Through the articles and pic.
lures I've managed to have print
ed in the leading magazines and

ing the head from turning seems
20 have gotten over to the golfng
public.
There is another point about
the head which Is just as import
ant and that u in relation to the
Level maintained throughout the
swing.
1he head should not be raised
or lowered until well after the
n42ent of impact
Few players are able to do this
because they place little or no
importance on this point When
the head is lowered during the
backswing or downswing the body
balance is Immediately upset.
Once this balance Is upset the
player is put on the defensive
and his swing becomes q crude
scramble to hit the ball.
Make a few swings before q
mirror and watch your head. II
your chin remains pointed direct
ly At the same spot and on the
same level throughout your swing

 Your luck will e'er depend on loOks," the farmer said. Here are some hooks and bobbers. Put them on the lines and see that they're tied tight.
 "If they are loose, all can say Is that your fish will ge away. We can't have that, because I want a big, long string by night"
