That Destroy Effect- manner I have indicated, That fault means that the player is trying to hit the ball with his left foot in a pigeo: toed position or at the moment when the ankle is being screwed round in the endeavor to get the foot back to its correct angle. You are making the stroke at a time when your left foot is trying to take itself from the pigeon-toe to the splay-foot position it mhoald be in at the moment of im- pact. That kind of pivoting certainly does not produce power. It produces al- most every kind of golfing inaccuracy, from a topped shot to @ miss alto- wether, Correct Movement From the Waist. The correct pivot 1s done from the waist, and is essential in order to give the shoulders that half-right turn which brings along the easily applied force that 1s necessary to a successful golf stroke, Always beware of that left heel business, for that foot has got to be in a position which will able it to. bear the weight that will be transferred to it as the body fol- lows the club from the right. Another feature that often creeps into the process of pivoting is the dropping of the left shoulder, To some extent, the correct pivot will cause the left shoulder to get a little nearer to the ground, but that ts not? “dropping.” What I mean by drop- ping is the deliberate lowering of the shoulder, as if that movement was |an essential part of the screwing up of the top part of the body, SHAMROCK SHOWS RESOLUTE THE Back oF HER NECK AGAIN HOD-GAST OUR EPINNAkEA! PAINT , tickeo HL (m LUCckKED- When the Shoulder Is Dropped. An accentuated drop of the left shoulder will ruin a shot because it is next to impossible to get back to the well balanced position that you should be In when the club meets the ball. If you have pivoted correctly your left foot has remained at the angle of forty-five degrees to the intended line of flight, and all that has happened to the left foot will have been a trans- ference of weight from the sole and heel to the ball of the big toe. Concentrate your mind on the waist and do not twiddlo the left heel. That left heel twiddle is the lazy golfer's method, for it Is leas physical effort to get the club up into position that way than by turning from the middle of the body, There are many players who pivot in a correct manner, but who rather overdo the turning and, as a conse- quence, find themselves off the fair- way very frequently. Roughly speak- ing, you can pivot almost as much as you like, providing you retain suff- cient’ control of the club to keep straight, When you find that you are not keeping on the fairway as much as you would like to, take notice of that point, and if you think you are screwing the body too much, lessen the extent of the pivot, and you will © c find that, although you may lose in| Would have had to be a John P.

(Boectal by ‘The Trentey Weel.) SHAWNEE-ON-DELAWARH, July 21—It’s @ lucky thing for Harry Vardon that he wasn't able ¢o com pete in the opening of the open tournament on the links of the Shawnee Country Club, eas the chances arethat he would bave had to finish in the ruck, as did his.coun tryman, Ted Ray. The brand of golf that Jim Barnes exhibited in the first day’s play was almost unbeatable. He displayed re- markable confidence at every stroke. He feels right at home over this course, as he was the winner of the same tourney last season. It was “Long Jim's” first regular exhfbition in this country this sea- son. He only recently returned from Pngland, where he made @ creditable, though unsuccessful ef- fort at winning the championship of Great Britain. Barnes led the field for the first 36 holes, his score for the two rounds of 18 holes apiece, being 72. * Ted Ray, the famous English “pro,” was in fifth place, with a 147, which rep- resented cards af 73 in the morn- ing and 74 in the afternoon, (Ray was accompanted on both Jour- neys by Louis Telller, the. little Frenchman from Boston, who had a card of 148. Vardon found that “his sprained thumb was so sore that he couldn't grip a club. Ray's playing was not wp to expec- tations. At times he was away off his game, particularly at the etxth hole in the afternoon, which it took him seven strokes- to negotiate. Barnes played @ most steady game He had not had a club in his hand since he finished July 1 on the other side. He did the 448-yard fourteenth in three, two strokes under the regu- lation par. This ‘was one of the fea- tures of the day's play. ‘Then came Shawnee'’s famous “river hole in which tt 1s necessary to drive over a wide branch of the Delaware, Harnes put his tee shot within two feet of the cup and sank the putt for a two. A great piece of golfmanship. In the afternoon Barnes had a lob of hard luck, as did Ray, dy missing easy putts.
