Our Coach, Lloyd Gathier, left me his 1988 Journal packed with golf and life tips. The Journal is an interesting insight into the mindset of our Coach as he attempts to master this game of golf that we all love and make sense out of the gift of life that we all enjoy.
January 1, 1988 was a Friday and across the top of the journal Lloyd wrote down this goal:
"Learn one thing today that will make you a better golfer tomorrow."
Lloyd identifed a number of things that week to help him be a better putter:
1. Keep the putter low and inside on the take back.
2. Keep the head steady while putting.
3. Learn to putt with arms and shoulders instead of wrists.
4. The left hand/arm does the leading in taking back the putter.
At the bottom of the page Lloyd had referenced Psalms 1:3 which states:
"He will be like a tree firmly planted by steams of water, which yeilds its fruit in its seasons and its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers."
Psalms 1 talks about being blessed and living a righteous life...something that all of us can agree with.
Untill next journal entry, squeeze the joy out of golf and life...Wes
