Hunter Keeps Only
Left Eye on Ball

1t is all very well and good for
you to adopt the slogan Keep
your eyes on the ball." but some of
the best Of them do not. Had you
watched Willie Hunter, former
British amateur champ and now
pro in California, play in the recent
open at Oakmont, you would have
seen. as l most certainly did. that
Willie CLUES but one eye on the
ball-the left. What he does with
the right may be a mystery, but
had you watched his driving you
would have agreed that at the top
of his swing, his right could not
well have seen the ball, for Hun
ter's head turns at the neck well to
the right as he goes back to get
set for his shot.
It's not a bad policy, by the way,
TO pick out the particular spot on
the ball you wish the club face
to smack Hunter does just this.
He keeps his left eye on that spot,
that eye telegraphs the message to
his muscles that il is the spot his
club face Is to smash, and his
muscles do the rest. He hits that
spot. It's in the middle of the ball,
lust below center. When he swings
into that spot with the face of his
wood the ball travels in the direc-
ton indicated by the arrow-on a
straight line for the hole and with
slight elevation. .-.----A-sik.
