Cicero733: So yes, I agree with you also on the need for mapping. But when starting out and having no idea how hard to hit a 64° wedge to produce a distance of 51 yds, I think the basic formula can fit the bill. I think once that concept is understood a new player will instinctively understand the benefit of the wedges and will begin to develop his/her own mapping technique.
I agree, it's a good starting point. Hit, observe, adjust the numbers, and repeat.
Cicero733: I also have angular offset mappings for full and 3/4% full beer cans when placed in the cart beverage holder when the cart is parked on less than level surfaces (this one is not complete as there are subtle differences between the resulting angles in the driver’s side versus the passenger side; still needs some work and is proprietary).
Always good to have handy 🍺 By "less than level surfaces", I assume you are referring to Uneven Lies. If you like, I can share my beer can mappings with you for flat surfaces (Even Lies), for both 12 oz. and 16 oz. cans. I have not found any significant difference between a can in the cart beverage holder and a can on the roof of the cart, but the numbers are slightly different between U.S. domestic and imported beers. I am assuming this is due to the ABV difference, but this requires more research. MUCH more research.
