national championships between early
May and late September, hopping

of its blade somewhere back of the

The somewhere" Is gagged by the
weight Of the sand and the distance
you must carry.
You do not hit the ball. Instead
you explode the sand. That rises
from the blade and in turn forces
the ball to rise. In short, the sand
forms sort of pad between face Of
club and ball. Consequently, the
ball flies without spin and tends TO
hold the green near where it drops.

Sand From Blade
Forces Ball to Rise
BY SOL METZGER.

Good golfers agree that none can
play an explosion with any degree
OF accuracy. While there is much
truth in this, it is well to remember
that star golfers invariably get out
and often UP within putting dts
lance.
The way to get that way is to
spend hours practicing. One then
eventually recognizes what resist
ance sand will offer in any given
situation. He hits accordingly. But
what the average player must know
are the principles involved in the
explosion, so they can at least get
their balls on the green.
The problem of the explosion Is

 Rather than pursue a policy not conforming to that of Washington. and regardless of whether such a difference might prevail without en- tailing serious embarrassment, the Mexican government, it has been pointed out, prefers to be in accord with the United States on interna- tional affairs.
