What is the lift coefficient of a spinning golf ball?

I'm doing a project on the lift gained by a spinning golf ball specifically. Since there are lift coefficients for aerofoil wings (which gain lift by a pressure differential) and a spinning golf ball will also produce a pressure differential, there should also be a lift coefficient. Does anyone know a source - internet or otherwise - for this value, or for values to do with it eg lift coefficient for a generic ball?



any ideas/thoughts/pointers would be very helpful, thanks!What is the lift coefficient of a spinning golf ball?pointers
