TARIFF PROBLEMS BEFORE SENATOR'S

Keep your shoulders up. 1t is
universal failing among golfers to
drop the left shoulder at some
point in the back swing. This
may be done early in the start
back or, the player detecting II
there and stopping it, will per-
haps begin dropping it near the
top of the back swing. The shoul-
der-dropping fault invariably de-
yelops in your left shoulder, but
when it drops, in the back swing,
the right shoulder drops cores
pondingly in the forward swing.
This makes your clubhead dig INTO
the ground all the time. The
cause of the left shoulder drop Is
that you are in too big hurry to
get your club back. You must
practice swinging it back leisurely,
with your shoulders up.
When you clubhead swings
through the ball you naturally
want all the sting on the ball you
can possibly put there. You want
that extra 25 yards off the tee:
YOU want irons that carry the full
measure of the clubs. The final
secret of the long. strag iht maxi
mum distance ball is found in
rolling Of the forearms forward as
your clubhead swings through the
ball You cannot roll your fore
arms if they are stiff and rigid as
you swing into the ball. They are
not wobbly loose. but just tight
enough to be under firm re-
straint-as if you were throwing
a stone or baseball. Then, too, the
rolling must take place through
the ball-never before you get to
the ball. Watch that point care
