THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO D. C, APRIL 26, 1931—PART FIVE. Golfers Focus on Washington Event : Two Big Sandlot Loops to Open Tomorrow FIRST BIG TOURNEY LISTED THIS WEEK Five Flights Will Qualify Tuesday and Wednesday. Play Summer Rules. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. ABHINGTON'S initial big tournament of the year will be played this week in a picturesque setting over in Virginia where the hills of the Old Dominion State slope down to the Potomac River. With one of the largest entries in the long history of this tourney—the initial golf classic of the year over many seasons—the Washington Golf and Country Club invitation event will get under way early Tuesday morning. All day Tuesday and all the follow- day crowds of golfers will put their | and abllity against the natural and man-made hazards of the Virginia course in anr attempt to qualify in the five flights, which will play off at mateh play on Thursday and PFriday. Judged by the size of the field and the | class of the contestants the struggle | for places among the select 80 who will qualify in the five flights will be keen. Less than one-third of the fleld will qualify. The others must be content to watch their more skultul associates continue in the match play rounds. So have these invitation tournaments gone around Washington. Time was when most of the entrants were certain to qualify, but that day has passed. For | most of the competitors ln these days of crowded entry lists the struggle to | auluy tor uu mnuh play rounds is | = uz! and Greens Committees of e Washington Club have recon- sidered their earlier decision to play “Winter rules” in the tournament and announced as entries closed last night that regular Summer rules will prevail, both in the qualifieation round and in :.:0 nloceld.ln.hmlu!h play rounds of e ing the ball on the fair- occur, the committees This | golfer has been in separating the con- those Wednesday will be given | over to v-h- hazardous business of qual- | ifying, snd Wednesday maht th: 80 suecessful contestants will hile there are three more tournaments scheduled for ith of May and contestants are forward the Truly the month of May | a busy one for golfers about Wash- | ington.

(American open. British open, American amateur and British amateur champion.) ECENTLY some comment has| appeared in the papers to the | effect that ultra high-speed motion pictures made by the | Jenkins Laboratories of Washington | have revealed certain things about the | golf swing which made it evident that the pros had been teaching wrong for | years. The swings of Vardon, Miss Wethered and myself were filmed, and the results were illuminating: but I do | not think it is quite fair to the num- ! bers of excellent teachers in America today to say that they have heen shown | to be mistaken, I think it is better. | and more aceurate, to say that '.ha; pictures have actually demonstrated things which before were only suspected. These P. G. A. pictures ought to| be a marvelous contribution to ZoJf.| Photographed at the rate of 3,200 pie- | tures per second, they represent by ‘ar the fastest (camera speed) or slowest (projection speed) ever attained. For the trained and capable student of the game they should prove of great value. When the observer knows what he wants t> see, these pictures afford him the opportunity to actually study the motion. Should Be Big Help. In the hands of the pros—men who are capable of interpreting them—they are indirectly going to be of value to the average golfer, and it is particularly gratifying that the pictures of ali three players portray the same fundamental movements. I don't believe the pic- tures would have peen of much value if it had been found that the three models selected were all different. In-| deed, it is hard to imagine a more| confusing occurrence. Of course it is always interesting to| see one’s own swing &s others sgee it.| When I first saw a slow-motion shot of hY golf swing—that was a long time go—I didn't believe it, just as mere rmntly I didn't believe it when I first heard my voice in the talkies. In the first pictures I didn't believe that the portrayal of my hip action was at all correct. Since then, of course, I have seen the same thing numbers of times, in my own swing and in pictures of other Reople. until I know now that it is really true. I think, now that we have had years of slow motion study, almost every first-class golfer knows well enough how he hits the ball. The | guess has been removed. But even slow-motion pictures need | interpretation. The one great difficul from the standpoint of avera sciously controled movements from that are rely instinctive. And this| is just where the pro eor in'arpl'!ufl comes in. It is his job to point out the | things whieh ought to be watched, the | things *which are subject to contre These are the important fundamentals. movements follow naturally. Many people have asked me if I have learned anything frem the making of | the series of piotures upon which I am | now working. I don’t think that that was to be expected, because I have had the | opportunity for years to see my swing 1 have learned a great | deal about the swing since I began writing ubout it some four years ago, and to analyse the himn: mun critie Lhm I had done before. Confirms His Beliefs. Neither the P. G. A, lletum nor the Jnes which I am now making have shown me anything new. All they have done A has been to confirm over and over again, things that I felt all along I was doing or had seen in previous pictures.

Registering results it is possible to teil without guessing, what caused & cerfain shot to go off line. One thing, though, which I have not had at my command before has exceedingly interesting. Even a slow- motion picture moves along at a speed which makes a study of position possible only to the trained eye. Although slow, it is still a representation of motion, and the various attitudes through whieh he proceeds in hitting a ball. But by taking high-speed shot and re- printing one frame which it is desired to examine, the motion can be stopped at any point for as long as is necessary. | When it has been studied the motion is pened. Thus we may see the swin flow into any position, hold it there, an w] Wwe have seen enough, allow it to pass on. This is of immense value when we are focusing on one detall or one phase of the stroke.
