Tips From Demaret:
Pull Down With Left
BY VI. r. DRUKENBRoD

The percentage of those who can
become expert golfers is small.
Every one is agreed on that.
But. say, isn't there some gen.
eral hint that will help all golfers
to hit the ball more accurately
and farther-and score at least a
little better?
That question was fired at
Jimmy Demaret, Plum Hollow's
new pro- and right away he had
an answer.
Don't hit at the top of the
swing" the Ryder Cupper said.
"because IL you do the power IN
spent too soon and the hit be-
comes Intellectual"
Pull With Left
Yes, but that's negative. How
for instance, can one. delay the
hit?
Again Jimmy has an answer
and it's probably the correct one
after reaching the top Of the
back swing" he said, "have the
feeling you are pulling down
with the left arm. That will de-
lay the hit.
Continue that pull until
reaching the hitting zone, which
is from the waist down. Once
you have reached that point
give IL everything you've got
because you're safe then"
Jimmy offered this suggestion
because. as he explained, he be-
llieves the cemmeHest fault in geli
