GUILFORD COPS BAY
STATE GOLF CROWN

NEWTON, Mass, July 19.-Jesse p
Guilford won the State amateur golf
championship for the third time in
eight years, defeating R H Gorton of
Braeburn, 9 up and s to play, in the
36-hole final round. Playing over his
home course, Guilford brought to his
club its eighth State championship.

have beaten any player in the world
For the % holes played he was under
IS In the morning round he was out
in 30 and back in 3S. Gorton was 81 to
the turn and played the last nine holes
in the same figures as his opponent,
being down at the halfway mark
In the afternoon, however, Guilford
was at his best, setting such a pace that
Gorton in the first nine holes won one.
halved two and lost six. Gorton was 2S
for the round and down at the end of
the 27 holes. The end came on the 2Sth
through the ability of Guilford to make
the green from the tee for a par 8.
while Gorton required after being well
short on his drive.
Guilford's record for the tournament
was impressive. He led the field in the
qualifying round with a total of IA
shots for the 36 holes, broke the course
record in his second round, and in match
play previous to the final erased all his
opponents before reaching the 18th
green.

The real reason that golf instruc-
tion too often fails for the average
business man golfer is because the
instruction concerns itself wholly
with the mechanics of the swing and
not at all with the rhythm. The pupil
watches the pro make a swing or
some segment of the swing, then imi-
tates. He manages to accomplish It
for the time being. but the moment
he goes it alone the fine points of
the so-called instruction are lost.
That is because the pHpil was not in
structed; he was merely shown how
TO initiate. Imitation is not instruc-
ton.
There are three very definite parts
to the golf swing. These are: The
mechanics, the sense of the swing
and the feel of the swing The
never are. The mechanics of the
swing are easy. 1t is the sense OF
the swing that yields the feel OF 1t
and the feel comes through rhythm
and in no other way.
This indicates that the learning
golfer should be taught one part of
the swing at a time, even If 1t is
but a very small part, and kept at
1t until he can actually do that one
thing. at the same time understand
ing thoroughly why he is doing IT.
1t indicates more than that 1t
really means that the several differ
ent parts of the swing must be prac-
tiCed, as parts, until the muscles in
volved become muscle -trained-until
they get that sense of their own
which comes only through practice.
The music teacher sets the pupil a
task at the keys and carefully ad-
vises how it must be practiced at
home until, when the pupil next
comes, the work can be done easily
and gracefully.

GOLF STARS TUNE UP
FOR WESTERN Event

CHICAGO, July 1s.-Scores Of star
golfers played over the links of the
Hinsdal Golf Club today in practice
for the Western amateur champion
ship, which starts with an 1S-hole
medal round Monday. The plays
ers-more than 150-are mostly
youngsters from the West and South,
including several State and sectional
champions, but at least two veteran
champions are listed to participate in
the persons of Chick Evans, who has
won the title eight times, and
Gardner, twice national amateur
champion.
national titleholder, is among the
contenders, as is E. f. Carter, for
merly champion of Ireland, and
Jack Wenzler of Memphis, Southern
champion.
Evans, by virtue of his title, does
not have to play in the qualifying
rounds.

The. golfer who has never shifted
his weight, for instance, at the be-
ginning of the back swing cannot
determine to do that, then do /:
when he next tees off. He can master
1t, however. by practicing it daily for
"a few weeks, until his muscles get
the feel of it,. With practice, he
will become so used to doing it that
to attempt a swing without shifting
over the weight would make him feel
awkward.
Mechanics of 1t Are Easy.
The mechanics of the swing. as l
mentioned before. are so easy be-
put them together after he under
stands what the different parts OF
the swing are. There are only four
parts--najor parts-and it is simple
to join them. These are properly
described as Back, Around, UP,
Down By that 1 mean the club is
taken straight back from the ball,
hands even with the shaft, then the
clubhead swings around, close to the
ground with the shoulders turning,
1t is thrown down to the ball and on
through it.
This enables the player to hit, be-
cause, through practice of the diff
ferent parts of the swing, he will be
able to join them with that flow of
muscular exertion that sums up as
rhythm-that is. he Will be able to do
it easily and gracefully, without con-
scious effort. He will be able to feel
the clubhead in his fingers through
out the whole swing, which is the
way the clubhead just be felt. Z
"Daiiy Fifty, Outlined.
To help golfers accomplish a rhyth-
mic swing 1 am glad to outline a
daily fifty" which they may practice.
! mean by this that each OF the four
parts should be practiced at least so
times a day. The player should be

