Golf Expert Consulting

Legal/Litigation

If you are legal counsel looking for expert advice on any errant golf ball issue, Mr. Tannar has a wealth of experience having advised in litigations in the US, Canada, and Australia: golf courses, driving ranges, residential disputes.

Using an accurate computer golf ball trajectory model, predictions of golf ball speed, height and angle of trajectory can be determined for any location. Using this model, along with probability analysis, containment percentages can be calculated for different height nets. The probability of a region being affected can be calculated.

Driving Ranges

If you are looking to build a Driving Range or modify an existing one, we can provide you with the analysis you're looking for to determine net height and placement to prevent balls from leaving the property.

Mr. Tannar can advise you on the use of tee bay reflectors which will reduce the height requirement of your nets.

In his analysis, Mr. Tannar uses a 3 Dimensional Analysis of your site to determine the required net heights. The trajectories are merged onto the Google Earth platform. Minimum net heights depend on the following:

Dimensions of Driving Range

Topography of Land (sloping uphill or downhill)

Prevailing Wind and Temperatures

Type of Range Ball used (standard or limited flight)

Use of tee bay reflectors

All club shots from sand wedge to Driver can be simulated, so it becomes clear how high nets need to be to contain all shots.

Residential

If you are wanting to protect your property from errant golf balls, we can provide you with the analysis you're looking for to determine net height and placement to prevent balls from entering your property. We can also work with the golf course to make modifications to hole design to reduce the impact of errant golf balls on your property.
