Tales of a Wayside Tee
by CRANTLAND RICE

the weight to the right foot on thu
back swing and then letting every.
thing come forward IN one smooth mo-
ton ON the down swing, II you study
slow motion pictures Of good golfers
you will see that at the start of the
down swing the left heel drops and the
left leg Is then ready to support the
swing and to keep the body In place.
The down swing practically starts by
dropping the left heel naturally. 1t is
the FIRST motion that takes place. This
prevents throwing the body forward
ahead of hands and arms. If any one
can work out this matter Of weight dis
tribiition - absolutely esssntial-which
means on the right foot at the top OF
the swing and left foot as the down
swing gets under way-and, in addi-
ton, can then keep his chin pointing
back OF the ball--he or she will have a
first-class golf swing, no matter what
other faults may come UP. There Is
not single first-c1ass golfer who hasn't
these two qualities In his swing. No
one can hit golf ball correctly with
the chin moving along the line OF fight
He must hit past the chin. for If the
chin Is moving in the direction Of the
swing almost everything else will 90
wrong II one hits a good shot under
these conditions, it will be raw acei-
dent.
Theories are one thing and pfin-
cipies are another. No one can get
away from vital fundamentals. no
matter what the age, weight or build.
And not one golfer In hundred
thousand knows what the vital
/. fundamentals are.
If you talk to the average golfer
about distribution of weight, which
means balance, he probably will tell
you it is lot of bunk. But unless he
gets his weight to the right foot on
the back swing and has the left leg
and foot ready to support the down
swing. with his chin pointing back Of

or practically so. They have proved
this--in o fashion, two weighing
scales, where the foot weight is regi-
stored as the top of the swing is reached.
yet this method is hardly sound enough
to prove any scientific point. There IS,
undoubtedly, pressure from the left foot
as the weight moves over to the right,
and this pressure, coming quickly, would
register upon the scales.
This matter Of measuring the COM
parative weight through scales means
nothing at ALL III the scales show
that the weight IL evenly distributed

ance Is all wrong.
For the correct golf swing. based upon
scientific principles. most of the weight
at the top of the swing has to be on
the right foot and the right leg. 1t is
almost exactly the weight distribution
pitcher uses in throwing a ball, where
he turns his body and lifts his left foot
from the ground In this case his
weight is entirely on the right leg as
he completes the backward motion of
hand and arm. In the golf swing there
is just a touch OF weight on the left
foot at the top OF the swing. but most
of the weight is on the right foot.
The great trouble IN golf-at least
one Of its troubies--is that most golfers
try to pivot too much weight on the
left foot. This means that in the
down swing the weight is coming back
to the right foot, which is exactly
where it should not be. A slight sway
is not only not harmful. but 1t is abb
solutely necessary. Golfers for years
have been told not to sway. If they
don't, they will never get the weight
where 1t ought to be. The true OF
correct golf swing consists In getting

A New Golf Far.

A New Golf Far.
PPARENTLY the time has come
~ to set up new type of par in
Il golf. This par has nothing to
4 u do with the length of d hole or
the score that Is made. 1t goes
even deeper into the ancient game.
Here is just one example. A few days
ago a keen golfer explained at much
length a phenomenon that had come
to him on the sixteenth hole, where
certain unusual details had taken place.
/ listened with at least show of pa
thence. Before I could offer anything
in rebuttai he had presented another
bizarre happening on the ninth hole
where, after missing two shots. he had
holed out from bunker to win hole
with a birdie thought / was all
ready for him this time with remark
able happening that had occurred to
me on the eleventh hole. But I wasn't
fast enough. He dug up another in
eident concerning long brassie shot
that hit the flag and bounded back a
foot from the cup. I suddenly realized
that was down.
At the next start 1 made up my
mind TO break through and tell my
stors-the shanked mashie and the
40-fO0t putt at the eighth hole. 1
had even made some Roadway when
he broke into the middle Of my
speech with his fourth episode.
picked up and surrendered.
It seems to me there should be some
form of par established along this line.
One story at time should be par and
any one relating more than one in
cident before the other fellow has a
chance should be automatically dis
qualified.
Hard to Enforce.
Whether any such rule or regulation
could be enforced is doubtful When
the average golfer starts. to tell you
about what happened to him on the
eleventh hole it will take more than a
rule or machine gun or trench
mortar to stop him. And this goes for
golf story.
Only a short while back a friend
asked If he had ever told me the story
about the So-anG-so and the So-and-
So at st. Andrews. Yes" said,

already was in his eye and he went
