A computational approach for predicting plant canopy induced wind effects on the trajectory of golf shots
(Ein rechnerischer Ansatz zur Vorhersage von durch die Baumkronen induzierten Windeffekten auf die Flugbahn von Golfschlägen)
Large-eddy simulation of atmospheric flow is combined with golf ball trajectory modeling that incorporates local plant canopy information to predict the trajectory of a golf shot at any hole on a golf course in a variety of wind conditions. The model is applied to examine golf shots on hole 12 of the Augusta National Golf Club, which is particularly well known for its wind-induced difficulty. The results indicate that the tree canopies around this hole play a significant role in golf ball trajectories and also induce a strong directional sensitivity on the landing spot of the ball for this hole.
