Some people think that when the

a matter of fact a sort OF broken
condition Is best. / have seen so
many golfers swing perfectly until
the clubhead has met the ball, and
then think that is all there is to
do. Don't quit there! Say to your.
self every once-in-a-whiie to hold
your hands just a little lower

put their club dignifiedly, silently

describing a good thought is 10
think of getting the weight of the
steel on the ball. 1t is much easier
to play q midiron than any other

one plays it he is so apt to lay
the blade over too much. In my
way of playing 1 believe most
strongly in saying to myself often
to keep the left hand lower.

habit of addressing my ball so that
the ball itself is about. off the toe
of my club face. This Is an indi,
vidual popularity. and ! think it IS
better to address the ball at the

amount of success in getting the

must know that he Is going 10

do It. A golf shot is no good
unless the clubhead hits against

OF primary Importance is the
care one takes In getting the right

an imaginary line beginning a few
inches behind the ball and passing
through 1t to the hold. Another
good thing to think Of when hit
