Inside Golf
BY Chester Horton

Any average golfer knows what
the exercise is that calls upon him
TO lower FIRST HIS left shoulder and
then reversing, lower the right
one. He faces n fixed Object-sny
dOor-and then executes this
shoulder dip.
The start of the golf swing is the
same thing. The troubles that
golfers get into result from the
fact TINT they start TO turn the
body to the right too soon. I know
that many pros. teach TINT the body
moves Immediately TO the right.
but 1 don't teach it. The body
holds its position facing toward
the ball until the left arm begins
to pull at the shoulder. The pivot
begins at that pOint-and the rest
Is easy.
