A Tip About the Elbows

ON the backward swing he sure to keep
the right olbow iu close to your body. This
forms a sort Of a take or for the down
ward stroke. Make your descent down a
line where the clubhead will meet the han at
right angle. If you swing inside or outside
of this imaginary line you are likely TO
do all sorts OF damage
Imagine your club is a pencil draw the
upward line with it, and bring it down on
the same line.
Don't quit when the Cubhead has met
the ball. but follow it right through with
preferably the left elbow coming in to the
left side, that is getting sort Of bent
follow through Just throw the head Of
the club at the ball as II it were weight
on the end Of a string and let it follow
through enough to have to pull it back on
