Bobby Jones keeps his head down even after the ball is well on its way. So does about every pro and emateur golfer of note. “Keep your head down!” is a golf slogan preached the year round from coast to coast everywhere the game is played. Bobby admits, by the way, that he doesn't concentrate on looking at the ball. The reason he holds his head down, as in the sketch above, is Lo prevent dubbing the shot ‘We have often wondered why a golfer has to keep his head down. To do so means stifing an impulse o watch a good drive. So, with our local pro, experiments were con- ducted. The idea was that if one can thoroughly understand an axiom of golf, such as “Keep vour head down!" one will be far' more likely to do so. If you will stand as you would to play a shot, letting the arms rest on your legs, as in the sketch above, with your head down, as it would e when looking at the ball and then suddenly raise it to look at a drive supposedly made down the falrway. you will find that both arms raise up slightly. In other words, this littie experiment. will prove to you that looking up invariably causes wpping because it pulls the arms away from the ball The main idea in keeping the head down is to prevent this lift of the arms. The purpose is not to look at the ball. A good golfer can hit a perfectly fine drive blindfolded. That has often been proven. But to do 50 he keeps his head down, even though he cannot see the ball.
