Re: Vail Golf Club Driving Range Golf Ball Trajectory Study
Tanner Consulting Group was contacted by Mr. Todd, the golf course superintendent of
Vail Golf Course, to create a Golf Ball Trajectory Study and recommended
improvements for the driving range in an attempt to contain golf balls that have been
exiting the driving range field property. Particular attention was to be paid to the right
side of the driving range. In addition, I was instructed to minimize the visual impacts to
the surrounding neighbor's homes wherever possible.
In early January 2012, I spoke with Mr. Todd. During this conversation, we spent time
discussing the driving range and outlying areas in order to determine the scope of work I
would need to perform. Afterwards, I spoke with other staff to discuss the project. Mr.
Todd and the staff provided data and information that was essential for the creation of
my golf ball trajectory study and recommended improvement plans.
The following is my basis for analysis and conclusions:
Procedure for Computing the TraiectorV of a Golf Ball
The procedure for calculating the trajectory of a golf ball in air is described.
Trajectory of a Projectile with Air Resistance
A golf ball flying through the air is acted upon by only two forces, namely the
aerodynamic force and gravity. Because the ball is spherical and probably has little spin,
the aerodynamic force is nearly all drag and acts opposite to the direction of velocity. We
can write the equation of motion as:
drag + gravity = mass x acceleration
This is a vector equation and each vector has a horizontal and a vertical component.
Because the drag is a non-linear function of velocity, we will not be able to find an
analytic solution and a numerical solution will be necessary. Hence, we have two second
order non-linear differential equations. If you want to be a skilled consultant, you need to
1
be able to solve equations of this sort with ease, because most of the real problems of
the consulting world do not yield to simple linear analysis.
The usual technique is to replace the two second order differential equations with four
first order equations. The four variables are the x and Y components of position and the
x and y components of velocity. Call them x, y, vx and vy. The four equations are
dx/dt = vx
dy/dt = vy
d(vx)/dt = (1/mass) x (dragX + gravityX)
d(vy)/dt = (1/mass) x (dragY + gravityY)
and, of course, gravityX is zero.
Aerodynamic Drag of a Sphere
Everything is quite simple except for the calculation of the drag force. The traditional way
to express the drag of an object such as a sphere is through a drag coefficient defined
as the drag force divided by the product of the frontal area and the dynamic pressure.
The dynamic pressure is defined as one-half the density times the square of the velocity.
This gives a model of the varying atmospheric force on the sphere as the velocity and
altitude change.
The drag coefficient of a sphere traveling at speeds typical of golf ball is about 0.5 but I
have used a procedure taken from Chow, An Introduction to Computational Fluid
Mechanics this allows us to use this program to study other spheres such as BBs or
ping-pong balls or cannon balls or even a 20-ton Soyuz entry capsule and observe their
behavior as they fly through the atmosphere.
To use this routine, one needs to know the Reynolds number of the flow which requires
the density of the air as well as the viscosity of air. You can see the routines in the
program that compute these quantities and eventually return the drag coefficient to the
procedure that computes the acceleration. You have to know velocity, elevation, air
density, drag coefficient, gravity and it all comes together in the calculation of
acceleration.
Solution of the Differential Equations
Each of the four variables is a function of time. To perform the numerical integration, we
take time steps of finite size and advance the solution. The best way to do this is to use
a variable step-size differential equation solver that computes the step size as it
develops the solution. However, for this simple problem, we felt it would be confusing to
introduce variable step size. So the calculations are done with a simple fixed step size
algorithm. Long fly balls stay in the air about five or six seconds, so a step size of 0.1
seconds gives something like 50 or 60 finite steps for the numerical equation solver. The
most straightforward way to proceed is to use a fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm.
2
Correction of the final point
At each step along the trajectory, we check to see that the altitude is greater than the
initial altitude. Eventually, of course, we will arrive at a point where this is no longer true.
This is our clue to terminate the calculation. The fixed step size in time will most likely
step over the point where the altitude is exactly equal to the initial altitude and give a
point with negative altitude as the final point. To make the solution look good, it is best to
do an interpolation in the final interval and land right on zero altitude.
