GOLFING HINTS
y ..STRAIGHT DRIEE.I'


TAKING THE CLUB BACK
Much power is added to the stroke
If the club is taken back with the
hands several inches before the
upper arm or elbows get into the
swing. Many Of the books on golf
and professional coaches ignore this
the reason that they think every
one must ultimately do II right.
If the club head is taken back
along with a line parallel with the
ground six or eight inches with the
wrists only before 1t is swung
around and up by the elevation Of
the elbows and upper arms, the
principle Of the fulcrum will produce
greatly added power and consistency
in the stroke
In the downward stroke TO the ball
the hands operate exactly the re-
verse Of the way they go back and
around. 50 the final return to the
normal during the last few inches,
before the ball is hit and swept
away here indicated produces the
snap that means greatly added dis
lance
II may take some practice to
effectively apply this bit Of advice,
but it viii yield satisfactory results

average player At first the in
clination to closely watch the club
head go back correctly viii en-
barrass the player, but after a little
