The 5 ball flight laws

[bobmac]

Following on from the 4 fundamentals, has anyone heard of the 5 ball flight laws?

These ones you mean?

1. If you want it to go left - it'll go right
2. If you want it to go right - it'll go left
3. If you want it to stop - it'll run for a mile
4. If you want it to run on - it'll stop dead
5. If you want it to stay dry - it'll get wet

Yes - I was told about them by DJ Russell when I was a junior.

Would I be right in saying:
club angle, swing angle, club face direction at impact, swing direction & swing speed are what affect ball flight?

Gil, you've earned yourself a sweetie. 4/5
Where the ball hits the clubface (toe, heal etc) was the one you missed.
These are the 5 laws that have a direct influence on how the ball flies.

Excuse me but what are the flight laws if you're playing in a four ball?

Excuse me but what are the flight laws if you're playing in a four ball?

no.1 Someone will always lose a ball (slice) which we spend ages looking for putting me off my own game.
no.2 Someone will hit a 275 drive and then duff a LW from 40 yards.
no. 3 Someone will have a 3 putt on every green.

I don't know the other two laws.....anyone??.....

4. the 4 blue rinses get to the first tee 5 seconds before you do. They can run pretty fast when they want to
