EXPERT ADVICE TO GOLFERS
Learn to Walk Up to Your Ball and
Hit II Observation-Disclosures First
Principles Of Game.

II has been claimed that golfers who
fail to drive consistently can attribute
their shortcoming to not having sufii-
GENTLY mastered the first principles.
II those have been learned, the golfer
should walk up to his ball and hit 1t
naturally, and the body must be so
trained that all parts of the stroke are
performed more or less automatically.
Until golfer has thoroughly familiar
lied himself with the strokes used and
brought them under his control he can
not play well. On the other hand. 1t
Is dangerous practice to think Of
them constantly or to analyze every
stroke you make. If you do, the con-
scious effort to do one particular thing
will have just the opposite effect on
the rest of your stroke. Practice your
shots until they become n natural part
of your swing and then the rest will
come easy enOugh.-Sporting Life.
