Local Shriners Sponsor National Golf Tourney Shriners from Southeastern North Carolina Shriners have pulled off a real coup by staging a national golf tournament to benefit Shriners Hospitals and Burn Centers across the nation. In just the second year of their golf tournament they have secured the endorsement of the national Shriners organization to conduct the National Shriners Crippled Children Open Golf Tournament. Almost all 50 states will be represented in the two-man best-ball event to be conducted over two courses at Sea Trail Golf Links Aug. 2, 3 ;uul 4. Shriners in several states are holding their own golfing events and are offering as a prize an expense paid trip to the National Shriners Tournament here in Brunswick County. Friday will feature a free practice round and a social hour with band music. Saturday the field will compete in a qualifying round in order to place the two-man teams in (lights for the final round on Sunday. Saturday's round will be followed by a social hour, a prime rib dinner and entertainment. Sunday's round will be followed by the awards cere mony. The entry fee is S200 per player. There is a rcduccd fee for those not planning to attend the social functions. A car will be given away each day of the tournament for a hole in one. Nearest the pin prizes will include a SI ,500 diamond ring and a free weekend at Ocean Isle Beach. The tournament will also feature the finest array of door prizes one could imagine, Shriners say. Ihe Shriners >upport 19 hospitals and 3 burn centers across the United Slates. The annual budget for these treatment centers is more than $325 million. The Shriners Crippled Children's Fund is the lone beneficiary of this and other Shrine fund-raisers. The tournament is open to all local golfers. For information or an application form contact Don Willctts (919) 253-5294 or Albert Parker (919) 754-6634. The tournament slogan is, "Hit the ball so a cripplcd child may stand tall." SHORl CjAMb l-UNuAMbNlALS Chip Like You Putt You may retail thai 1 have been wording on a set of columns which are based on leaching methods and techniques found in the new PGA Teaching Manual. In addition to being im pressed with the manual as a whole, I particularly like the set of chapters on putting, chipping and pitching. The manual suggests that these three shots are similar in many respects and provide instruction which places each of these shots on a learning continuum. My last column on the short game fundamentals provided you with several putting drills which allowed you to focus on the PGA's putting principles while practicing putting in order to install precision and confi dence in your putting stroke. To review, the putting principles which the PGA Manual suggests arc: be sure your ball position in the stance is always the same, check to see that your set-up is the same each time you putt, make certain that you are delivering the putter face through the ball with a smooth accelerating stroke, and be conscious of making solid contact with the ball. Parting Thoughts About Putting Before we depart from putting and transition to the chipping stroke, I would like to leave you w??h a few other notions found in the PGA teaching manual. Place your eye line directly over the ball when taking your stancc and setting up to the ball. I would go even further and ask you to place your "master eye" or dominant eye over the rear perimeter of the ball, such that you are looking directly at the back of the ball. " Placing your eye line in side or outside of the ball tends to distort your perception of the line to the hole." Locating the master eye over the ball will go a long way in assisting you to fine tune the same ball position each time you putt. It is also a good aid in checking to insure that you have a consistent set up to the ball. Re sure that your putting stroke delivers the putter blade ihrough the ball and not just to the ball. A putting stroke which decelerates at the ball will never give consistent results. One method of checking on your tech nique is to be sure that the hands always pass beyond your left leg on the follow-through of the putting stroke. Even on short putts. Just remember to accelerate smoothly and and finish the stroke after the ball is on the way. Chipping Is A Descending Stroke Learning to chip a golf ball with confidence and precision is much eas ier if you use what you have already learned about the putting stroke. There are certainly more similarities between the strokes than there arc differ ences. This prompts my contention that you should chip the same way that you puu. For my money, the chip shot is basically a putt with a lofted club. You still want a standard ball position, a standard set-up, and an accel erating stroke which produces solid contact on the sweet spot of the club. The only changes you make in the chip shot are those which accommodate the fact that the master teachers in the PGA agree that the stance for chip shots differ uniformly. The feet arc slightly open and closer together than in the putting stance. Also your hands should be slightly forward of the ball position and they should choke down on the club for greater control. The PGA manual also suggests that your body weight should be more on the left foot. Moving the hands forward and the weight to the left foot serves to ensure that you contact the ball before you reach the low point of your swing arc. This descending stroke enables solid contact on the sweet spot of the club. Furthermore the hands should always lead the clubhcad through the ball. The basic chipping stroke is still like that with a putter, a single lever stroke using the shoulders instead of the arms, wrists or hands. The back of the left hand and wrist should remain firm as in putting stroke. No effort should be made to cross the right hand over the left during the chip shot. You can practice this chipping stance, set up an stroke using the same putting drills suggest earlier for medium lenth putts. Next week we will ex amine the selection of clubs to use for chipping and a small variation for re ally long chip shots.
