as 1t meets the ball, shoot the left
hip right into it, on a straight line
that your right side does not cola pse
at the ball, and be careful to wait
with this left-hip Shoot until the
ciubhead has got to the ball. Keep
down.
C1ubhead Works Overtime.
That way of bringing the clubhead
down and right into the ball makes
the ciubhead work overtime.
The ciubhead, having shot through
the ball with such great velocity. it will
exert a distinct pull on your body
out on the end of it's sweep, and at
this time the left hip may turn some
to the left. This will be due to the
pull of the clubhead against the body,
however, and since the ball is gone,
no further influence is exerted on
the shot. 1t is best to check the
body so that the finish finds the left
hip straight out.

Advanced golfers could adopt the
Evans swing, though it would be
awkward at first. In his back swing
he presses forward slightly and then,
with a movement that starts with the
right hip, he shifts over to his right
leg and shoves the clubhead back
keeping it low at the start until his
arms reach straight out to the right
The club at this time is behind the
arms, being dragged back, and the
club face still is at direct right an
giles to the ball. The left wrist then

to miss the ball. The main point in
this swing is that when the left arm
is fully extended out from the body,
in the back swing, the left hand is
under the right hand. If you do not
let the left wrist break under the
shaft as the clubhead goes on back,
you will observe that the clubhead

line. principle-the left hip moves
straight forward into the line of di-
rection. This hip shoots into the ball
just as the clubhead meets the ball
and carries the weight of the body,
the punch, into the shot.
The great principle to be observed
here is that there is no conscious
circling movement of the hips. The
shoulders do the turning around. The
shoulders put the whip into the club
head-the steam. The hips move
back and forth on a straight line.
What pivot there is is all from the
waist up.

from golf instruction. 1t is a worn
out term. 1t has been associated
among golfers. with twisting the hips
for so long that l think it merely
robs the player of his opportunity
without 1t to get correct sense of
the swing. The straight line" prin-
ciple makes what pivot there is auto
matte, and the player is not confused
by thinking of how much or how
little he must twist and dstort him
self. In the straight line" idea he
accomplishes the pivot automatically.

like the straight line" principle
and the pull down''-and the rest of
it is by feel entirely.
1t is natural for the golfer to think
that, since his club head circles
around his body in an obIique plane,
his entire body should circle with it.
Expressed in simple terms, this gives
him the idea that as he takes the
club back he turns his whole body
around to the right. Again, as he
brings. the club forward, the natural
instinct is to turn the entire body
around to the left with the club
Golfers who do have this have an
incorrect sense of the sWing-or

Getting the Sense of the Swing Is Big Thing in Golf
Get
5000 Regularly

There really is no good reason why
| the average 110-12O businessman
golfer should not play 5000 golf as
| a regular thing.
When we turn this familiar bug
over in his golf rut and begin to
study him under the glass the in
Quiring mind turns inevitably to the
thought:
why is the, golf swing such a
struggle for him, and. why doesn't his
mind, which grasps immeasurably
bigger things, comprehend the ease,
the simpleness of the exertion of
knocking the innocent white pill
straight down the fairway?"
And that brings out what ! have
known for several years, which is
that learning golfers are so confused
from one cause or another, about the
simple golf swing that they never
get correct sense of 1t.
l maintain that any golfer, if he
has any adapGability for the game at
all. can step out this season and play
5000 golf if he gets a sense of the
swing.
"Swipg Is Everything.s
Let me begin by asserting again
that in golf the swing is everything.
Ihe golfer VINO has the swing can
use it anywhere-it always works
That brings us to what L shall call
the straight-line circle.
The straight line in that has to do
with the hips and the circle part of
It relates to the clubhead.
The correct sense of the golf swing
is wrapped up in these two factors.
i might say the very heart of the
swing narrows down to what I call
the "straight-line principle" for the
hips, since this is what makes the
clubhead do its circle. That is, get
the idea of this straight line" and
you will find your clubhead automati-
cally taking care of itself.
In this "straight-line" principle the
right hip shoves straight out to the
right during the back swing. r
should say il goes out there from
three TO possibly five inches-depend-
ing on your build. Be careful not to
eNaggerate it. No movement in the
