The Proper Finish.
The finish of the shot is often mis-

golfers actually believe that if they

that a long follow through. such as

Where Force is Applied.
Some golfers are 50 afraid tHat
they are going to be guilty of swing
ing fast in the back swing that they
take the club back too slowly, which
IS almost if not quite. as bad The
club must be started down in the
proper way and with the proper speed

trying to put a lot of force in the
shot at the top Of the swing the cor
rect timing will be lost. The force
is really applied about four feet from
the ball. but there is a gradual blend
ing of the stroke without any break
in the rhythm which might tend to
throw the club-head off the track.
The impact and the follow through
is a continuation of the third part
which is more likely to blend with il
than with any other two parts The
golfer must remember this The hit
