do not like to wait for the clubhead.
When reminded of this fault they still
are at a loss to know how to correct IT,.
The only way to obtain any results that
will be satisfactory is to hold the body
perfectly still until the club head is on
the ball. l start the club back with the
left hand doing the pushing, as it is
easier to push with the left hand than to
pull with the right; this is why the
principal work in hitting the ball is done
with the right. One does not have much
power pulling the club through with the
left hand.
An important thing to remember In
the back swing. Is to keep the right
elbow well In to the side. II one will
tuck both elbows in and pivot he will
get an idea Of what the swing should
be. Flying elbows are dangerous. They
prevent the club from descending In the
same track It has taken In going up.
A straight left arm Is all right for the
golfer with a very fiat swing, but it Is
impossible for the upright swinger. The
elbow should bend little to permit
the club to take it's position over the
shoulder The full swing means a hori-
zontal position at the top. The club
points to the line of fight and the toe Of
the club points to the ground. The
weight when In this position Is mostly
on the right leg. The left heel is off
the ground. because the body has piv-
oted more or less on the right leg.
This Is one-half OF the golf swing
The pupil now has the club over the
shoulder all ready to start hitting. I
will explain the second half later

think any sensible golfer would
rather take chances on getting the
drive away properly than he would
on sinking his putt. A missed drive
might be costly indeed, while a
missed putt may not count for more
than one stroke.
The thrill that comes in hitting a
long tee shot has made golf the popu-
lar game that it Is. 1t may not be
advisable to spend all ones time
learning the wooden club shots, but
a certain amount Of attention should
be paid to this department of the
game, II for no other reason than to
give one confidence. A good drive
usually gives one reason to think that
the next shot will be a good one also
and a good shot is more likely to
follow than IL one hit a poor tee
shot. IBID
The fault with most buffers and be-
ginners is in attempting to hit the
ball too hard. A well-timed swing
with the force applied in the proper
manneI produces far better results
than II one slugged the ball for all
he was worth. This we all know as
pressing" A duffer presses with
out knowing how to hit the ball
properly. For instance, he will either
swing back so fast that all rhythm is
lost, or he will throw his body into
the swing before the clubhead has
connected with the ball These two
faults stop many an ambitious golfer
from advancing far in the game. To
succeed one must learn these i'm
