Great stuff. How about wrapping up by discussing in which direction the slab of grass (or piece of cartpath) should be flying - relative to the target line and/or the initial ball direction? Or did you just say that? On Line Divot

I'm no expert, but I would think the slab of grass should go left. Because the clubhead is moving a little left as its leaving the ground, the face may be turning left, and because the piece of ground stays on the clubhead a bit past impact (with the ground). The slab of grass is not 'hit' straight, it is 'thrown' left.

Note: that's assuming the kind of ground where the divot holds together, not where you just get a kind of spray of dirt!
