There la such a thing as bceiiining ho accuatoincd to the feel of the clnbface on the bull that It be- (< ines aecond nature to watch the position < f the clnbhead. Willi the left hand under on the back halt ot the swing, diaw the < lub back even with the hnnds along the ground on the dlrecth it line for a uhort distance. \ou -init this motion by keeping back of the imaginary vertical line. Then lift It with a backward, outward, upward, slightly curving swing until the left arm Is almost stiuiglit and you can feel the eluhhead pull the left arm Rocket at the back. Break the wrists equally at the top, bring the club down tracing tlie ascending line, clultltead leading, hand < and clnbhead describing smoothly the ate of an inner and outer circle. In the wind the circle becomes an tlipse Hit into the piece of the imaginary direction line at the ball

and hit the ball up into the air. Let the wrists dip blade tuw'ard right shoulder on end of buck stroke and be sure to lilt! The left shoulder is inclined to come around t<s> much, so hold It a little. It Is n mistake to hit your shoulder on the backatroke. Ito sure not to let the hands get too far buck, and don't let the weight of the body drop forward as the club swings back, lit tnldlron shots It Is wise to stand u little stiulghter In order to get the Item flight. Whatever y< u do. don't zig-zag tlie course of your clul>head throughout a stroke. If you are having difficulty, swing easier for a while. Wait for that solid contact of lite clubhead and hall before putting most of your strength Into the shot, and be assured that patience has its reward in golf as in everything else. (Copyright John F.