Assumption of Zero Spin
The analysis above assumes that there is negligible spin on the ball and the total
aerodynamic force is exactly opposite in direction to the velocity. This is not the case for
a faded or drawn ball. The craft of a fade or draw is largely a study in putting the proper
amount of spin on the ball. Calculating the path of a hit ball is more complex. Actually, a
golf ball can have quite a bit of spin but this is always associated with a glancing hit and
the initial velocity will be low. The only way to get a long ball is to hit it squarely.
Conclusion of Study
We have completed a statistical study of golf ball trajectories to determine the maximum
height and distance that the golf ball travels under the parameters indicated on the
accompanying plans in an attempt to create a ball containment netting system. (SEE
SHEETS N-1, N-2, N-3, N-4, N-5, N-6). N-1 Site Plan, N-2 Golf Ball Trajectory Study, N-
3 Plan view of netting recommendations, N-4 and N-5 are Isometric views of netting
plans and N-6 is Construction Details.
We found that the golf ball could easily escape the driving range property over the
current netting and fencing system. The areas of concern were along the right range
boundary line, around the clubhouse and the 18th green. The area beyond the left fence
and back of the driving range was not of concern.
AREA #1 THE CURRENT TEE
The existing tee area of the current tee is approximately 33,000 square feet. 135' deep
and 225' wide. The left and right sides of the tee run parallel with the range boundary.
The surface area is slightly crowned but leans from the front to the back of the tee.
AREA #2 THE RANGE AREA
From the back of the tee to the very end of the range is nearly 300 yards in length. When
you move to the front of the tee, the range is shortened to 250 yards in length.
3
AREA #3 HOLE 18 AND PROPOSED AREA OF IMPROVEMENT
There are a number of proposed improvements that are being considered around and
including the existing clubhouse and the 18th green. As is indicated on ball trajectory
study, the current netting is not capable of containing all of the golf balls from the current
driving range and by the current range fencing.
Based on our findings there are a few recommendations we can make that will help
contain nearly all the golf balls on the driving range area.
SOLLUTIONS
Area #1: The driving range tee. We would recommend that the golf tee be redesigned to
be contoured around a radius point 180 yards from the center of the driving range. The
tee should be re-graded to slope forward a minimum of 2% from back to front. A matted
tee area should be constructed at the back edge of the turf in the same manor.
Improvements would have to include drainage, irrigation, sand and grassing. The
estimated cost for this would be: $61,000.
Area #2: The driving range area. The size of the facility is probably adequate for the
clubs needs. The only thing that can possibly assist with golf ball containment would be
to enhance the target greens and promote golfers aiming to the center of the range but
having the ability to use the vast majority of golf clubs in their bag. The estimated cost
for this would be: $20,000.
In addition, we would highly recommend that the golf course range use a limited flight
golf ball. We have seen a quite a swing in this direction. Today golf ball manufacturers
are making golf balls that reduce the height and distance a golf ball travels while still
giving the golfer the great feel of a standard golf ball. Some of these new range balls
actually last four times the time of a standard range ball. The estimated cost for this
would be: $17,000. Although the flight of the golf ball will be restricted, the golf ball itself
will still fly over the existing netting. By changing the golf ball you will reduce the height
and length of the netting needed to contain the golf balls within the range are.
Area #3: The areas for proposed improvements next to the driving range can really only
be made safe by adding additional netting to the driving range facility. The proposed
netting baffle system with the Srixon golf ball accomplishes this task very well while
minimizing the visual impact. Because the nets are arranged in baffles, the poles are
less obtrusive to the eye in all directions. The poles can also be stepped down in
diameter to help minimize the visual impact. The estimated cost for this would be:
393,000 with the Srixon ball. The estimated cost would be $452,000 with a standard
range ball.

Rosetta Stone Wall Proposal
This is the #3 hole lightning shelter
Rosetta Stone Wall. Based on
feedback we received on the #7 hole
retaining wall we added stone on the
top avoid it being flat and level. The
goal was to create a more natural look.
We propose doing the same on the #18
wall
This is the same wall one year later
after the vegetation has grown in.
Please note that the wall tapers up and
undulates across the top and then
tapers back down. We propose that
the #18 wall be installed using a
similar technique.
This is a close up of the rock wall,
please note that the front of the
wall is not an even surface, there are
rocks that protrude forward and
others that are set back. The wall
system was created to mimic the
existing rock formations in Vail by
