation explicitly,

\begin{align}
  \rho \left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + v \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} + w \frac{\partial u}{\partial z}\right)
    &= -\frac{\partial p}{\partial x} + \mu \left(\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2} + \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial z^2}\right) + \rho g_x \\
  \rho \left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial t} + u \frac{\partial v}{\partial x} + v \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}+ w \frac{\partial v}{\partial z}\right)
    &= -\frac{\partial p}{\partial y} + \mu \left(\frac{\partial^2 v}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial^2 v}{\partial y^2} + \frac{\partial^2 v}{\partial z^2}\right) + \rho g_y \\
  \rho \left(\frac{\partial w}{\partial t} + u \frac{\partial w}{\partial x} + v \frac{\partial w}{\partial y}+ w \frac{\partial w}{\partial z}\right)
    &= -\frac{\partial p}{\partial z} + \mu \left(\frac{\partial^2 w}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial^2 w}{\partial y^2} + \frac{\partial^2 w}{\partial z^2}\right) + \rho g_z.
\end{align}

I thought dimples were those indentations on your cheeks?

No, not that cheek.  The other one.

Well, it wasn't up to his usual standards. There were hints of maybe some funny to come, but overall, I would have to say that this post only gets two "Green toboggan hats" from this reviewer.

I see your particular implementation of the Magnus effect is a little bit outdated, I'm sure you can make the appropriate adjustments. . . ;-)

I have not even looked at these equations, this is just a joke. :smartass:

Ratty Pond is a cow pasture. Why don't you join the upscale club "Weasel Ledges", it's only few hundred quid more.

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
