playing on a public course for two
months, during which time have I'M

asked me, with more courtesy than

greatly surprised, not knowing the
rules. Won't you write an article IN
the space allotted TO Chick Evans on
this subject to help other beginners.

Golfers pay too little attention to
their physique. A heavy man will see
a small fellow wind up in a knot and
turn loose into ball like lightning.
He'll think at once that the trouble
with his game is his shorter and sitter
stroke. IN attempting to initiate the
loose jointed player he will lose his
balance and dub the ball.
AS a matter of fact the stout golfer
makes his worst mistake in attempt
ing to take a full swing on the ball.
He should use the three quarters
stroke. In that manner he is sure of
his balance and sure of his connection
with the ball It is the clean. straight
shot that counts in golf. # gives more
pleasure to the game and adds to the
disposition of the player.
The average golfer who is tall
always asks for long clubs. This is a
common error in the selection of
sticks The tall man should have n
rather short club. 1t enables him to
get closer to the ball. The farther
away from the bah the less positive
the drive. The average golfer who is
short seems to be under the, impress
sion that he should buy short clubs.
Again a mistake. He should have
longer Clubs 10 make up for his short
arms. 1t is the general average that
counts.
A man with strong wrists and hands
should use stiff shafted clubs. He will
find it difficult to control his shots
with flexible shafts. The player with
comparatively weak wrists, and hands
will find his game easier with whippy
shafts In doing this he feels the club
head much better
You hear lots of talk about keep
ing your eye on the ball. = This rule
can be carried too far-and ii is
carried too far. AS a result the aver
age golfer is inclined to keep his ewes
glued to the ball, thus holding the
body too rigid. This form prevents
the pivoting which is compulsory to a
well timed swing
You often see a player, when swing
ing an iron, take first his mid-iron
then his mashie, from the bag. If he
IS too close for a mid-iron and too far
for a mashie he usually selects the
mashie. This is a mistake. It is bet
ter to be over the hole than short.
When in doubt as to distance always
use the greater distance club.

Questions and Answers.
(Sent in to this column.)
Q.-Why dol always slice?
Al don't know. Why do L?
Q.-Is the Shawnee club incor-
A.-No. The directors will incor-
porate and put the club on a purely
business basis when the Country club
makes its proposition to sell the
ground now occupied blythe Shawnees.
Q.-Who is the best amateur golfer
in Topeka? \
A.-This column grants the honors
to Harlow Hurley. Hurley is going
better this year than ever before.
Other mighty sweet players include
DR.. Allen, Pete" Middleton. Jack
Grow, "Bub" Crow. Ilif Felix, Frank
Griggs, and Joe Wilson.
Q.-What make clubs are the best
A.-This question will be referred
publicly to Pro- Nelson of the Coun-
try club. Erwin Nelson marks on
golf sticks undoubtedly stand for the
best there are in Topeka.
Odd anyone ever drive to the
second ditch on No. 2 at Shawnee?
A.-To this columns knowledge,
Pete" Middleton and Arthur Bone
brake have performed the feat The
wind was from the north in both in
Stances
Q--When are women not supposed
to play on the Topeka courses.
Ait both the Shawnee and Coun-
try clubs. women players are asked
rot to play Saturday afternoons and
Sundays.
Q.-Are ringer scores at the Coun-
try club supposed to be verified.
A.-The player is supposed to have
his card signed by his opponent or a
fellow player when the score was
made. Caddy signatures are not rec
ognized.
One way of showing Flanders your
appreciation, Shawnees, is to relieve
him of some of the large stock of
picked-up balls in his possession. This
service to the players is without profit
to thef groundkeeper unless he is able
to dispose of the balls he buys from
the caddies.
