No one ever hit a golf ball with terminology.
1-H (last paragraph) "As a term is specifically defined herein, that is the basic connotation which is always a dictionary definition but not necessarily that of Physics, Electrical, etc. The dictionary is generally considered a standard of precision. Scientific terms in quotes denote a loose application with obvious intent, because no better term seems available. Measurements given herein are for the golf course rather than the laboratory, but the laboratory will show them within acceptable tolerances. Clarity and usefulness are the only motive."

At the time of Homer Kelley's death in 1983, Merriam-Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defined the following:

centrifugal force n: the force that tends to impel a thing or parts of a thing outward from the center of rotation
