MRS. VARE’S PUTTING METHODS

FORMERLY a comparatively weak putter, Glenna Collett Vare has lately strengthened this position of her game noticeably. The reason--a slow but smooth backswing with the eyes fixed earnestly on the ball. This keeping the eyes on the ball, the head still and making sure that the clubhead strokes it firmly and accurately while at right angles to the direction line has apparently suited her case admirably. Mrs. Vare gauges the distance to the hole carefully, taking due consideration of the varying slopes. Her policy is one of ‘safety first,’ being careful not to putt too hard. She attempts to determine the direction by some point in direct path to the hole and putting over this spot. The stroke is just hard enough to get the ball up to the hole, making sure that if the ball does not drop it will at least stop within a foot radus of the cup. ©, 1938, Bell Syndicate--WNU Service.
