Tips For Better Golf —- By Pro Don Byrd , Wawasee Golf Course
Putting is probably the most individualistic and most controversial phase of the game of golf. In this department you will find more different theories and variations than any other phase of the game. In the other departments of the game of golf there are basic fundamentals common and consistant to all the world’s finest players, but in putting the world’s ’ finest putters vary a great deal in methods and procedures. In the following I will touch upon some points which are most common among good putters. First of all you must have z a putter that fits you comfortably regarding—length, weight, lie, grip, and face alignment. The best way to arrive at this is to try several putters at the same putting session so you can get an accurate comparison. The proper face, alignment can be determined by finding which eye is the dominant or master eye. There are several ways of finding this, and the following seems to be as simple as any. Place a coin on the floor, then take a sheet of paper and punch a hole in it with a pencil, then look through the hole at the coin with both eyes open, holding the paper at arms’ length, then alternate closing each eye. The eye that sees the coin is the master eye. Your master eye should be directly over the putter face, or at a right angle to your line of putt. So if your left eye is your master eye you should select a straight necked putter, and conversely, if your right eye is your master eye you should select a gooseneck hr offset putter. The reverse overlap grip is the most widely recognized and used putting grip. This grip requires you to overlap your right little finger with .your left forefinger. I - prefer this grip because it sets your hands in position square to the hole—the back of the left hand faces the hole as does the palm of the right hand. This grip gives you a finger and palm hold in the left hand which is 'a firm hold on the club, and in turn allows you to hold the putter in the fingers of the right hand which' gives you the feel or touch which is all important in thej control of 1 distance. In short —left hand for control of clubface and right hand for feel or tpuch. < In putting you should be very relaxed and the proper stance helps do just this. Your feet should be placed ariart far enough to support Jtmnyweight evenly and comfortably so you are under no? strain. At all times you must keep your head steady and restrict body movement. You must keep the put-

Enchanted Hills Play Os Week KtHE MOON IS BLUE” BRie Enchanted Hills Playhouse opened this summer’s season of > staged entertainment Tuesday eve- , ning, June 25, with a delightful presentation of "The Moon Is ; Blue.” A humorous deposition of morality and its sometimes opposing ; factors is very well dramatized > with tremendous acting by Jon Baisch and newcomers to the playhouse, Linda Griffin, John Aspinali 1 and James Maloon. 1 The first act introduces the au--1 dience to Patty O’Neill as portray--1 ed by Miss Griffin. She is an engaging and unsolphisticated dar--1 ling of a girl to be loved through- ’ out. every minute of the comedy. The plot, involving some extremely moral and other extremely immoral fathers and their daugn- ' ters of similar qualities, is one of ; corking humor, paternal devotion and also paternal neglect. Romance, curosity and that wonderful gift of natural innocence are j also seen throughout the produc- > tion. ‘ The cast, moving at a comforta--5 ble pace, grasps and holds the con- ‘ centration of the audience from the start until the play ends.
