FRIENDLY MATCH
KEEP HANDS FROM STRAYING
FOR STRAIGHT PUTT
BY BEST BALL
Two principles are aided keeping the arms and hands
to the body in the putting stroke. In the backstroke it insures keep- bying the putter head from creep- closeling outside the path to the hole.
GRAPHIC GOLE
HANDS
AND ARMS MOVE
CLOSE TO BODY
USE WIDE [ARC, BUT KEEP PUTTER HEAD LOW IN
BACKSTROKE
This is rather an easy thing to do as many golfers have discoy- ered to their sorrow and the fault is manifested largely at impact, when the putter comes back to the ball on an outside in tangent stroking the ball, if the clubhead is kept closed, to the left of the hole. Or if the putter head is opened in a last minute attempt] ta rectify the fault, it, máy ndd clockwise spin that will carry the sphere to the right of the ob jective.
If the clubhead is taken straight back, it has every chance of com- ing onto the ball in the same line with the putter aligned-at right angles to the ball and carry- ing it through straight along this une. The second asset from such a position comes from the fact that with the right: forearm rest ing on the right thigh greater stroke stability is possible. This, means a truer stroke and greater accuracy. Employ a wide arc, keep the putter head close to the ground and the, chances for strok {ing errors", aro minimised.
