The Gray Scot probably did it on purpose. Of the numerous protests we received, both oral and written in fire, for having repeated the Armour heresy, one of the more temperate comes from J. Lewis Brown of Sudbury, Ont., a former editor of Golf Iullustrated in this city. He says that after 54 years of association with the game he knows “‘twaddle” when he sees it. “Now, one more golf champion,” Mr. Brown writes, “is alleged to be telling golfers through an in- struction book that one of the fundamentals of shot-making should be ignored. (We don’t es- pecially like that “alleged”, but let it go.) ; “That Armour or any star golf- er permits. heresies about the game or the way it is played to be published under their name is a sad reflection on their lack ‘of judgment and proves beyond al- most a shadow of a doubt that they. know little about the com- ponent factors of the golf swing except that intuitively they have learned how to accomplish it themselves." “As proof of this, I suggest that to tell. you what happens in his swing from beginning to end and see how muddled he gets. : “If it is true (that follow through instruction is the bunk) then why does Armour follow through? I'll tell you _why—because he can’t help himself. His back and down swings are so that auto- matically he follows through in the perfect arc. I playing a shot he makes sure that the momentum of the clubhead and the co-ordinated pressure of his hands, wrists, arms, shoulders and body are sufficient to assure the perfection of his effort. “You have heard that Armour is famous for his long iron play, but in my book it also is a toss-up as to whether he or MacDonald Smith- were the most perfect driv- ers of their day. Both could split a fairway from the tee with almost unerring accuracy. Theirs were really “controlled” drives, learned through battling the seaside breezes of Scotland, “So, if Armour’s actual play proves that he is conscious of the follow through, then why isn’t it good business for the tyro to do the same, either consciously or unconsciously? It is a known fact that the ball is flattened out on the face of the clubhead for near- ly two and one-half inches, It is in this instant that direction and Es gros ‘THE STRAW DONKEY CASE AP Newsteatures Chapter 6 T= office Was divided by a Partition into a ‘two-by-four waiting room and a two-by-four inner sanctum. In the waiting Toom there were water colors on two'walls, green chairs, inagazine rack, and a frail bru- nette with a bruised eye who was trying to interest: herself-in a copy of Time. Brindle strode the in- ner door and found on the telephone. He smiled inwardly at the ‘kid he'd started in the busi- ness before war. Oaks had fitted/ himself out in this elegant office on a G.I. loan and seemed to be doing okay. He wondered. how! confident Oaks’ clients felt load- ing their troubles onto his boy- ish shoulders. He was. balding prematurely; perhaps that helped. The younger man’s blond eye- brows went up when Brindle walked in. He winked, and a mg- ment later hung up the phone. “Hello, Max,” he beamed. “Bus- iness or pleasure?” “Do you owe me any favors?” Brindle asked, tearing open: his pack of cigarettes. if “You big lug, of course I do.”; “A gu tailing me.
