Question

Golf is a game played in an open field where the golfer plays his golf ball into a hole by using different types of clubs (golf instruments). In golf, a golfer plays a number of holes in a given order. 18 holes played in an order controlled by the golf course design, normally make up a game. On your approach shot to the ninth green, the Global Positioning System (GPS) your cart is equipped with tells you the pin is 180 meter away. The distance plate states the straight line distance to the hole is 90 meter. Relative to a straight line between the plate and the hole, at what acute angle should you hit the shot?​

The distance plate states the straight line distance to the hole is 90 meter. Relative to a straight line between the plate and the hole, at what acute angle should you hit the shot?

45 angles

Answer 2

The answer is 60°.

Given:

GPS distance from the pin = 180 m

Straight line distance to the hole = 90 m

To find:

The angle at which the shot should be taken

Solution:

Therefore, the shot should be taken such that it reaches the hole.

As we have to find the angle between the GPS distance and the straight line distance,

$\theta = \cos^{-1} \frac{90}{180}$

$\theta = 60$

Hence the shot should be hit at 60°.
