thus was unable to extend a per
sonal invitation to every member
of the Indian Spring Club to be
present.
Fundamentally, there was lit
tie difference in the swings of
the three golfers. VardOn was
little more upright, but this'is
probably due to his advanced
age, being over so years. He
also didn't keep his left arm as
straight as Jones or Wethered,
although well extended on the
back swing. Jones and Weth-
ered'S pivot was also greater
than VardOn'S.
The points that drew the most
observations were the absence of
hip slides on the back swing and
the position of the head and
shoulders on the down swing.
There was a slight hip thrust to
the left at the start of the down
swing, and this was little more
pronounced in Jones than Var
don and Miss Wethered.
