LESSONS IN GOLF BY ALEX SMITH ; LESSON III. OFF THE TEE AND THROUGH THE GREEN Now we are on the teeing ground and ready for business. I don't mean, of course, that we shall start in at once to play matches. That sort of thing is bad practice, or rather no practice at all, and our aim should rather be to learn something about the different strokes that make up the actual game. The full drive is naturally our point of departure. There are people who affect to sneer at long driving, and who will tell you that the real science of golf lies altogether in the approaching and putting. It is quite true that no one can win many matches unless he plays the short game well, but good driving makes the approaching and putting easier; I need not enlarge upon a truism so obvious. Again, driving is said to be the easiest department of the game. So it is when you learn how. Rut unless you start doing the right thing you may foozle along for years un- numbered, ever searching for the magic secret and never finding it. I don't know of a harder or more hopeless task than that of the bungler who habitually misplays all his full shots. A top, a slice, a clean miss—what vexation of soul is not summed up in these simple words! There are siime duffers who, by virtue of perseverance and a naturally good eye, manage to evolve what they call their drive. They may even achieve a kind of steadiness, but it is invariably at

the expense of length. And distance does count, no matter how expert you may be on the putting green. Moreover, full free driving off the tee and through the green is one of the most pleasurable sensations of the game; indeed,

•

SIDE VIEW OF STANCE there are few things in the world that can compare with the joy that animates the golfer's heart when lie has just got off a clean bow-shaped raker straight down the course. \\ ithoUt good driving there is no golf. LESSONS IN GOLF 327

Let me briefly recapitulate the essentials of a correct swing. A comfortable distance from the ball; right foot slightly advanced; knees and elbows a little bent; body kept vertical, and head steady; left hand over the grip and right hand under; the club taken back by the ringers of the right hand; right elbow swinging round close to the body ; wrists turning inward and then bent sharply back to bring the club to the horizontal behind the neck ; the body turning from the hips with the left knee knuckling in towards its fellow ; left heel slightly raised so as to ease the body around; the wrists flung down to start the downward swing, with the right hand in control; arms and body following; the right wrist putting in the power and turning slightly over at the

SHOWING HOW WRIST ACTION IS PUT IX AT TOP OF SWIXG moment of impact; the left arm keeping close to the body until taken out by the club ; the swing finishing with a full sweep around the left shoulder; body turning to full front with the right knee knuckling into the left one and the right heel dear of the ground—that is the golfing swing so far as words may depict it. Most of these directions I have already commented upon; there are one or two upon which 1 should like to add a wi ml. As the dub swings up, 1 told you that the wrists must turn inward and then bend sharply hack. Now, the common and easy and incorrect way of getting the club behind the r

neck is to bend the elbows and pull in the hands. If you do this you will invariably swing too far with your shoulders, and the swing will lack both power and accuracy. So keep the left elbow fairly extended and get the club around by

bending back the wrists. You will thus set the trigger for what I elsewhere call the "throw of the club" the turn over of the right wrist at the moment of striking the ball. LESSONS IN GOLF 329

I wish that you could see me drive a ball, for then it would be a much simpler thing to explain my management of the right forearm and wrist. My normal drive is rather low, rising very gradually from the tee. Its direction is to the right of the centre of the course, but during the last portion of its flight it begins to curve in a little and falls straight in line. In other words, it is a ball with just a touch of pull, i. c, a curve to the left. Under all ordinary circumstances this is the ball that I always try to get, and for the following reasons: In the first place, a pulled ball, by virtue of its over-spin, has a much longer run than any other, a manifest advantage. Secondly, a pulled ball is the direct opposite of a sliced one, and every golfer knows that a slice invariably means trouble, if it is only loss of distance. Now, the man who normally tries for a perfectly straight ball is apt to drive a little higher than is good for distance, especially against the wind, and the slightest drawing in of the hands turns the straight ball into a sliced one, by which is meant curving to the right of the true line. If a man invariably plays for a pull, he may not always get it, but he will, at least, save himself from slicing. If the pull does not come off, the ball either goes perfectly straight, or comes to rest a little to the right of the middle of the course. There is still a respectable distance gained, and the ball is seldom off the fair green. In other words, slicing is the worst of golfing faults, and the one to be avoided most sedulously. The books enter into learned theories upon the causes of slicing and how to cure it. I prefer to play for a pull, and so avoid its possibility altogether. Once acquired, the pulled ball is even easier to control than a straight one, and, as I have said, it is the longest one that can be driven. (July once in a blue moon will a golfer need to slice a ball intentionally, and while it is a very scientific and pretty play, it is better to eschew such niceties until one is very sure of his ability to control his swing. Scientific slicing depends largely upon drawing in the arms, as the club comes down, so as to put a cut on the ball. Xow, this drawing in of the arms is a fatally natural movement, and it is unwise to encourage the tendency. Playing, then, as I do, for a pull, I stand with the right foot slightly advanced, the ball nearer my left foot than my right, the right hand gripping under the shaft, and the right wrist turning quickly over as the ball is struck. These are the conditions upon which all authorities agree as con- ducive to the pulled shot, and, as I have said, it is my normal method of play. 330 LESSOXS IN GOLF

