   Climb to the tallest peak.  Tee up.  Strike the ball *just so* so that it   
   travels horizontally off the tee at approximately 1.68 km/s.  Please   
   replace your divot.   
      
      
   Vcir = sqrt(G*m/r)   
   G = 6.67e-11 N m^2 / kg^2   
   m = 7.35e22 kg   
   r = 1738 km   
      
      
   Take care,
