By Charles (Chick) Evans, Jr.

The clubhead must be snapped
through the ball, IL you want a long
straight, arrowy flight.
You should have a sense Of the
feeling Of having hit the ball and
then follow through, being careful
not to hold on to the ball too long,
The hands, as a matter of fact, stop
for an instant as the clubhead gets
the proper feeling Of hitting and
then they continue in a nice smooth
arc into the follow through.

In order to get away from the

Farrell, Sarazen, Hagen, Golden

Of proper balance down to a science.
Watch them in a match. Watch
the action Of their bodies, and you
will soon discover why you can not
play good game of golf.
OF course you will say they are
professionals, but you can't get
away from the fact they all had
to start. They studied the game
and mastered it.
You can do the saHs1e, II you
will concentrate on proper bal
ance during the backswing, at
the top Of the swing and after
the ball has been sent on its
flight.
The sway to the right is a serious
error and so Is the sway forward.
Neither of the above mentioned
players are guilty Of this offense.
They simply "stay there" through.

finish, gracefully, as shown In the

In making the turn, or pivot, not
one OF this group, pictured, takes
up more space than he had while
addressing the ball. They do not
throw their weight on the right leg.
They stand fairly comfortably and
erect and see that their heels carry
their share Of weight with the balls
Of the feet.
With this firm footing they
start the back swing, and on
the down swing they are in. a
position to deliver q powerful
blow. They finish with
smooth and graceful follow
through.
Leo Deigel, sometimes called "the
flying putt champ is said to have
an awkward stance while putting,
but on a putting green he is ever
sure Of his balance before making
the putt.
The thing to remember in the
stance, then, is to have your
weight adjusted. Start with a feel
Of balance.
Not one golfer in ten has the
correct. balance at any part of
the swing. They are In trouble
before they start the club away
from the ball.
