SUPPLE MUSCLES, LONG ARMS ALLOW HIM WIDE, FREE STROKE.
Smooth Swinging
BY BEST BALL
-10-08
One of the big dangers of explosion shots is the ten- dency of the average player to tighten up once he takes his stance in the soft sand. His is a spasmodic effort, hitting down into the sand back of the ball with a viol- ent effort that indicates lit- tle certainty of a successful result. Contrast this picture with that of Sam Snead above. Snead's swing here is of the same smooth flowing quality' that characterises his other shots.
Snead has a build naturally adapted to ease in swinging. Tall, flexible, with long arms and legs he can make his golf stroke sing for his supper. The arc of his swing is wide, gradually accelerated on the downstroke but increasing in velocity to the point of im- pact, then following through- in perfect order, His style makes for consistent hitting and were his concentration on the game of equal merit, he would win many more titles, than he does.

"Owners are not so ready to pay the breeding fees required for these famous horses, so Mah- moud goes."

Mahmoud's loss to English racing is irreparable, though in the circumstances the Aga Khan is not to be blamed for selling his champion.
