GRIPS THAT ADD DIRECTION TO YOUR SHOTS
"WARE KNUCKLES !
The following story is interest, grip, even the palm grip, may be ing, but I hope that it does not lead correct. It depends on the player.; golfers to experiment unduly with the grip.
Once n golfer has acquired a grip, and has mastered his shots with it, he would be foolish to at- tempt to change. Sometimes it happens, though, that a player slips unconsciously into a small fault that mars his game, And that is the story.
Loss of Control.
The golfer concerned had lost control of his drives. He had lost no distance, but he had lost direc tion. Watching him, I thought detected too much right hand in the awing-he was hitting at the bull, instead of swinging through it.
But there are certain defnitai faults in the grip.
A player may have his own way of gripping the club. His way maY quite easily be an excellent way. On the contrary. if he has any of these faults his grip cannot be as helpful to his golf as it should be. Wrong Attitude.
The frat instinct of the new! comer to golf is to seize the club ns though it were a bludgeon, with the hands separated.
It is but a very short step from this to the palm grip-which is still¦ favoured by more people than the theorists imaging. The palmı grip ia quite antis- His grip seemed at first glance to factory as AL grip: nt lenst, Je good overlapping grip. But on "Sandy" Herd and a good many cluse examination I noticed that the others from the very earliest days right hand was a little too far un-of golf have done well with it. derneath the shaft.
"Pressing," Evidently the golfer had been "pressing." He had been striving La get greater distance, and by may- ing the right land under the shaft of the club, he had secured a sense
of greater power. Unfortunately,

Tell-Tale Knuckles. Accuracy was restored, and the awing became perceptibly slower and more powerful.
A clever golfer said to me the other day, as we stood watching a match drive off, that so soon as he aow a player who showed him the knuckles of his left hand, he knew that he was no "tiger."
This referred, of course, to the grip-if a player shows his knuck less to his adversary standing of posite him as he tees up, that hand le too far on top of the club. should be further round, so that, us the ball is addressed, the back of the hand faces the intended line of flight of the ball.

Grip Exaggerated. Many of the modern school of professionals are beginning to say that the importance of grip is ex- aggerated.
That is truo in the sense that there is no one correct grip. The overlapping grip, the interlocking
should be close together.
If he right hand is brought fur- ther forward, so that thumbs and forefingers form two "V's," bath on top of the shaft, you have another satisfactory grip. With this, the hands must definitely touch onch other.
The Overlapping Grip. by moving the right hand towards The overlapping grip le secured the left so that the ball of the right left thumb and the little finger thumb rests or the back of the of the right hand is on the fore- finger of the left.
A good modern grip has the two while the back of the loft hand is palmis "face to face," as it were.] towards the intended line of flight.
Getting the right hand under- neath the club tends towards "stiffening. up" the whole forearm, especially when you must pick up a ball that is lying very close., For this reason, the left hand should not be allowed to creep too far for ward round the shaft of the club, òri it will force the right hand down.---- (China: Mail Copyright).

Unfortunate Not to Win.
DEFENCE HOLDS OUT.
In a fast and interesting game at King's Park yesterday, the Hong Kong Hockey Club "A" drew with the Club de Recreio, both sides scoring once. The game was a hard-fought one throughout, and the Club were unfortunate in not winning after having the best of the exchanges.
Shortly after the commencement of the game the Recreio opend the aturing during a scramable in the goalmouth. In spite of this early eetback, however, the Club made a series of attacks · but found the backs and goalkeeper of the Recreio, very safe. The Club, who were slightly better at forward through their persisted offorts were at last rewarded when they scored just be fore the end of the game.
