I have to do a paper as well. Fluid friction helps to move the ball from right to left and left to right. This is manipulated by the sing. The swing is based on a "swing plane". Manipulating this plane gives movement. A sing straight down the plane causes a straight shot. A swing from inside out causes a shot from right to left (draw) inversely, outside in causes left to right (fade/slice depending on severity) These swings are what cause the ball to spin (firction)The "dimples" on the ball create drag which cause movement Momentum comes from the swing. Action reaction comes from the mechanics of the swing (explained above) Keep in mind projectile motion and F=ma. Also each club has a certain degree of loft associated with it (wedge-Driver). This may be considered as your angle in the formula.
Good luck

: : : I have to do a research paper on the Physics of golf. I am having trouble finding information on how rolling, sliding, and/or fluid friction influence the movements of Golf? Also, How does the force of gravity influence the movements in Golf? As well as, How does inertia apply to Golf? How does momentum apply to Golf? How do action-reaction forces apply to Golf? If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
