VOL. XXVII AUGUST, 1910 No. 2 THE DRIVE By P. A. Vaile (Author of "Modern Golf")

The English people have some very be content to deal with one thing at quaint characteristics. If one tells a time, so we may with advantage, in them anything they do not know they the first place, deal with the drive, immediately call it "theory."

The natural result of a stroke played, as is the orthodox and accepted golf drive, is pulling or slicing. The stroke of the future will, I believe, be that drive which has a great amount of back-spin on it, commonly called the wind-cheater. This back-spin pro- duces a long carry and a beautiful flight, and the spin on the ball does not in any way affect its direction, for the plane of rotation coincides with the plane of flight. In simpler words, the ball is spinning on an axis that is at all times at a right angle to the imaginary sheet of glass before referred to, namely, the plane of flight. In time to come it will be recog- nized that the golf swing is a much exaggerated action. It will be seen that all this circular swinging of the club-head in a plane clean outside of the plane in which it is required to do its business, tends to inaccuracy. So it will come to pass that the shorter swing with the downward blow will grow in favor. It is possible to get a tremendous carry with this stroke, and PLATE No. 1 the follow through is always straighter down the line to the hole than it is equally obvious, watching the head of with other strokes.

Plate II shows Duncan near the top of his swing. It will be seen that the The most important error that is weight is fairly equally distributed made in all books is in the advice given as to the distribution of weight here. On the right side from heel to in the drive. Practically all the books head is a straight line. The right leg say that the weight at the top of the is straight and stiff. The foot is planted drive goes on to the right leg. Now, the truth is, that in a perfect swing it never gets on to the right leg. This may be proved in a very simple manner. Run a rigid rod out from a tree or shed so that it touches one'-> neck on the side farther from the hole. It is now impossible for one to sway, or draw the head away from the hole in driving. It will be found that unless one absolutely contorts oneself one cannot get one's weight on to the right leg. Many a con- firmed slicer has been cured by this simple experiment. It follows that if one gets the weight on the rear leg, and keeps it there, as many do, there must be a pronounced tendency to drag across the ball, thus producing a slice. Plate I shows George Duncan ad- dressing the ball. Duncan is, in my opinion (and I am not alone in it), the finest natural eolfer in the United PLATE Nn. 2 THE DRIVE

that Duncan's left foot is almost parallel with the line of Might. It always seems natural to me in any sport to so use my feet that the weight shall be thrown down them, as shown here, and not across them. The latter characteristic must be prejudicial to the best class of follow-through. Thi> matter of the distribution of weight is of the utmost importance in the drive. It is an axiom that one must not draw one's head away from the hole. Bearing this in mind, and at the same time executing the golf swing, one will be surprised to find how much more of the weight is thrown upon the left than upon the right. The effect of this is to keep the center of the circle described by the club-head more constant, and therefore to insure greater accuracy. PLATE NO. 3 One of the most pronounced firmly on the ground.

Beyond this slow-back has been absolutely done to death. We are frequently told that the drive at golf is a "sweep" and not a hit. Whenever I hear this I feel inclined to say to the parrot who is repeating the story. "So are you." Ainr man who can insult one of the greatest strokes in the whole realm of athletics, one of the very finest hits, by calling it a sweep, deserves the /// quoque line of argument. There is one important part of the drive that was never illustrated in any book until I put it into "Modern Golf," and that is the waggle. There PLATE No. 4 74 THE DRIVE

keeping one's eyes on the place where the ball was, means keeping one's head still. A rigid head and neck will "anchor" any drive, and reduce to comparative importance the most celebrated players' follow through. This has been demonstrated by the camera. The era of new thought in golf has dawned even in England. For far too long the literature of the game has been "faked" by enterprising pub- lishers and hack journalists whose only consideration was the financial side. To write any game well one must absolutely love it. Unless one really understands what the soul of golf means one is getting only half the game. ()ne cannot arrive at the true meaning of these words without a long and loving acquaintance with the game—and faithful service. That is the canker at the heart of English golf. In it. as in the national life, the noble idea of service is miss- ing. The whole question is what can we get out of it.

That is ten strokes better than par for the two clays' play, and is an average of 71y2 strokes per round. This is especially remarkable, as the Nashville course is not in perfect condition now by any means and also because Evans holed few, if any, lucky putts. With even average putting luck on the last round he would have made a 68.

After recounting the deeds of Chick Evans there is not a lot left to tell about the tournament. Heyburn played nice golf and was invincible until he met Evans, John Bell played especially good golf all the way through, and in the finals he turned in a medal card which equalled bogey, though it helped him little against Evans' 70.

"No," replies the Tampan. "Good-by," says the Tourist. This imaginary bit of dialogue is quoted by the people of Tampa, Fla., in explaining why they have set to work to build a golf course that they hope will rival the best in the South. This is somewhat of a new reason for building a golf course. Usually they are put in because somebody wants to play golf. And there are folks in Tampa, who want to play, too.

Hastings Webling, who was playing for Brantford, wrote the following impromptu in honor of the gallant little doctor, who, by the way, celebrated the event in the good old Scottish manner: W.
