As the president and co-owner of Godsell Construction Corporation, Arthur Godsell manages a variety of daily operations and sales efforts for the company his parents founded in 1968. Arthur Godsell balances his professional responsibilities with a wide range of additional interests, including golf.
In a recent article in Golf Magazine, golf researcher and sports analytics expert Mark Broadie explained how Jason Day, a seven-time PGA Tour winner, has been able to save strokes and become a top golfer. Broadie states that Day found success by improving his leave distance, or the distance between the hole and the location where an approach shot stops. Over the past few years, Day transitioned from hitting 50 percent of his approach shots 20 feet from the hole, to hitting half his shots 15 feet or less from the pin. Broadie notes that this seemingly small improvement in lead distance made a significant impact on Day’s scoring. To enhance his leave distance, Day practiced approach shots on greens instead of using cones or flags on the range for distance practice. Practicing on greens allowed Day to study how balls reacted in a realistic setting and learn how balls stopped in relation to the hole.
