The Importance of Rhythm
.S2f 1EzzAzE20N QF TIE UW7ED .g717TS

out Of the million golfers now in the
United States there isn't one, star or
duFcr, who isn't trrin: to find some
method to save few strokes and plav
4 better game.
Instruction in other forms of sport
doesn't seem TO be quite so important.
for golf is more Il game to be PLAYED
than game to be watched, AS q gen.
eral thing.
ball and football don't play either
game.
But in golf We are all players, all
trying to get better and to learn what
we can.
If had to name ono thing that !.
golfer needs above everything else, I
believe would select rhythm Of stroke.
Without this the rest Of it seems to
be- an unnatural effort.
Rhythm means evcnnesa. with the
speed coming in ct the right time.
/, means mean, starting the club, head
at the right place and then going on
through to finish without breaking
the momentum Of the swing.
Finding Rhythm
In starting new golf season the
only way is to start from the right
place.
And the main foundation of rhythm
in the swing is mental poise.
Don't be too anxious to hit the ball.
Don't think ahead Of the stroke. Don't
get too sore at mistake. These
things all break in on concentration.
Think steadily and evenly what you
want to do, what club you will need,
how hard you Will hit.
That is all the thinking you have to
30 as you take your stance.
Then there comes the matter Of the
swing itself with these things already
decided
1t is now mainly matter Of rhythm
to the swing.
You won't get this rhythm by sud-
denly jerking tho club head back with
the right hand.
You won't get it by hurrying tho
back swing.
With the left hand in control let the
club head start back steadily and
evenly, and as it starts let the left
shoulder and the left knee turn in
together.
That's the start OF rhythm to the
swing. Naturally, as the left shoulder
and the left knee turn in, the left heel
comes up slightly. But if the lett
the body sways back in place Of the
right sort of pivoting, there can be no
even swing.
On the Down Swing
Rhythm is still controlling factor
Of the down swing. On the down swing
The average tendency is to hit entirely
90 quickly-to hit at the top of the
Town swing in place of saving the big
punch at the right time
You cant put the punch or the snap
# the wrists in twice. If the snap OF
ne wrists comes in at the top Of the
wing it can't come in again as the
all is being hit.

"hy SO many have fine practice swings,
but lose this effect when the ball is

through naturally and evenly. With-
cut the ball their rhythm is about per

Everything seems TO be tight End rigid.

forward the snap Of wrist comes Just
as he lets the ball go. The same idea
applies to golf swing. There is no
such thing as jerky rhythm. And If

swing is pretty sure to follow the
same turn.
There can, Of course, be no rhythm
i the body gets in front of the hands
in the swing, or if the hands go lurch-
ing out in front OF the club head. The
swing should pull the body or through

on its own part to cut through too
quickly. These are points the golfer
must study and work on. In practice
he should see that his swing is work.

where hurried back swing or a sud-
den jab or stab will rarely reach the
cup. 1t would be hard to imagine a
finer exhibition of rhythm than one can
see in watching the putting blades Of
Travers, Guilford, Ray, Mitchell, Hagen,
etc., at work. Smoothness and firmness
arc the two main qualities to be seen.
