to see the distance that can be got
without any great effort.
II the club head is started prop

But Not Always.
Heron and Hagen. who won the

might remember that Travers and
Travis, together. have won seven
amateur championships in the
United States, an open champion

of Great Britain-nine big titles

The Washington herald., 1920-04-05

The ideal type of long hitting In
golf is that practiced by Bob Nc
Donald. the brawny Scot.
If Mcdonald were only a base
ball pitcher he would be known as
a tall and rangy guy" Being a
golf professional, he is still a tall
and rangy guy" But for all that,
when he swirgs at a golf ball his
effort is almost as gentle as the
drift of a light April breeze through
the still leafless branches.
Mcdonald doesn't belong to the
slugging type, yet no golfer in
America can outdrive him
He lifts a light club and lets it
go with a flick.
The Mitchell Type.
Abe Mitchell, the mighty British
hitter, adopts. the opposite style.
Mitchell believes in gripping a club
with extreme firmness and wallop-
ing the ball with all he has in
stock.
He believes in crashing it-in ap-
plying the Babe Ruth smash.
Mitchell has all the physical re-
quirements for this type Of swing,
and he makes full use Of his allot-
ment.
When Jesse Guilford was outdriv-
ing any golfer in America in 1914
at Ekwanok. a big part of his dis
tance was obtained by his circular
swing.
By circular swing We mean that
on his back swing the club head
dipped as low as his left heel and
fAd al
to the right heel. His
Gle. He shortened this within the
twenty yards of his range.
One of his Ekwanok tee shots
was measured, and the carry was
found to be 3os yards.
Abe Mitchelrs longest carry has
been measured at 317 yards.
How Length Comes.
Distance in golf is not entirely a
matter Of strength. Distance comes
from the speed of the club head as
II hits the ball. Naturally, a strong
player. who has his timing under
control can speed up the club head
faster than, a weak entry can.
But against this stands the handi-
cap of strength where timing is
harder to control. A big, husky
man may take a powerful wallop
at the ball without being able to
speed up the club head at the right
moment. Many Of these hit too
soon, with the result that they
tighten up just before the club head
reaches the ball. This kills all dis
tance.
II one could make up his mind to
apply the hitting force out beyond
the ball, his average range would
be greater. for there would then be
no tightening of grip and fingers
too early in the downward swing.
For the Normal Duffer.
The average golfer can't hope to
control the timing of a smashing
wallop. His tendency to slug is
sure to bring constant failure. He
can only hope to control a swing
that has quite trifie in reserve.
This can only be done by not
overhitting. by letting the club it,
self do a full share of work. And
yet. by merely speeding up the club
head without any tendency to
smash the ball. he will be surprised
