I use some basic math to factor distance on shots, and they are generally consistent and fairly accurate. Except when there is a substantial elevation change. There seems to be no consistency at all, and I have to blindly guess, or memorize distances for the various holes. Anybody know how to make elevation changes, esp. +/- 30, more applicably consistent?
Most figure a yard distance for 3 feet elevation, but I see you have Raptures...so on uphill shots due to lower trajectory and less spin..say than R11's, you'll need to land shorter and let the ball run towards the hole some.
More than that - the club & ball combo characterises the outcome. No one-for-all receipe available.
Memorize each hole as you say or better still write them down. It's hard to give figures as each club and ball vary.
Thanks. That makes sense, and intuitively I can adjust, say Bethpage #2. But Olympic #3 is a drop of 58, and my shots are all over the place, flying the green once, then 30 yards short the next. I understand the impact of a 100 different factors, but I just can't seem to figure a distance in cases like that.
These extreme drops are difficult to handle.
I'm used to take off 30 yds, add wind, and usually leave the ball short. Should consider -25 yds.
Downhill, the bs is very important, shortening the ball flight. Apply carefully!
