it looks as though they’ve got it.
Far something like the first
half of IBS4 the cash has been
divided more evenly than it has
hi other years.
The victory of Julius Boros at
Ardmore, Okie., pushed him to
the top of the official P.GJL. list

'first victory in a major tourna

down the line with Jerry Berber

I doubt if any pro can keep
his expenses under SBOO per

tournaments. This means that
only the first 15 among the '54
winners have made expenses or a •

than $4,000 each, are stiff in the

IT’S THE little things in golf
that count. They’re important
mainly because they indicate
what you are doing about the big
things, such as the essentials of
the swing or shot-making.
One of these ’’little” things is
the particular place on the club
face usjd to strike the ball. Most
players pay little or no attention
to this point. As long as they
strike the ball with some part of
the club they feel they have done
all that is necessary or all that
they possibly can do in the mat
ter. By this way of figuring they
might as well have a doorknob
instead of a regular clubhead on
the end of the shaft.
Other players are quite con
scious of the angles at which the
clubface can be set at the mo
ment of impact. They struggle
to control this angle and to make
it consistent with the direction
desired in their shots. Very few
players give any attention to the
part of the clubface used to strike
the ball. All players talk about
it from time to time.

“I HIT THAT one off the t 04,”
a player will say when merits bn
the clubface show that the ball
was struck by the heel of the
face. They’re only guessing about
it. It is a part of your technique
that is well worth knowing.
The real power and accuracy in
striking are had. only when the
inner two-thirds of the clubface
is used. By striking the ball with
some point in the outer third of
the clubface, the section common
ly called the toe, both force and
accuracy are greatly lessened. At:
times you may have trouble by
striking the bail too high or toa
low on the face, but this varia
tion seldom is as great as that
ranging from heel to toe and It
does not affect the flight as much.
To get the best results yoa
should make a habit of address
ing the ball with the heel of the
clubface and swinging with ail
effort to strike the ball with this
area
This will immediately Improve
the length and direction of yOHT
shots with all clubs.
