But it wasn't enough for Boston

Right Concentration
Is on Simple Side.

THE right sort of concentrate ton Is
on the simple side" Guldahl ram
bled on. The mistake is trying
to think of too many things. If you
have a good swing there isn't much
to think about, and most good pros
certainly can play any type of shot.
1t Is, OF course, different for the
duffer with so many faults in his
system-yet he, also, should limit
his area of concentration.
"I still say the main idea is to
make up your mind definitely in ad-
vance of the stroke. If you are
wrong you may still be better off
than still guessing through the
swing. Jim Barnes calls 1t thinking
of the right thing at the right time.
That's about all it Is.
ut Is quite easy to overconcen-
trate. 1t also is quite easy to have
too much imagination, especially
when you are playing a shot with
heavy trouble ahead. Forget that
part Of it. Play the shot for what
it's worth. Don't start thinking of
what might happen if you miss.
This has wrecked many good
looking score.
Now it is almost impossible to
keep up this concentration week
after week, month after month. You
get mentally worn down. So while
/ try in every tournament, I try to
save my main reserve of concentra-
ton for the more important tourna-
nnents. such as the round robin or
the United States Open
This matter of concentration is
why you see so many shifts in posi-
ton from one tournament to an
other. No one can keep at the peak
of concentration indefinitely. Just
try to concentrate on something for
minute some time-only a min
ute. See what happens.
