HIT BALL FIRST, :
THEN TAKE TURF
But Let Club Head Con-
tinue Into Good Follow
Through, Says Evans
WHEN BALL IS IN ROUGH
By CHARLES (CHICKl EVANS

Be sure to follow through, for the best
shots come when that Is done, but the
good shot imperatively demands that the
ball be distinctly hit before the follow
through begins. If the ball is hit in the
middle of a follow-through, or at the
beginning of one 1t causes the same
result as showing.
Then 1 must remind you Of the wis.,
dom of taking turf. 1t seems to assure
you of your shot. 1t steadies the club
head and straightens out an imperfect
arc and stroke:
What I mean by taking turf is: Hit
the ball first and take the turf after
ward, but let your clubhead continue
into good follow-through. Do not get
your body ahead of the flying clubhead.
Lighter Grip, More Backspin
The lighter the grip you take of your
stopum the more backspin results, and
the more difficult it is to hit accurately.
AS In everything else in golf the more
difficult the task the better the result
when properly completed
For those longer shots with the
stopum and mashie and jigger take
little longer hold on the club and you
easily.
1 find, particularly on these stopum
shots that a chip of sod is necessary to
their successful execution. 1t Is hard
on the golf course to be sure, but If the
chip is properly taken and Is instantly
replaced the divot will easily grow again
and the damage will be slight.
Think always of hitting through and
beyond the ball. Another good thing to
remember, too, is to be sure that your
descending stroke is straight into the
line of play.
Necessary to Relax
The more relaxed one is on the run
ups, the easier the shot, the less chance
of jerk-that fatal fault in a run-up
shot-and the. smoother the running
ball.
When a ball is lying badly in the
rough. or in the fairgreen, you do not
necessarily have to hit the ball before
the turf. In such circumstances play
the shot as you would bunker shot,
and hit the turf or ground far enough
behind the ball to permit your blade to
go into the turf, pick up the ball ana
come out on the other side. 1t is sur
prising how successfully such a shot
can be played.
The forward press is one of my fav-
orite aids to good golf, and recommend
whenever l have the chance goou
follow-through and the taking of turf.
There is no time that it Is not well for
golfer to remember the value of re-
Taxation. He must make it one of his
cardinal virtues, for it leads one into
the world Of rythm where perfect shots
abound.
Questions and Answers
Question-Whch is better. a low tee
or fairly. high tee?
Ansyer-I believe one should always
play. from low tee excepting when the
wind is back of you. There is then not
so much difference in the lay of the
ball when you come to play your Sec
ond shot on the fairway. Furthermore,
If the shot is properly executed with the
sary since the left of the face of the
club will give the desired height.
