GOLF GOSSIP I
BY HARRY yARDON.
(The British Champion.

must confess that there are more
really bad golf players among women
than there are among men. and my
experience as a teacher tells lie that
the cause of their failure is, III q 7ery
large number. Of cases, the circum
stance that they turn the left wrist the
wrong way at the beginning of the
swing. The commences of this fault
where women golfers are concerned
is truly extraordinary, and it has puz.
zled me greatly.
The only explanation that can con,
ceive is that most of them play the
piano and that they develop an ur,
conquerable habit of arching the
wrists in the same way as when strik.
ing the keys of the instrument in
question that is to say, bending the
wrists in such a way that they are
looking up TO the ceiling or the sky.
This is precisely what women do IL
q very great number of instances on
the links.
Turn cf Wrist Important.
One of the most important principles
of the golf swing Git is not far from
being the chief is to turn the left
wrist gently toward the body at tie
beginning OF the swing; unless this is
done, the wrist in question will be
bent outward at the top Of the swing.
and then the club will be in a hope
less position for straight shot. The
left wrist absolutely must be disposed
under the shaft (not arched outward)
at the top. and it is in this connection
that women golfers exhibit their most
pronounced weakness.
Their. keenness IS splendid. In Brit.
ain, at any rate, l am sure that, taken
as a body, they are much more in
earnest about the game than the men.
Often you will find two men contest.

frame of mind: but have never seen
women So disposed Even though
nothing tangible depends on the re-
suit they struggle for all they are
worth and very seldom talk during the
round Personally. ] Ike to observe

your attention upon it.
Women Play With Zeal.
Proof of the keenness of women is
to be found in the zeal with which
they arrange and contest interteam
matches. These events are almost
dead in britain, so far as men are con-
cerned, but they are fast increasing

hers of their sex in the circumstance
that they are very long drivers; saw
the match between Miss Leitch and
Mr.. Hilton, and could not help being
impressed by the frequency with
which she drove almost as far as her
opponent. Equally noteworthy about
Miss Leitch,s play is her power of re-
covering from difficulties; she hits
shots from long grass and other un-
pleasant places with a measure OF
skill and strength that few people
could hope to excel At one time her
iron shots were not quite right, and
| meant to tell her that she would in-
prove three strokes round if she
altered her swing with the iron. But
apparently she discovered the point
herself, for when next / watched her
play there was nothing wrong with
the iron shots.
Her sister, Miss May Leitch. who is
left.handed, would be quite as good il
only she would practise little Some
times she does not touch a club for a
month or two, md yet she is always
at scratch and breaking records.
Women Excel in Putting.
As putters women are on occasion
almost uncanny in their excellence,
especially when they attain a condi-
tion Of nervous tension which is
evolved so often in the critical stage
of Championship Then is the time
to sec what the fair sex can do on the
green; the frequency with which the
hoiiEg OF long putt by one player
is followed by a Similar feat on the
part of an OPPONENT who is fighting
for half seizes the imagination.
