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 12, 1988 was a Monday as Lloyd continued his golf mastery quest. In his journal he wrote "today I discovered the four characteristices of a golf shot:"
1. Distance
2. Trajectory
3. Direction
4. Spin
He went on to state that the 4 characteristics respond to ball flight laws as follows:
1. Club head path at impact.
2. Club face postition at impact.
3. Squareness of club face at impact.
4. Angle of attack.
5. Club head speed at impact.
If you want to know how to apply these ball flight laws, that create that perfect golf shot, give the Coach a call.
On a life note Lloyd had what he called the thought of the day and it was "having peace of mind at the end of the day," thanks for that reminder Coach.
Till next journal post, "take dead aim"....Wes
