The duffer gets the idea into his

1t is easy enough to do and quite
a cinch compared with learning the
art OF sinking long puts. Bad
plotting is usually the result Of short
driving. A player gets into the
habit Of swinging his arms at the
ball instead Of using the body.

The natural pivot would save him In

Another thing important Is hitting
a long ball in perfect timing. II Is

The result Is a pushed shot sons
