the clubhead will be in a position to
hit the ball smoothly. that is. so that
neither corner OF the club will dig in
the ground or in any way interfere
with the stroke.
Position Is Important.
This proper positioning OF the club
head is a very important preliminary
to the making of a successful shot. 1t
has first Of all to do with direction be-
cause the face of the club must be
exactly at right angles with the imag-
mary line of direction for the least
variation from that angle will mean
a hook or slice.
Occasionally so me professional
golfers turn the club face out some
what, and, being skilled, they get away
with it. but it is a bad practice and
usually results disastrously. OF
course, there may be times when a
man is playing with but one club and
he changes the slant OF it for very
high or low balls. but that merely
means that he is trying to get from
one club the results to be obtained
/ from variously lofted ones. A player
should try never to lose sight of the
principle of simplification in his game,
and for that reason he should not
have one position of the clubhead for
one shot and entirely different ones
for others. Have them all as nearly
alike as possible.
Let Clubhead Do Work.
Get the full value of service OF the
different clubs, their differing lofts
give the proper variation of angles for
high and low balls. Bearing this idea
in mind will also help one to put in
practice the rule of letting the club
| head do its share of work.
With the clubhead in position you
advance somewhat and take the pro-
per grip, the hands and clubhead be-
ing even. Bring your feet up to a
comfortable position (square or open
stance, as the case requires) and care
| fully adjust them. Then, following a
preparatory waggle, you are ready to
trike the blow that will if you are
| fortunate result in a good golf shot.

Addressing the Ball.


With requirement of a grip and a
stance, the player is now ready to
address the ball, and hardly too much
importance can be attached to the
manner of this address. 1t really
means getting properly ready to make
the stroke, for it, is impossible to get
up and place the feet on the line for
the square stance, or a bit back for the
open without a dreadful feeling of dis
comfort that tightens every muscle
and turns ones grip into a wise. The
right address. as take it, is an ad-
justment of weight that results in a
feeling OF comfort. 1t should be
about the same COR all clubs with the
Idea of comfort constantly in mind,
for I consider comfort a leading motif
of all good golf play.
When I get up to address the ball I
stand with my feet close together and
with the club held loosely in my hand.

"Fore!" came the cry across the
