    Kinetic energy of golf club = 65J,

    kinetic energy supplied to golf ball = 20% of 65 = 0.2 * 65 = 13J,

    kinetic energy of ball = [mass * Velocity²]/2,

    mass = 46gm = 0.046Kg,

    [0.046 * V²]/2 = 13, or 0.046 * V² = 26,

    V² = 26/0.046 = 565.22,

    V = 23.77 m/sec = initial velocity of golf ball after hitting.
