Can any math geeks out there figure out some formula to show the maximum curve a disc could possibly take, based on two factors:
1) Distance (obviously), and,
2) Ceiling height??
I've played a few holes lately where the fairway curves sooo much I don't think it is possible to get all the way around, leaving an annoying 80-100 foot, blind, curving putt. Not really a legit par 4, just a par 3 that is impossible to reach because you can't curve a disc 250' around 3/4 of a circle, with a 15' ceiling.
I figure it might be a nice tool to help course designers...
