If she had managed to hit the plane would that have been enough to force a landing?

If it had just hit the fuselage, probably not unless it broke a window. If it went into an engine, yes since birds going into engines are enough to create a pan-pan or mayday situation.

birds go into jet engines all the time. it is only a problem if the bird strike exceeds tolerances based on the engine size and the total mass of birds that go in. you can't really avoid it entirely. likewise, small rocks also regularly get sucked in while taxiing. i don't think a golf ball would be much of a problem, but that's a normal golf ball and not a rage-fueled golf super power like in birdie wing.

It is a Blue Bullet after all.