I acknowledge that I am what is called a right-handed player, but I am so deliberately, and because I believe that it yields me the best results. The left arm, according to my theory, merely assists in the guiding of the club. It

does not start the stroke by pulling the club down, still less does it take command of the stroke at any time. 1 am not conscious of relaxing my grip at either the top or the

\ '

LESSONS IN GOLF 331

finish of the swing. I grip with both hands firmly from beginning to end, and I consider that distance depends, in large measure, upon the way the wrists, and especially the

elevate the ball sufficiently to let the club head meet it squarely. It is not easier, but more difficult to hit cleanly when the ball is perched up at an unnatural distance from the ground, and the effect is to spoil your playing through the green. lie sure that you begin the downward swing with the down fling of the wrists, and start easily ; the force is to be put in just before the club head swings onto the ball. If you put in all your power at the top, the swing degenerates into a jerky chop and the major part of the force is wasted. Let your arms, shoulders, and body follow the wrists in the order named. If the body gets in advance of the hands, you will come down on the ball at an angle which means loss of distance, and probably a straight poke off to the right, or a slice. It is the same principle upon which the baseball batsman, who, striking just an instant too late, sends the ball to right field. ( Distinguish carefully between these straightforward pokes to right or left, and the slice and pull. The former are the result of bad timing, or an incorrect stance; the latter are due to spin put upon the ball. In both pull and slice the ball starts off in a fairly straight line down the course, and the curve only comes in during the latter part of the flight.) Now, when the body comes properly into the stroke, the stance, at the moment of striking, will be precisely the same as that of the original address. • In the play through the green I use the driver, or play club, as it would be called, whenever the lie is at all good. Why not ? The fact that the brassey face is laid back means that the ball is lofted higher in the air and, above a certain elevation, loss of distance is the result. So don't use your brassey unless the lie is heavy or you want a shot

short of your full range. The low ball with a pull is the • effective one for distance gaining, and, if you find you are driving or brasseying too high, it is not a bad plan to turn the nose of the club slightly over. I play all full shots with cleek or driving iron just as I do my wooden clubs. The only difference, that I know of, is that with a wooden club the shaft at the very top of the swing falls into the web between the thumb and fore- finger of the right hand. As the "throw of the club" begins, the shaft goes back into its original position, i. c, into the finger grip. With iron clubs I hold the club in one position throughout, swinging a trifle shorter. 1 prefer to play all full shots to the value of the club. In other words, 1 take a full shot with an iron rather than a half shot with a cleek. LESSONS IN GOLF 335

The so-called push shot is a most useful one to learn. You lose a little in distance, but it is the only way of dealing with a bad lie. The ball flies on a low trajectory, has but little roll,

334 NOTES FROM THE SOUTH

drive the ball into the ground. The club head first hits the ball, and then goes into the earth, cutting out a bit of turf immediately in front of the ball, never behind it. If you take the turf before the ball is struck the shot will be a failure. The right wrist turns over at the moment of impact, and you must be sure to carry the hands through and not hold back the left arm as in the regular swing. The chief difference between the push shot and the ordinary one is that the hands and left shoulder go through after the ball instead of swinging around. The push is a shot that may be played with any club. The ball should be a trifle nearer the right foot. With the mastery of these two strokes the golfer should be able to play the long game respectably. There are what are called hanging lies, where the ball lies on a downward slope, and again the stance may be above or below the level of the ball. These variations from the normal make the play more difficult, but I will not complicate it still further by giving you elaborate differences of detail in the swing. There is just one golden rule for all these contingencies, swing easily and take the ball clean. I To be Continued)

\ NOTES FROM THE SOUTH 335

This new Atlanta course is calcu- lated to cause the duffers some wor- riment and to extend the best players to their "outside limit." Every hole on the course is protected by at least one hazard, and several by a half dozen. The lake drive at the second hole, the approach to the fourth hole. the "ravine drive" on the ninth, the approach onto the "island" green at the sixteenth, and the ferocious lake hazard on the eighteenth are all cal- culated to make trouble for the steadi- est of players.

The outstanding feature of the golfing season of 1906 has been the pronounced superiority of the SilK Pneumatic Golf Ball Its achievements have been truly remarkable. Records have been piled on records almost without number. To detail the phenomenal successes of this ball would occupy pages. Sufficient it is to say that no event in the whole history of the game has been of such wide and far-reaching importance as the performances of the SILK PNEUMATIC. Associated with such unique performances are the names of such leading exponents of the game as Alex. Smith, Willie Anderson, Arthur Smith, W. C. Sherwood, Gilbert Nicholls, W. H. Way, and many other fine players in the professional class, as well as a large array of the best amateurs. Many, many very fine players—but the one and the same ball in all cases—the SILK PNEUMATIC. So it's not entirely the player. That YOUR game would be materially improved by its use we are so far convinced that we are willing to take all the risk. Your money back if there's no improvement after a reasonable trial.

