I never disputed that golf balls have lift. I simply said I don't think
they will rise above the launch line as was suggested.

The lift will cause them to descend more slowly that they would due to
ballistics alone, but that is far different than saying they will rise
upwards above the launch path.


That is not what I've observed. When watching professional golfers hit
balls they appear to travel a traditional trajectory (often call the
"cannon" route) for the first couple hundred feet and then take a
noticable up path when they should start to sink. That up path seems
quite dramatic to me. Its often called the "second wind". That's just
my observation.
