The top is the most aggravating
shot in golf. Nothing disgusts a man
more than a mistake of this kind.
Nothing creates more anger and
anguish.
Every golfer tops. This should be
encouraging to the beginner. The
older player does not worry about a
top because he realizes it is only care
lessness. He usually tops only once a
round and he gives it little thought.
But the beginner-few new players
escape the trouble.
Many faults cause the top and they
are all easy to overcome.
think pressing or trying to kill the
ball heads the list of faults.
Raising the body on the back swing
comes next.
A top also will follow stiffened
back swing.
Playing the ball too far off the
right foot will cause the club head to
meet the ball on top.
Looking up too quickly or by allow
ing the body to come first often causes
the ball to roll only rs or so yards.
You will note that have neglected
one supposed fault-"taking the eye
off the ball" This is one of the first
warnings a beginner hears on a golf
course, so naturally he is trying con-
stantly to keep his eye on the ball.
This usually causes him to glue his
eye" thus keeping the body from
turning in unison with the swing,
which is absolutely necessary to a
well-timed stroke, never tell a
pupil to keep his eye on the ball be-
cause he will invariably look up too
quickly. In fact, I often tell them to
keep their eyes on the hands on the
back swing or to close their eyes when
they hit the ball. This often will cure
the player of a top. So you will see
that keeping the eye on the bali the
player receives little help.
Players curing top should prac-
tice swinging the club both ways
Swing back easily and then thru a lit
tie harder, repeating this seven OIL
eight times.
Don't try to kill the ball but swing
! hard enough so that the swing will be
| let out at full length. I don't teach
the straight left arm, because tbs
pupil will try to keep 1t straight al
| thru the swing and he is more likely
to bend the arm at the impace If ht
has them straight at the top. Thus
advise bending them at the top. 1
is advisable also to play the ball ever
with the left heel in order to hit i
more on the up swing than the dowr
swing. At the top of the swing youl
head should be turned with the swins
so that you are looking at the bal

The Shawnee club membership in

Old players on both Topeka courses
have been confronted with the duty
this season of informing new players
of the etiquet of the game. There
are SO many first season golfers out
this year that the finer points OF play
have been neglected. This is not the
fault of the new players. They do not
know-and should not be expected to
know unless given the proper informa-
ton. Here are a few hints as sug-
gested by recent breaches noted on
both courses:
Don't talk while q player Is hitting

Don't move while a player is hit