Buy now the Stock of the PITTSBURG-MANHATTAN MINING CO., of Tonopah, Nevada. 100,000 Shares—par value $1.00, fully paid and non-assessable—offered at 10 cents per share

PROPERTY AND LOCATION The most notable facts of the Company are that it owns proven gold and silver bearing land; not only is the ore there, but it is there in quantities, an apparently inexhaustible supply of pay ore. The Company owns the Gregory Group of five Claims, situated in the famous MANHATTAN DISTRICT, and also has several claims in the LONE MOUNTAIN DISTRICT; both these districts are the richest in the WORLD. The tunnels have been opened up on the Lone Mountain claims and indications point to striking large bodies of high grade ore carrying values in Gold and Silver.

MINING HAS BUILT MANY GREAT FORTUNES Nothing so surely offers large returns as a good Mining Stock. Probably you do not realize how many people there are who are enjoying a regular income as a result from investing in mining Stocks. There are thousands of them, and they are largely those who bought their stock when the opportunity was first offered to secure shares at a low price before the company had begun to pay dividends. Stocks of many mining companies have advanced from a few cents a share to prices ranging from $100 to $1,500 a share in value, and besides have paid back to the investors in dividends many hundred times what they first invested. Many of the companies are paying from 100 to 1,000 per cent, in dividends on the first price of the stock. To grasp this opportunity and purchase stock in the PITTSBURG- MANHATTAN MINING COMPANY at 10 cents a share means success to you; and that means houses, good living, travel, education and social privileges for your children. If you do not grasp this opportunity to secure a good share of wealth you are likely tg be classed as a failure. The proposition is in the hands of men whose ability and integrity cannot lie questioned, and these men pledge themselves to see that each and every investor in the enterprise receives an equal division of the profits. Experts have examined the property, and it is the universal opinion that it has a wonderful future.

ORGANIZATION The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, Capital stock of $1,000,000, divided into shares of the par value of $1.00 each: 400,000 shares are in the treasury, which will lie sold, as required for developments, from time to time.

10 CENTS PER SHARE, CASH OR INSTALLMENTS We want to impress upon you the fact that you don't have to be rich in order to become a shareholder in this splendid Company. The price of shares is only 10 cents and you can buy as few as one hundred (100), $10.00 worth. If you are not in a position to pay cash for all the shares you desire to own, we will accept a small payment down with the order, the remainder to be paid in five instalments. Suppose you want to invest $10.00 in this company; simply send us $2.50 with your order for 100 shares, and thereafter $1.50 per month for five months, and tin- stock will be paid for. It's very easy—anyone can afford to do this. Almost every one has enough money in a year to buy them an interest in this Company which would make them independent for life. Send in your order to-day. The following table will show you just how many shares your money will buy, the amount you send if you want to pay all cash, and the plan for monthly payments .

378 TWO SPLENDID NOVELS The Awakening of Helena Richie BY MARGARET DELAND Author of "OLD CHESTER TALES," "DR. LAVENDAR'S PEOPLE." "A perfect book," declares the New York Times. "Everybody is reading THE AWAKENING OF HELENA RICHIE now. It is the novel of the summer." " As an achievement in letters this story of passion and folly, repentance and renunciation, deserves to be ranked among the chiefest samples of Ameri- can imaginary writing."—Philadelphia North American. " Such work as this is bound to endure, must endure," says the Providence Journal. " It shows how good American fiction can be. The story charms insist- ently from the first page, but presently it flashes out into a tremendous drama, catching the reader in its onward sweep and holding him enthralled to the end." Illustrations by Walter Appleton Clark. Price $1.50. Buchanan's Wife BY JUSTUS MILES FORMAN Author of "TOMMY CARTERET," "THE ISLAND OF ENCHANTMENT." The heroine is a beautiful girl forced by her family to marry for money. Her husband, Buchanan, shortly disappears, and a year later a body is found that Beatrix allows to be identified as that of Buchanan, her husband. Her marriage with her early lover follows. A startling turn takes place and a strange series of events begin. The story remains poised over a situation dramatic and unique until the thrilling climax comes with a rush of surprise. A more dramatic story, with the outcome of a woman's fight for love held in breathless suspense, it would be difficult to imagine. Illustrated. Price $1.50.

382 GREAT GOLFERS Their Methods at a Glance By GEORGE \V. BELDAM With Contributions by HAROLD H. HILTON, J. H. TAYLOR, JAMES BRAID, ALEX. HERD and HARRY VARDON Cloth, $3 50, net (Postage 22c.) Illustrated by 26S Action Photographs The author has been fortunate in securing Mr. Harold H. Hilton to write a few words on each of the amateurs, criticising their game as he sees it. As Mr. Hilton is the only amateur who has twice won the Open Championship, and has a most keen power of observation, besides vast experience of the game, his views are a great addition and help to the correct interpretation of the Photographs. From these pictures he can see the stance at a glance, as each Golfer is standing on a square of four feet divided into six-inch squares ; and he need not be constantly wondering if he is on the right lines, and is standing as his model does, or following his methods.
