The hardest task which a golf instruc
tor faces is to find the language which
will convey the correct idea to his pupil
and this is particularly true where the
suggestions are written and the pupil
lacks an instructor to illustrate the
stroke. Each golfer puts a different
construction on what he reads and the
mental picture which two golfers have
after reading the description of a stroke
is often so different as to be quite unrec
ognizable. When the average man reads that a
golf stroke should be fast but never
hurried, firm but never tense, and pow
erful but relaxed, he is quite apt to re
mark, "That writer is crazy," and give
the subject no further thought and yet
a real athlete would understand that it
is possible to execute a movement (Play
a stroke,) and yet comply with the
above requirements to the letter.
A golf stroke must be played firmly to.
secure any degree of success, and yet
there must be no tenseness of muscles
and the whole body must v be relaxed.
To reach the scratch mark a player must
combine both direction and length in
his stroke, and this can only be done by
a perfect blending of the two great prin
cipals in golf. Distance depends on re
laxation and speed and direction on the
control of the club, so it stands to rea
son that you have to sacrifice something
of the one to secure the other.
At the start the player should concen
trate on direction and leave the question
of length to take care of itself as it
will surely do as the player 's game de
velops. We hesitate to state that many
experienced golfers use too much wrist
action in their shots for the reason that
it will make many beginners try to hit
the ball with the wrists held tensely, and
this in turn will put too much body into
the stroke; but the fact remains that
good direction is impossible where the
wrists are permitted to flop around
loosely, and the same thing applies to a
loose grip.
The hands must grip the club firmly
and the wrists must be firm at the time
of impact in all iron play or the club is
liable to turn in your hands when the
club head hits the ground and all sense
of direction lost. At the same time there
must be nothing stiff and wooden about
the stroke. Tenseness spoils almost as
many shots as are ruined by sloppy play,
and this is particularly true of recovery
work.
Watch the average player in a bunk
