HAGEN EXPLAINS FIVE PARTS NECESSARY TO A GOOD DRIVE

out any break in the rhythm which tend to throw the clubhead off the track.
 The impact and the follow through is continuation of the third part, which IS more likely to blend with 1t than with any other two parts. The golfer must remember this. The hitting of the ball is not completed when the impact has v-en made. The clubhead must be permitted to go on through as fast as it can.
 A lazy indifferent follow through will produce no practical results. No easy tap will be sufficient to make a drive worth while. The ball must be hit hard, but experts with per feet timing so beautifully disguise the fact that they are hitting hard that one often wonders where the powes comes from tn their stroke.
 The fifth part of the swing has practically nothing to do with a long drive or a short drive, but it is an important part of the swing Just the same. This we all know as the finish. When the club goes around the back, the swing has ended. Some exaggerdte this movement while others do not finish with the club behind the back at all.
 The Proper Finish.
 The finish of the snot is often mis- taken for the follow through. Many golfers actually believe that if they have finished well, the follow through must have been very long while, as matter of fact, it is often the case, that long follow through. such as Abe Mitchell uses, prevents the club from finishing behind the bask. It would be out of rhythm if it did. because the arc of his swing is very flat, due to a long follow through.
 Timing must be considered and considered seriously, if one Is going to obtain any satisfactory results in golf Some golfers have a beautiful swing while clipping off a daisy head, but they seem to lose it when hitting a ball. It is better to practice with ball at all times to overcome this fault.

 Fukuda, the youngest star of the Japanese team, took one set from Anderson, but proved clearly that he is nowhere near the Australians equal on the courts Anderson showed his complete confidence in the fourth set by beginning his serv- ice in the drop-cut manner serv- ice generally used by players only to amuse themselves. Fukuda could not stand the speed of his game, and Anderson ran out the fourth set quickly.
