The aim of this work is to analyze the landing effect of a golf ball based on physics. The effect of the launch speed, impact angle, backspin, and green firmness on the run for a variety of golf shots is considered. We analyze green dynamics using stimpmeter and Werner and. Greig's empirical equations. Reasonable empirical equations are suggested to satisfy mechanical principles. The resistance moment is also calculated to find rolling resistance of a golf ball on the green. Then, the rolling friction coefficient is deduced using previous results. Finally, the criteria for the various run conditions such as the backward bounce and the forward bounces before backward roll are discussed in detail based on the analysis.
