Newton on the Tee by John Zumerchik

A scientific breakdown of the mysteries of golf. John Zumerchik has taken the time to ponder, explore and explain to us the endless details that make golf such a maddening, fascinating, tantalizing pursuit. He breaks down the subject as follows: 1. How Tough is This Game? 2. The Physics of the Sweet Swing; 3. The influence of Mind Over Muscle; 4. Getting the Ball from Here to There using spin, lift, gravity and launch angles; 5. Deciding which Equipment; 6. How to keep playing well as your body Ages and understand Injuries; 7. The role of Probability and Statistics With a firm grasp of both his subject and his seven-iron, Zumerchik takes the reader through all these topics and more, in an entertaining and enlightening work that crosses the questing appeal of Golf in the Kingdom with the coherence and clarity of popular science works from Cosmos to Chaos.

John Zumerchik was an editor for the Macmillan Encyclopedia of Sports Science (1997), a two-volume reference work covering the physiology and physics of sports as well as the physics of sports injuries. (Though listed as editor, he authored or rewrote over half the entries.) He is also serving the dual role of author/editor for the three-volume Macmillan Encyclopedia of Energy.
