5fAheE
FOR WOOD
BY SOL METZGER.

BY SOL METZGER.
Johnny Farrell was not always a
champion. Bobby Jones did not al
ways play par golf hole upon hole.
Hagen was once quite a dub and
Abe Mitchell missed the first ball he
ever tried to drive. In short, sterling
golf is not a gift. Outstanding
players have been developed from the
raw. Most of the good ones have
made themselves what they are to-
day. Bobby Jones Is no exception.
Jones had his own troubles with
his wooden shots and his puts. Even
in 1923, when he won his first open
title at Inwood, his wood showed a
tendency to smother and hook.
What was the rub? Jones set about
locating the trouble. He discovered
that he was hitting his ball off the
tee on the downswing-as many
stars debut that this hitting down
was sometimes leading him into
smothering the shot.
Once he saw what was going on
quick adjustment occurred. He
was playing his ball with his body
too far advanced. In other words,
Bobby teed it a few inches back of
a line off his left foot.
