When a ball stops on the rim of the cup, golfers and TV announcers often say that it needed “one more roll” or “one more rotation.” But they’re wrong, and Pi Day—which celebrates the discovery of the mathematical ratio between a circle’s diameter and its circumference, and is celebrated for obvious reasons today, on 3/14—is the ideal time to explain why. A golf ball, to be legal, has to be at least 1.68 inches in diameter. That means that its circumference—the length of “one more roll”—is at least 3.14 times 1.68, or 5.28 inches. And that length is eerily similar to one that was in the news earlier this month. Coincidence?
Have to say that without one more roll the ball will never drop in the hole, it will sit on the edge forever.
Ten percent of one more roll would do it for the ball in the picture. Why waste energy?
Like your thinking David, but how do you just put ten percent more energy into the ball.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.

I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article. https://www.binance.com/register?ref=IHJUI7TF
