Seven Big Golf Tournaments, 'Five of Them Here, Comprise Spring List for D. C. Players five of which will be played at ‘Washington clubs, make up the Spring competitive schedule this year for that sector of the golfing clan pt the Capital which is tournament fnclined. The fathers of District golf, meeting &t the Racquet Club last night, set the final stamp of approval on the tourna- ment schedule which is surprisingly comprehensive, considering the times, and embraces nearly 1 the older tournaments. At the same time they chose officers and made the first move toward secur- ing for the Columbia Country Club the sectional qualification rounds for the national amateur championship. Here is the complete tournament schedule around Washington and Balti- more: Manor Club invitation, May 9, 10, 11 and 12. Chevy Chase Club invitation, May 16, 17. 18 and 19, Baltimore Country Club invitation, May 25, 26 and 27. Columbia Country Club invitation, June 6, 7, 8 and 9. Middle Atlantic Golf Association fhampionship, June 13, 14, 15 and 16. Congressional Country Club invita- tion, June 20, 21, 22 and 23. Indian Spring invitation, June 27, P8, 29 and 30. S had been anticipated, the Wash- ington and Woodmont clubs did not ask for tournament dates an- nouncing that no invitation tourneys will be held this year by those clubs. But Indian Spring, which has been on $he doubtful list for weeks as to whether a tournament will be held, asked for and received dates. The Army-Navy SEV!‘.N major golf tournaments, Country Club, which held a tourney| M. last year, announced that only two days ago a decision was made not to thold an event this Spring in view of gertain necessary changes in the golf gourse, but held out the hope that such t.n event may be played in the Fall. The championship schedule of the Braces ooty o Tankos RTINS0 ces only the [ ] be played at Beaver Dam on August 30, and the all-ages title chase, to be played at Indian Spring on September 7 and 8. The senior tourney was canceled. Robert Stead, jr, of Chevy Chase was chosen president, succeeding Clyde B. Asher of Columbia in that gon. Other officers are: O. L. Veerhoff, ‘Washington, first vice president; Tom M. Belshe, Indian Spring, second vice president; Dr. W, C. Barr, Columbia, secretary-treasurer. In addition to the officers the following will serve on the Executive Committee: Clyde -B. Asher, Dr. Bruce L. Taylor, Congressional, and Capt. K. J. Flelder, Army-Navy. 'HE District association was informed that the United States Golf As- sociation expects to hold the champlonship sectional trial at a Washington club on August 7. H. King Cornwell, speaking for the Col- ’| umbia Country Club, asked that no bid be made until Columbia can submit a bid for the tourney. Meanwhile Corn- well will attempt to get in touch with George P. James, chairman of the Col- umbia Golf Committee, who is out of the city. Indian Spring will stage three major events this year, its own invitation event, the District chlmglomhlp on September 7 and 8 and the Maryland amateur title tourney on July 19, 20, 21 and 22. Those who attended the meeting were: Robert Stead, jr., Chevy Chase; H. King Cornwell, Columbia; O. O. Veerhoff and Dr. James T. McClenahan, Washington; T. M. Belshe and Carl Willingham, Indian Spring; Dr. Bruce L. Taylor, Congressional; Albert E. Steinem and Willlam Ilich, Woodmont; H. Maier, Beaver Dam; D. L. Thomson and R. F. Garrity, Manor; Capt. K. J. Fielder and Capt. B. R. Luscomb, Army-Navy. Dates for the open championship qualification rounds, to be played at Manor, were announced for May 15. MRS.

Weight Must Move Into Shot From Right to Left to Place Backspin on Ball, Says Jones The only man who ever held the American gmaseur and open champlonship an British amateur and open championship in one year. BY BOBBY JONES. N accomplishing the sort of down- ward stroke which produces back- spin and a true flying shot, with- out smothering, topping, or hook- ing, the player must see to it that he not only hits downward but that he not only hits downward, but that should never lose the essential char- acteristics of a true swing merely be- cause it is directed downward through the turf. It never becomes a mere bash into the ground. Probably the most insidious tendency in golf, especially in playing the irons and pitching clubs, is to creep more and more forwardsin the act of ad- dressing the ball. The player feels, #s he moves out in frent of the ball, that his chances of accomplishing a correct downward stroke are increased. He hopes by this, although sometimes subconsiciously, to avoid the necessity of shifting his weight correctly. With the ball oppsite his right foot, he con- Golf Analyzed | e—————BY JOE GLASS —nuw— HAVE heard professionals suggest that the position of the little finger of the right in the overlapping grip promotes a ten- dency in the case of ordinary play- ers to hook. If properly adjusted. the end joint of this finger should fit snugly over the first joint of the index finger of the left hand, and perhaps a litile over the second joint, depending on the nature of the hand. However, many players will wedge it between the first and second fingers of the left hand, which has a tendency to force the palm of the right hand under too much, thus tightening the right wrist. The consequence is that when the clubhead foes through the ball it hooks, and low, wide hooks are apt to result. It is noticeable that Armour, Jones and other stars don’t wedge the little finger of the right hand between the first and second fingers of the left. mfl you are inw&esu% & lmh;zov; our game, Joe ne‘w );nfln on “How to Practice”, which he will send to any reader re- uuxa it.« Address Joe Glass in Gare this paper, inclosing & ceives that he has only to raise the club and slam it down. NY number of difficulties arise when the stroke is attempted in this wey. Unquestionably the most de- structive is the restriction of the use of the left side of the body. The stroke becomes cramped; the ball off the right foot is not in position to be “taken”’by a free swing from the! left side; the right hand must whip the club down in an effort to bring the shot around to the proper line. The result is a short backswing and a quick hit, not through the turf, but burying the head of the club in the ground. Obviously, in order to account for the difference hetween the flat arc of the driving swing and the descending arc of the backspin stroke, the “center” must move forward so that the low ! point of the arc will likewise move for- ward. This is cared for in the initial move after the wind-up during the backswing has been completed. After the turn back has presented the play- er's back almost squarely toward the hole, the next movement becomes .a sort of push, off the right foot, which moves the body, without any turn, for- ward toward the objective. In com- pleting the unwinding and in carrying the hitting stroke through. the weight moves into the stroke from right to left. Obviously, with the ball in its normal location, about opposite the left | heel, no sort of downward stroke can be accomplished so long as the weight remains mostly on the right. foot. TH!: one other thing of first impor- tance in delvering a downward blow is the preservation of the full angle of wrist-cock through the initial part of the downstroke. Many players begin the downswing by discharging the | cock of the wrists first in an effort to| “throw” the clubhead. The effect of | this is to cause them to arrive at the so-called hitting area with the angle between arms and club already straight- ened out. From that point, the stroke can only be completed by a sort of rolling, lifting action of the shoulders and upper body which must inevitably direct the clubhead upward. Above all, in hitting down, the use of the left side must be quite positive. The club-face must maintain a proper | alignment, a thing which becomes im- possible when the stroke is dominated by the right hand. Whenever the left | side quits and the right takes charge, | it is almost certain to turn the club- face in and .smother. the . Does the wind bother your golf shots?
