Default How far could a golf ball be propelled at STP?

And I wondered, why not a mile? A lot would depend on what kind of
propulsion you used, but I'm guessing the muzzle velocity would be
supersonic.


Neglecting all aerodynamic effects, I calculate that the minimum initial velocity would need to be
approximately 580 feet per second.
