Watch out for the getaway or
take-off from the top. Here you
must by all means avoid hurry,
Do not start quickly, or jerkily.
QuickneSs and jerkiness result
from axiety to hit the ball. and for
that reason I want you to get this
smoothness at the take-off be-
cause you will make some Of the
old.timers in this sport look fool
ish. And you beginners can be
sure, too, that a lot of old-timers
in golf are reading these lessons
and starting all over againD Start
from the take-off so smoothly and
easily that there is no trace OF
rigidity or tightness in your
muscles. Practice that-just let
ting the club swing.
When you start your forward
swing you begin to get at the
reasons for some Of the funda-
mentals as parts Of the back
swing. For instance, muscular
freedom and physical ease in The
address and in the early stages or
the back swing, mean the same
freedom and ease at the top and
in the take-off forward.
At the point where the club Is
about half way down-not exactly,
but approximately there-you can
accelerate it's action by swinging
it right on through-let It's pace
increase all it can. Actually, you
add to 1t slightly-not a great deal
now. Do not lunge at it. Do not
ride" it with all the power you
have. Just let 'er go, and whip it
as you would crack a whip. Try
that-it's easy.

the outstanding threat.
While the odds, on the surface,
would rest unreservedly with the
light blue and white, Elmer Har-
