Golf is played with loose, flexible muscles much as one cracks a whip. Details of stroking must be auto- matic. That is why marked improve- ment can come only via long and careful practice. You can't hit a golf ball by think- ing of a dozen things to do. Every star has just one idea in mind—to hit the ball. Details take care of themselves. Practice accomplishes this.

To make his two main championship bids this season, Bobby Jones will travel | farther than in any year since 1926, when he won the British open at Lytham and St. Anne's and the Ameri- can open at Columbus, Ohio. After matching strokes with Hagen, Farrell, Horton, Smith and a_few| others on the outskirts of New York, the eminent Georgian will have nothing much to do until he packs up his bags to go to California. The far West has had no conspicuous hand in the award of amateur cham- pionship honors since George Von Elm, the blond slugger, stopped Bobby Jones in the 1926 finals at Baltusrol. But Von Elm has shifted ports and will be among the invaders at Del Monte this year. The Pacific Coast expects to cut into the championship flight more heavily, with greater forces to draw upon, led by such seasoned club swingers as “Doc” Willins, Frank Dolp, Don Moe, and Bon Stein. ¥.
