First, when the golf club is to hit the golf ball, all energy is stored as gravitational potential energy of golf club(Ep), so the total energy system before the golf club hits the ball is written as: ET = Ep(initial) = mgh
As the club swings down, the gravitational potential energy is converted to the kinetic energy. And then when the club hits a golf ball, kintic energy of the club will be converted to the linear and rotational kinetic energy of the ball and some will be converted to heat and sound energy due to inelastic collision. In order to measure the gravitational potential energy, a golf club fell from the same height and the height reached after the collision was measured. The height difference between after the collision and before
