How many golf balls can fit in a 5 gallon bucket?
A single golf ball will take up just barely under 3square inches. However, the number of golf balls that will fit in a suitcase will vary greatly depending on the size of the suitcase. A good estimate would be to see how many square inches of volume a suitcase has and divide it by 3 since that is how much space a single golf ball takes up.
FERMI PROBLEM. CALCULATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
In a suitcase with 8 inches in height, 20 inches in width and 28 inches in length and golf balls in 1.7 inchs in diameter THIS IS THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM.
Remember it is a 3D problem (3 dimensions)
find volume 4/3pi r cubed = 2.57 in cubed
28*8*20= 4480
4480/2.57 = 1743

What is the Distance of a 7 hybrid golf club?
If this question is in reference to a hybrid golf club that is a hybrid of a 1 iron, then the answer is as follows. There is not a "general" distance any golf club should hit a ball.. The length of a golf shot is not only determined by the club, but by many other factors, such as swing path, the golf ball itself, wind speed and other weather conditions and most importantly club head speed.
Let me give an example, my father who is 65+ hits a 5 iron about 150-160 yards. I am 23 years old and I hit a 5 iron between 200 and 230. Right there, you have almost a 100 yard difference between two people using the same club....
In trying to give an answer to this questions, a 1 hybrid golf club should be around or exceed 200 yards.. Again, this is really determined by your swing and the club head speed you generate.
Hope that helps!

Dining and lodging and other services are additional costs. Although it is an exclusive club, Augusta can keep its costs down due to the amount of money they make from hosting the Masters.
There are around 300 members of Augusta. There is no application for membership, it is strictly invitation only.When a spot opens, the club collectively decides who to invite and mails the invitation. All members are given the iconic green blazer.Augusta has drawn criticism in the past for not allowing black members until 1990 and female members until 2012.
If you ever get a chance to attend a practice round, or competitive round, at the Masters - do it, it is an experience you will never forget. In the meantime you'll have to enjoy watching the Masters.

Bell was also recorded as driving 319 yards on the fly at the 1971 King of the River Driving contest at Penrith. (Source: The Complete Book of Australian Golf, By Terry Smith 1978)
Mike Austin is the holder of the "Longest Drive in a Competition" title, with a 515-yard drive, way back in 1974! John Daly's best in competition is either 414 or 440 yards. Mike Dobbyn is the current "World Long Drive" Champion, with a distance of 551 yards.
The longest drive recorded in a regulation golf match was a 515 yard drive shot by "Mighty" Mike Austin during the US National Seniors Open Championship on Sept. 25, 1974. Although if you consider long drive competitors, Mike Dobbyn owns this record with an amazing 551 yard record, making him the current Long Drive Champion.

How much do 12 year old caddies make?
I started caddying when I was 13. When I first started, I made between 30-35 dollars/round. I am now 19 and make anywhere from 50 to 100 dollars a bag, and usually carry 2 bags. It doesn't pay much when you start, but at 12, there's not many other places to work and by the time you turn 16 when you can work somewhere else, you will be making far more than your friends working at McDonald's.
