Just a quick note, the standard test for cooeficient of restitution
relies upon an infinitely rigid floor for the object to rebound
a=gainst.  To rephrase what Larry said, in the case of the wood
floor/golf ball. the restitution coeeficient of the floor itself is
included in your measurement.  There is a phys tech paper from a few
years back that discusses this.  If I can find it, I'll ref it.
