@manorsgolf We really should have used AI for this... Our Creative Director asked if we could cover this 250 m² green with golf balls. First, we had to do the maths 👇 1️⃣ A golf ball’s diameter = 42.67 mm (0.04267 m) Footprint area = π × r² = 0.00143 m² 2️⃣ Divide the green by that area: 250 m² ÷ 0.00143 m² ≈ 174,825 golf balls ✅ Final Answer: about 175,000 balls to cover a green (no gaps). Spoilers, we failed. But we gave it a mighty good go, and with no special effects.
