Not only Is the matter of distance
a question of the correct weight of
club, but the matter ct direction is
also largely dependent on This.
If club is too heavy the player
will drag it around. and will be
unable to get the clubhead through
in time to make it meet the ball
squarely. And hitting the ball
straight depends on doing just this.
If the player mas the advice of a
competent instructor in the selection
of his clubs, he can avoid any trou-

he will find it profitable to have some
one who is capable to advise, check

It Is quite Impossible to say to-
any man that he shorId use a club
Of certain length OF weight without
knowing something of his physical

know some very short players who
use exceptionally long clubs; some
big men who play with very light
ones, and also some men who also
use very light clubs.
For instance, Cyril Walker, who
weighs scarcely 125 pounds and Bob
Macdonald, a two-hundred FOUNDER
both use light clubs, and both are
good long drivers. And the late
Benny Sayers, no more than five
feet, six inches, used long clubs.
