Featured article: Where is Pi in Golf?

Animation of the act of unrolling a circle's circumference, illustrating the ratio π.

Pi (π), the mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159, plays a subtle yet significant role in golf. It is integral to the physics of a golf ball’s flight, influencing trajectory, spin, and lift through equations that account for the ball’s spherical shape. In course design, π is used to calculate the areas and perimeters of circular and elliptical greens and bunkers. Statistical analysis of golf performance often involves probability distributions that utilize π, aiding in performance predictions and strategy development. Additionally, π is crucial in the design and manufacturing of golf equipment, from the geometry of clubfaces to the precise engineering of golf balls. While not always obvious, π is deeply embedded in the science and mathematics that underpin the game of golf.
