The well struck golf ball provides a glimpse of perfection.
I can tell on impact what the shot will do and how closely its flight will match my intentions.
When I strike it pretty well, I can finish my swing then look to a spot the sky where I know it will be. I tapped it a little to the left, but cutting right. It's on a high trajectory. Yup, there it is.
But when I strike it really well; when my thoughts were only on my target and the swing was as automatic as tying shoes; well, then I can simply look back to my target point on the ground and wait for the ball to drop in.
Joy.
...And sometimes you can strike it really well, know what it's going to do, giving you the time to look up, admire it in flight, then turn your gaze back to your target and wait for it to arrive.
