man nine strokes per round and gen
eran rOmps home a winner.
To the average business man who
has taken up the game late in life
this bit of actual experience should be
of much encouraging interest. 1t is
useless for the business man neceS-
sarily limited regarding practice and
encOmpaSsed with fat and soft muscles
to try and initiate the pros. with their
full swings acquired during their cad
dy days
I do not advocate the short swing
simply because it has proved effective
in building up my own game, such as
it is. Experience in watching hun
dreds, If not thousands, of players has
demonstrated to me that as a rule the
better players are coming to shorter
swinging and gaining greater precision
and effectiveness by so doing.
It may seem difficult at first to
check the back swing, but if you will
play your wooden clubs about the
same as you now play your irons re-
garding the back swing you will soon
acquire q command regarding direc-
ton that will make the game much
more interesting
