Xeric isnot a popular word in golf

http://www.willowcreek2hoa.com/view/xeric-project.aspx

but insert LOW WATER and urine...well hypothetically...as low water is in the thinking about pre planning stages that is to say golf is holding out for the next deluge.

But those "radio controlled bullets" simply disintegrate when they
reach the designated distance.... probably not what one wants in a
golf game :-)


Yep. With a real golf ball, the ballistics solution is a three
dimensional problem, where the altitude, azimuth, and range are all
controlled by the golfer.


Obviously you haven't played much golf :-) the proper form of the
above statement would include the phrase "in theory" just before the
"are all" portion :-)

However, with a radio controlled bullet,
only the distance is controlled. Unless the military device can stop
the projectile directly over the golf hole, it's useless for golfing.



Also, disintegrating golf balls have already been invented and are
commonly available:

If golfers spend good money on such rubbish, surely they would be
interested in GPS guided golf balls, golf club accuracy enhancements,
mm wave (radar?) ballistic profilers, and terrain insensitive gyro
stabilized balls.

True. I've played exactly one 18 hole game which produced a state of
distraction eventually terminating in boredom. Further exposure
seemed unnecessary to verify my opinion. A 2nd game would have been
too much.

True. There are other influences on golf ball ballistics:

Boring, perhaps. But it appears that in the 1400's someone observed
that a roughened golf ball went further. In 1672, Newton recognized
that transverse forces existed when spinning tennis balls flew through
the air, Magnus explained these forces in the 1740s and in 1890,
Professor Guthrie Tait of Edinburgh University was the first to
publish an understanding of the aerodynamic principles of a golf ball.

Should have kept that in mind when they developed the Jabulani soccer ball.
