Some Workable Tips Given
Of How TO Cure FouIts

These are all working or workable
tips that require only a small al
lotment of concentration or interest
The main idea is to cure certain
fixed faults.
l. Don't try to steer the ball. Trust
the best swing you have, regardless
to hazards and let it operate.
2. Take comfortable stance,
watch the pace of your backswing
and the pace of your downswing
Don't hurry either.
3. Keep your mind on the ball
and your eye will stay there. Don't
think ahead of the shot.
A. Think of the swing itself-and
not the result
5. Stand closer to the ball. This
goes for every shot. The less con-
fidence a golfer has, the farther
away he plants his feet. Never feel
that you have to reach for any shot.
s. The left hand and left wrist
always must be firm to keep control
Don't let the strong hand. hitting
forward, overpoWer the left. For
right-handers only, but vice versa
for leftiesD
7. Let the left side turn about 40
per cent more than it now does.

Wood, Smith Offer Advice
On PUTTING Essentials

Is. From Craig Wood and Horton
Smith 1.-TWO of our best putters)-
Good putting consists of four de-

(bp To get the right line. Co To
judge the speed of the green. (d) To
be sure to stroke the ball. And
proper Stroking doesn't mean jab,
stab or punch. 1t means smooth
ness"
Is. As far as possible relax feet,
legs, body, arms and hands. Joe
Kirkwood said: Golf would be a
simple, easy game for everybody if
1t weren't for tension. The average
golfer is always frightened up"
II. Trun the game into fun-in
place of misery. Hartley Manners,
a playwright-a architect, who wrote
Peg O. My Heart" gave me the big
answer. Golf" he said, "is my
favorite game. although after 81
years I've never yet had single

Hope springs eternal in the golf
Ing breast, only to wither and die

1t is about this time of the season
when some 95 per cent of all golfers
from the two million or more who
play suddenly discover their dream
hasn't come true, and they still are
turning in the same old moth-eaten
scores from 80 up.
They lack the time, the money or
the application to dig up a good pro,
who could give him the chance to
iron out their kinks. So they con-
tinue to struggle in the enveloping
darkness of absent form.
Even among those who are star

the appeal of golf leads the list

multitude of golfers who still are
