PlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
Golf Tips—By Nelson , ' '
Many players seem to be in such a hurry to hit a bad shot and
get it over with that they almost always get their wish.
Never be so anxious to start the downswing that you may fail
to finish your backswing. Let your wrists get cocked at the top of
the backswing and let your hands pause momentarily and then
with the club head under your full control start your downswing.

Golf Tips—By Nelson k
Purely as an aid to relaxation and to concentration, still the
entiie value may be completely lost by an awkward meaningless
WaSgle, so see that your waggle makes sense by making it entirely
al°n? the desired line of flight so that it begins a rythmic, swing,
don’t ever waggle more than a few times, for a prolonged
WaSgle generally means a poor shot. If you cannot relax and con
centrate after three or four waggles it is better to walk entirely
"ay ^10m the ball and start anew.
Behold The Mighty Dinosaur
“Behold the mighty Dinosaur,
Famous in prehistoric lore
Not only for his weight and length
But for his intellectual strength.
You will observe by these remains,
The creature had two sets of brains;
One in the skull—the usual place;
The other at his spinal base.
Thus he could reason ‘a priori’
As well as ‘a posteriori.’
No question bothered him a bit—
For he could see both sides of it;
And he could think without congestion
Upon both sides of any question.
As he thought twice before he spoke,
He had few judgments to revoke.
Oh, gaze upon this model beast,
Defunct ten million years,"at least!”
