Some Advice.

7 TALKED with = number OF stars
who will start on Friday in the
Los Angeles open about advice to av-
erage golfers. Here was the gist OF
the situation:
/. Most golfers keep their feet too
wide apart-and attempt to brace
themselves instead of taking an easy,
comfortable stance. They are all
tied up before they even start the
backswlng.
2. They don't let the left side come
around on the backsWing because they
are planted too firmly on the left foot.
There can be no sound swinging With
out letting the left side turn.
3. They don't use their left hand
and left arm in the right way on the
backswing. This is why they so often
Leave the left side behind.
I. They don't think enough in terms
Of smoothness on the backswing.
s. On chip shots and shorter pitches,
they don't play the ball far enough
back off the right foot-a much SIM
pier type of shot,
8. On Cnlp SnOIS, tuey sIdAu wv
far away from the ball, which should
be played close to the feet where they
can see and keep the right line. And
the feet here should be close together.
7. They think too much ahead of
the shot-in terms of results. and not
enough in terms of correct swinging,
which will take care of results. They
think ahead Of the ball-not back
Of it.
3. Their tight body action kills the
vse of their hands and wrists, which
are usually frozen. So they don't use
hands and wrists enough.
Q. They usually are in too much Of
Q hurry to hit from the top. They
should take more time on the back
swing and be sure it is finished be-
tore the downswing starts.

The Challenger.

THE main challenger this new year
will be Sammy Snead, the West
Virginia walloper. In the first place,
Snead is one of the longest hitters in
golf-practically neck and neck with
Blaster Jimmy Thomson. And Snead
has wiry, willowy body that responds
to his hand and wrist action. Also
he Is cool kid under fire.
Golf is many-sided game. The
siege guns have big edge in shooting
for the green with S. 6 or iron,
where other opponents need iron
or spoon. Sarazen says that golfer
who has to use more than iron for
his second shot on any except the
longer par S holes is at a heavy disad-
vantage. But It's amazing what put
ting stroke will do-a putting and a
chipping stroke that make up for
many yards lost on the longer shots
Lean and lanky Horton Smith is
one of the few who believe in a def
mite putting system.
I'm practicing around putting
green" he says. Il rarely try to hole
any puts or even putt for the cup.
! keep working on the right stroking
motion-which is smooth and unhur-
ried-yet firm. know If keep strok-
ing the ball the right way I'll hole my
share of puts.
"On the longer puts of 40 or so
feet, I keep my feet a trifle farther
apart and I try to keep little looser
In my stroking motion. AS I get
nearer the pin bring my feet closer
together and I get little firmer in
my hand and wrist action. But the
main idea is to develop and build up
the habit of smooth stroking
any jab or stab or hurried backswing.
Even if you hit the cup with the stab
bing type of stroke, the ball usually
pops out"

7 OS ANGELES, Jan. 5.-The pace
in golf gets faster and faster.
That is-for the few-not for
the multitude who, in the main,
seem to keep tied up in too many
knots.
The touring pros who lit the fuse
and set Florida courses on fire now
are lighting the torch for a Califor-
mia invasion. opening the 1888 cam
paign. Only those who can set and
hold dizzy pace have any chance
at the now historic Los Angeles open,
which Light Horse Harry Cooper won
. year ago with a record score.
Light Horse Harry led the field fer
a 1887 average around II or a shade
better. and he will be just as hard
to beat off this new campaign, even
with Sammy Snead, Horton Smith,
Ralph Guldahl. Henry Picard and
others stepping on his heels.
Harry Cooper, with rather fast.
compact. sound swing, is the straight
est shooter of the lot. He Is Dead
Eye Dick from the tee and through
the fairway-a good putter-but not
. great one.
And the ones to watch are those
putting phenoms on hot day-a Hor-
ton Smith or a Johnny Revolta-and
Guldahl is no second rater around the
cup.
