For long time the ball couldn't
be found, but finally it was discovered
in the coat pocket of an Indian caddy.
The youth stoutly insisted that he
was not responsible for its being
there. He said that after Travers
drove he had felt something hit his
side, but thought some one in the
his sincerity suspicious that he might
have picked up the ball were aban-
doned and the conclusion was reached
that it had been driven into his
pocket.
There was nothing for Jerry to do
but drop his ball and play it, but
the penalty for SO doing. If l re-

EVERYTHING that has ever been

written about golf and all the
pointers that have ever been
spoken on the playing of the game
can be compressed into these two
| words:
Be natural.
There are various ways of learning
| to play this most charming of the
| sports, including the method of try
| ing everything under the sun, with
out any competent instruction, for
some ten years or so, but of one thing
you may be sure. and can adopt here
and now as a fixed rule. and that is.
! any golf method that obviously con-
tradicts the natural, instructive man.
ner of swinging the clubs is wrong.
The reason the expert player accom-
plishes his shots seemingly with so
little effort is because he has learned
how to let his clubs take their nat
ural course backward and then for
ward through the ball He knows
1t is easy to do it, being able to do
1T himself, and the chances are he
looks at your struggling efforts and
wonders how long it will take you to
get onto the fact that the perfectly
natural method is the simple way.
There is a sort of hypnotic inf1u-
ence on the player the mQment he

sets his teeth, rears back with the
stick-and then digs the clubhead
into the ground. 1t never dawns on
him that the clubhead digging into
the ground back of the ball is the
obvious, natural result of the eXer-
ton he has gone through. 1t could
hardly be otherwise. because the
muscles have a sense of their own
and at a certain point they act out
side the players own consciousness.
When the muscles make the club
head jab into the ground because of
the rigidity that has been accumu-
lated in them. they are, acting ma
turally of their own accord.
The player who acts thus with a
golf club might do himself a world
of good if he would compare his eX-
ertions with his own act, let US say,
of tossing a stone across the street.
He could do that with the utmost
ease. He could do it almost with no
sense of physical exertion. Then. if
he wished to throw the stone as far
as ten times the distance across the
street, he would naturally and in
