teresting series in prospect, the
Oahu polo team will play the Cavalry

The town men will play three periods

Today's game is a complimentary
exhibition to Colonel George K. Nc

staunch friend of the galloping game,
and who has done much to foster the
sport in the service here. Colonel

GOLF GOSSIP

I o
/ have not given you anything from
our old friend T. n. y. in the World of
Golf for quite long time. Here is
one of his always interesting articles:
Where the longer shots are concern.
ed there is not the slightest doubt to
me that two-thirds of our troubles are
caused by our making conscious
effort to get just little too far When
say our troubles" mean those OF
us who still know how TO foozle more
or less frequently. 1 might have used
the word pressing, which, of course,
is the same as trying to do too much,
but the novice hears SO much about
not pressing that he is apt to become
bored and to regard il merely as a
parrot cry without stopping to consid-
er exactly what pressing means to
him.
Should Not Hit Too Hard.
wild, fierce lunge at the ball is
obviously pressing, and even the veri-
est tyro knows and recognizes it as
such, but there are other kinds of
pressing which are not quite so ap
parent That is why used the phrase
trying to get distance The average
beginner always appears to me TO be
endeavcring to get a terrible length
every tire. Even after he has passed
the Mngeing stage he seems to feel
that he must put lot of energy into
his long shots. yet after two or three
foozles he will relate with unconscious
humor what much longer ball he
often gets without hitting half SO
hard.
That Is, of course. the explanation
When not hitting hard It is much cas-
Ter to time properly and to get more
work with the wrists; consequently,
although the physical effort is less, the
clnbhead is travelling much quicker
at the moment Of impact, and when
all is said, that is the determining
factor where length is concerned.
Correct timing. wrist action, follow
ing through, head steady. and any
such hackneyed advice, If followed,
has the effect Of imparting speed to
the clubhead at the psychological mo-
ment.
The novice reaiizes that the club
head must move quickly. but he not In |
frequently begins speeding up in the |
wrong place. For example, II is no |
use trying to add 20 yards to the drive
by merely ouickening the movement
Ct the shoulders In like manner t.
Is no use moving the upper arm more |
ranidlE than the lower and continuing |
still further, II avails nothing merely |
to move the hands. You can drag the |
hands forward a considerable distance /

inc the head Of the club an inch.
Therefore, to sum up, as We can get |
a greater distance only by moving !
the clubhead quicker, II behooves us
to see that we do not put out extra |
energy into just swinging our should.
ers and arms. What we want to do Is |
to speed up our wrist action first, then
1t necessarily follows that our arms |
and shoulders viii move little more |

as the hub Of wheel does not travel |
