BY BOBBY JONES.

TN this article want to carry on a
bit further the idea I recently ex-
pressed--that what the average
golfer needs more than finely spun
theories is something that will give
him clearer conception OF what he
should try to do with the clubhead.
The golf swing is a set or series OF
movements which must be closely CORE
lated. The minutest change Of one
makes a difference in one or more of
the others, and while for consistent.
high-class performance there can be
only a very small de alton in any par
ttcular, it still is a fact, and always
viii be so, that there are more ways
than one to swing a golf club correctly.
I do not intend to argue against the
development of good sound style. But
I do believe that this stvle should be
developed with due regard for the re-
quirements and preferences of the in
dividual and I think also that before
a player should begin to worry about
the finer points of form, he should play
enough to know what his preferences
are.
When we speak Of sound style" or
Of good form" We mean nothing more
than that the poSSeSsor OF either has
Simplitied his swing TO the point where
errors are less likely TO creep in, and
he is able consistently to bring his club
against the ball in the correct hitting
position. We talk, think and write 50
much about the details OF the stroke

Sound Style Not Necessary
For Telling Shots on Golf
Course, Bobby Jones Ayers

that we sometimes lose sight Of the
thing which is all mportant-hitting
the ball.
1t is conceivable that a person could
perform all sorts OF contortions and
yet bring the club into correct rela-
ton to the ball at impact, in which case
a good shot must result The only
purpose Of discussing style and form at
all is TO make 1t easier for the player
to maintain this correct relation. In
a crude way he might do 1t only oc-
caStOnally; in a finished sound. stylish
way he will be able to do il consistently
and with assurance.
I found the ultra-Slow motion pic
lures made by the p c.. A. very in
teresting There is shown in them one
point of comparison of the methods
Of Vardon and myself which demon
strates how one motion or position de-
ponds upon another, and how, after all,
it is only the contact between club and
ball which matters. The pictures show
that at the instant of impact Va-oon's
hands are preceptibly behind the ball.
and that he has whipped the clubhead
forward to make contact, whereas at
the corresponding instant in my ewing
the hands are slightly in front of the
ball and the clubhead Is being pulled
through.
Years Of play and experience has
told each of us that We must handle
the club in this way III order TO bring
the clubface into the correct position,
and while We may be thinking of some
other part of the stroke subconscious-
~, through our sense Of touch We bring
the clubhesd around in the way we
have learned produces good shot. The
reason for this difference is found in
the slightly different positions of our
hands on the club, my left hand being
slightly more on top of the shaft than
Vardon's. II either should meet the
ball the same way as the other, a bad
shot must inevitably result.
This is the sense which every golfer
must develop The beginner ought to
keep always before him the determine
ton TO put the club against the bail
in the correct position. 1t is not easy
when form Is lacking. but It is the
surest way to make form easy tc ac-
Quire. The expert player corrects sub
consciously. Some instantaneous tele-
graphic system tells him just as he
begins to hit that something is wrong,
and just at the last instant a muscle
moves to set it right. The muscle
doesn't always function perfectly, but
it does so in a sufficient number Of
cases to be well worth its keep.

M championship scheduled to

, N
M championship scheduled to
" v be played at the Manor Club
on September 2, only three
weeks hence, a glance over the field
of potential entries discloses no such
large number of junior stars for the
forthcoming tourney for the Mackenzie
trophy as there were five or six years
ago. Which prompts the question: Is
washington tagging behind in the OUT
put of young golf stars?
Gene Larkin and Bob Barnett Of
Chevy Chase think the Capital is far
behind some other cities in its crop Of
younger golf stars. They hold that
the main reason Washington does not
produce many youngsters who figure
IN the large tournaments and become
outstanding golfers when they reach
mature age is because the material
from the caddie ranks around Wash
ington is limited Their argument has
a sound basis in fact, too, for of the
caddies around Washington, what pro-
portion would you think are white
boys who would have a chance to go
anywhere in big tournaments?
THE junior championship OF Wash
l. iSgton is held at present by Russell
Bowen of Argyle. Now young Bowen
Is a good golfer. He demonstrated that
fact in the tourney held last year at
the Washington Golf and Country Club,
but he is not good enough to go far
in the major events in which he has
entered. The situation with regard to
junior golf around the Capital is FAR
different nowadays from that of several
years back Not so long ago there were
in the junior ranks such coming young
stars as John c. Shorey Page Hufty,
Harry Pitt, Karl F. Kellerman, Roland
Mackenzie and one or two others. And
the big part Of their success as young
sters was the fact that they also at
the age Of 16 or II, were able to hold
their own in the major tournaments
for seniors, too. But these days the
juniors are under an eclipse. To be
sure one or two of them are capable
of going somewhere in top notch golf
about Washington, but even these are
nearing the age when they no longer
will be juniors. Such lads as Monro
Hunter, Tommy Bones and Jack Powell
will not be juniors much longer.
Among the juniors who will be eligible
for the junior championship for sew
eral years yet. the Manor Club has two
of the outstanding youngsters. These

Pointers on Golf
BY SOL MFTZCER,

The real purpose OF the pivot Is to
increase the arc Of the swing of the
clubhead. Thus greater clubhead
speed is obtained when striking the
ball than If no pivot were used. The
rub with the pivot Is that it must
coordinate with the down swing of
the arms, else correct timing is lost.
A common point among long
drivers is that their hips slide for
ward and to the left as the clubhead
Is swung down. This places their
