Great soundtrack! ^_^

Anyone see the 2013 Hyundai Tournament of Champions at Kapalua? The wind there was up to 50mph for 2 or 3 days.

let me put it this way, tigers longest drive was 425 yards on flat (ish) ground. it was with a tail wind of about 40 mph. By the logic presented in this video tiger would have in fact drove it 405 yards without the wind... now when have you ever heard of tiger hitting it 400+ yards without wind?... obviously i understand that there are variables to consider but equally i understand that computer simulations dont include some variables.

Something I believe they forgot to account for was the roll of the ball - and all they're talking about in this video is pretty much the hang time.

They probably did the math with a set friction multiplier rather than calculate the friction for every wind situation individually. Wind resistance is a exponential curve after all. That could explain the wonky results.

Sorry I forgot that your irish vision allows you to determine that your ball actually flew 50 yards farther instead of 20 consistently in the exact tailwind of 40 mph that you were measuring as well. My apologies.

The wind could be like this anywhere

that shit was hilarious

I live in Ireland, I play links golf all the time, hence I experience these conditions regularly. I value personal experience more than some shitty computer simulation.... maybe you shouldn't comment next time.

runner up must have finished with par

a tailwind of 40mph will give you waaayyy more than 20 more yards... more like 50

Because your scientific backed opinion of "more like 50" is completely accurate. Don't even comment next time.

20 extra yards my ass, more like 50+

well where have you ever seen perfectly flat ground, and it was 38mph to be exact (hence "about 40 mph" ,I i saw the shot live and it had no more roll that an average drive..... lastly when did I ever claim credibility, it's the youtube comments for christs sake... if you expect credibility here you are quite frankly a bit delusional.

So now its "flat (ish) ground." and "about 40".. you do know that its 425 after the roll. You are trying to state facts based purely on speculation. That my friend.. holds no credability.

golf is a game not a sport
