Hitting A Ball In Golf
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jun 18, 2007 (message contributor)
Hitting a Ball in golf
I have a terrible hook or slice. I cant remember which. it’s the one that cuts to the right.
If I get all my weight behind a ball I can drive it for about 300-350 yards
But it doesn’t help when I cut it to the right
I’ve tried everything
Slowing down, taking my time
Trying new grips, new clubs
I even turned my body at an odd angle hoping that the ball would go straight
But nothing seems to work
Then one day, at an in door driving course, my father watched what I was doing
He told me that as I swing down on the ball, I lift my head
This in turn moves my eyes
And my focus is moved from the ball to where I hope it will go.
My dad told me that I need to FIX my eyes on the ball until the ball is struck and follow it out into the green
As I watch other golfers hit the ball I can’t help to watch them in motion.
Their head is locked, their eyes fixed, the ball is struck and their goal is accomplished
