Important, what II does
Take the frst ten golfers you could
happen upon at any golf course and
the chances are every one Of them
would be guilty of the great mis-
take among golfers. This common
failing Is the tendency among players
to hit the bail hard. Trying SO hard
to deliver. a mighty. waliop against
any sense of rhythm. Without rhythm
there is not likely to be any good tim
ing.
Let us say that the eleventh player
we come upon hits fairly good shots.
He may not get the distance that
tournament players take, but he Is
straight and accurate. He times them.
He has learned the productive lesson,
which Is that the thing is to take 1t
easier with the swing and strive
more for timing.
That's the great secret II golfers
will only get into their heads the idea
that hard-swinging of the cIub-these
mighty struggles to hit the ball hard
do not accomplish anything On the
bali, they can change their golf over
night from duffer golf to good golf.
Striving for timing, the player will
forget about trying to hit so hard and
then the club will take Its natural
course, which is exactly what you
want II to do.
Timing Is the knack of making
everything meet at the oan"-that
is, you get the clubhead in there. with
the hands. at the instant the body

maximum force of movement toward

physical impossibility to reel him In
before you have played him out.
A local enthusiast telling of this
exciting sport last week said that
when one gets strike all fishing
seems to get strike at the same time.
Sometimes the fish makes wild dash
away from the boats and then turns
and comes directly back, making the
angler think for a short time that
he has lost his prize, but another
dash quickly makes him realize that
he has real fight on his hands to
get his fish to the boat and one that
requires every bit of skill he pos
sesses and also some strength.
In fact some of these fish have
been known to actually pull man
the entire length of the boat before
he gets a good foothold. When the
fish is finally played out and reeled
in near enough to place net under
him a big, square net especially pre-
pared is used for this purpose.
The smaller members of the rock
family can be found anywhere along
the favorite fishing places. namely,
Herring Bay, Chesapeake Beach, Deep
Cove, etc Usually for these fish the
angler uses the same methods en-
ployed for all other kinds of salt
water ish in this section of the coun-
try. His line is rugged up with one
or two hooks, and small cells, blood
worms and shrimp are used as bait
rockfsh in the bay. Capt. Ed. Gran
dali of the Herring Bay district pi-
loted L r. Wiswonger, w. C.
Brandes. W. F. Rem, B. T. Krom and
H. F. Chandler, all local anglers, one
day last week to his favorite fishing
grounds. where his party succeeded
in landing Sc fine rock. These fish
were caught by trolling and ranged
from two to five pounds in weight.
One of the members of the party
upon his return said, Capt. Crandall
sure knows where to get them"

effort for timing. The very effort
for better timing will take you in
consciously into the knack of hitting
at the right instant. You soon will
discover. to your constantly better
golf. that an easier-hit, well-timed
ball is far better than a mighty
swing with no timing. Timing
means from ten to twice that many
strokes off the round for the golfer
who has never concentrated on this
great factor of the golf swing.

pleting the first round OF their club
championship, while golfers OF the
Manor Club are also in the initial
round. The titular event of the Wash
ington Golf and Country Club will be
decided this week, when Walter r.

Wright is the present club champion.
McCallum reached the final by virtue
of 3 and victory over J. H. David

ago.
Washington Golf and Country Club
has about completed major improve
ments on the course in preparation
for the projected holding Of one of
the big sectional tournaments on the
Virginia course two or three years
hence. The biggest change, and one
which meets with general approval, is
a Encouragement of the approach shot
to the fifth green, which formerly was
entirely surrounded by traps. A mar
row passage way has been built up at
the right corner of the green to per-
nit the player with a long drive a
chip shot across the passage way in
stead of pitch across the short way
of the green as was formerly the
case. Preparations are in progress for
changing the character of the short
eleventh hole to a small degree, al
though the shot will remain the same
"a niblick pitch. A new tee has been
built at the thirteenth hole.