Many Juvenile Golf Stars Busy Period Ahead for Racket iee,s


VERY golf book ever written
tells the golfer to use rhythm.
The pro watches you swing
and exclaims, Men, use some
rhythm!' You swing, and your club
pulls you off your feet, confirming
again your secret knowledge that
rhythm and your swing are stran-
gers, SO again you remind yourself
that you must use rhythm.
Golf is played by all kinds of peo-
pie nowadays, but the fact stands out
golfers. in the final nalysis-those
who have rhythm and those who
haven't.
Thus We bump square into one of
the most obstinate OF golf facts,
which is that rhythm cannot be just
used" whenever the player happens
to think of it, Rhythm is to the
swing what a soft summer breeze is
to shaded tee on an August after
noon. Rhythm is the thing that con-
ceals the art in the swing. Without
it you will never know what a good
golf swing really is. Not knowing it
you can never get the thrill of smash
ing club through ball with that easy
solid blow that yields for every mus
Gle in your body a SOFT of tickled
ISeiS: iiiI'ihS Inc Dali SO makes
your fingers ungle and your legs
vibrate, while the ball goes straight
and far-that's rhythm
If there is justified criticism of
present-day golf instruction methods
1t is that the average golfer is not
taught the knack of rhythm. Too
many golf teachers maintain that it
is not possible to teach rhythm They
hold that if the player hasn't got it
trying to teach 1T to him would be
about like trying to grow him a third
Any man who can whistle a tune can
be shown the way to rhythm in the
golf swing. The average golfer can
run with rhythm or walk. OF course,
he can swing his clubs with rhythm.
Any One Can Asquire It,
I have proved that even the most
awkward of beginning golfers, elder
ly men or business men with big
waist lines. and even those peculiar
new golfers who have not the least
aptitude for anything in the field of
athletics, could acquire rhythm, be-
cause ! have seen it slowly but surely
come to them and make their golf
swing easy. / have in mind at this
moment one of my pupils, a Chicago
Judge, who, past 20 years. has devel-
oped a splendid swing and a game
consistently in the sos. This same
man, because of his studious. indoor
life, had little natural bent, you may
be sure, for golf clubs. while he was
supposed to be a perfect example of
the so-called aged, stiff muscles
which would make the pivot impos-
sible." | might add that he pivots
perfectly since he does so in the
right way-without thinking about it.

Chesapeake Beach. Fishing off
this beach has shown marked i'm
proVement during the past two weeks
and some very good catches of hard
heads have been reported. Indeed,
capt. Noah Hazard of the fishing
fleet reports that the catches by
some of the patrons of his aII-ntght
cruises have indicated the best re-
suits for the season so far While
the largest percentage of the catches
has been hardheads of the best. solid
and most palatable variety, there
have been some fine trout and rock
fish among them.
DR.. Barstow was among the Wis
| itors the past week and landed a fine
lot of hardheads. In the party that
night there was a group of three
fishermen who caught together about
| forty fine ones
1t will be interesting to note Just
what effect the present cool snap
will have on the fishing. Opinion is
sudden shifts in the weather Will
| have on the fish, but many maintain
that the cooling temperature will
give zest to the appetite of the fish
| as well as sharpening enthusiasm OF
| the fishers.
The appearance of schools of por-
poises the past week does not seem
to have disturbed the fishing, and
there are some who have expressed
| the hope that the nets in the lower
bay might for once gather in the
disturbing factors to fishing while
they continue to minimize the
chances for getting a few more fish
| by the line.
