Harry vardon, Times Expert,
Emphasizes This Cardinal
Principal Of Game.
BY HARRY vARDoN,
The Worlds Most Famous Golfer.

All the good shots In golf (all at any
rate. except the putt. which Ii a thing
apart, are founded on the principle Of
the body turning on a pivot instead OF
swaying back and then iunging forward
at the ball. That pivot IL the waist.
No doubt everybody who has made the
slightest study OF the game appreciates
this piece of orthodoxy. but II cannot be
empha sized too strongly because the
number OF people who disregard It, even
though they realize its Importance, con-
stitute about half the golfing world.
Why do they fail TO observe the first
law of the true swing7
Presumably. the reason IL that. In the
days of their novitiate. they fall into .
bad habit which becomes ingrained In
their constitutions. They penetrate It
without being conscious that they are
practicing It. That Is the way with
habits. There In many person who
will declare till he In black Id the face
that he In not swaying when you know
all the while that he IL.
/ have had plenty of pupils Of that
kind. and to convince them l have gem
orally produced a device which was
who took up the game at the age Of
fifty-six and made himself a scratch
player In about two years. Briefly. the
Idea IL that a strong thread In hxed to
the cap of the golfer and passes down
n bamboo cane or other hollow upright
about yard In front of him. The end
of the thread Is attached to an indi-
cator-any small piece of wood or metal
will serve as an indlcator-which pro-
trudes from the bottom Of a narrow
slit running almost to the top Of the
upright. .
1t stands to reason that, II a player
swRys, his head must go the same way
as his body. and when he moves his
head. he pulls at the thread. which ac-
cordingly makes the indicator run up
the slit In the tube. Colonel Quill had
the upright marked In inches so that he
could tell lust how far he was moving
his head and to what extent he was
overcoming the fault.
This IL perhaps a rather elaborate and
even quaint way Of proving an error.
but there are times when II Ii the only
means of inducing person to believe
that he IL swayine. But I'm sure I'm
not" Is a phrase to which ! have had to
listen on dozens OF occasions when to
the observer there could be no possible
doubt on the point.

style might obtain a stick with a ring

to an Indicator resting on the turf, the
other end being fixed to his cap. Then

since 1t also governs the method OF

mashie and the niblick call for a rather
different form of control. but that varia-
ton comes readily enough when we
know the fundamental rule Of action.
II is a failacy to suppose that any par
ticular part of .he body, such as the
arms or wrists, has to be very specially
applied to the task OF hitting the ball.
The whole anatomy should work as one
piece OF mocha nism. with the club as
part and parcel of the human frame.
The club-head should be started first by
means Of n gentle half-turn of the left
wrist toward the body and the arms
should follow, thus causing the body to
screw round at the hips until the arms
will go no farther. To all intents and
purposes. you wind up the body with
the arms and unwind II with the Same
agents, your whole frame turning in
