In other words, at the top of your swing you look down at it over the left shoulder, just as you would sight it with a gun if you have one in your hands when the body has pivoted. Many lose sight of the ball at the top of their swings. They wabble their heads, sway them back and forth and have no definite idea as to where the ball 1s located, or the flag. for that matter. As a result, they drive very wildly, usually a slies. Much of this wildness can be cor- rected by properly looking at the ball and begring the line of intended flight in mind. You have to know exactly where the ball is in order to direct your club to it on the downswing. And you must know tne line it is to be driven if you are going to send it in that general direction. Many stars claim that they do not look definitely at the ball. That is mostly bunk. They have a quite definite idea of its ex- act location, or they could not con- nect with it as they do.
