A nine days' wonder
lasts for twenty years
TN 1931, when the Rolex
Toyster Perpetual, was pro
duced, a lot of people were dubious. A flash-in-the-pan, they called it, a nine days' wonder, a temporary fad of the fickle public. A self-wind- ing watch had never succeeded, would never succeed,
Twenty years have proved then wrong-twenty years of test and trial have proved the mettle of the Oyster Perpetual beyond all question. Protected by the perfection of the water- proof Oyster case, the caquis- Ibe Rolex movement and the extraordinary Rolex self-wind- ing "Rotor" combine to make a **<watch is a million, a watch that, provided you wear it for tras little as six hours a day, will never need winding. A watch, Indeed, without peer, without
rival.

MASTER THOSE SLOPING LIES
A Good Swing And Accurate Timing Count For Little If You Can't Apply Them
Says MAX FAULKNER
One of the tonny secrets of, good golf is knowing how to play the infinite variety of shots involved. It's fine and dandy to have a good swing and accurato timing, but oven they count for little if you don't know how to apply them on alop ingles, for instance. And you would be surprised how many handicap players have no Idea about this vital part of the business. So let's tackle it now.
Uphill Hes, first. My advice here is to take from the bag one club bigger (n. 4. Instead of a 6) than you would if you were striking across tho same distance from the level. Reason for that is that you are certain to hit the ball with a higher, and therefore shorter, trajectory, from this lie.
When you take your address,} the right foot throughout the must hit with the slope and

14: For this Downward much more dimcult shot. the order of things in pritty well reversed. First of all, take a,
club smaller (with greater lift) than you would if you
were playing from a level lie.. And again remember that you must bit down the slope and jet the club-face strike, the ball away.
Generally speaking, the steeper the slope the nearer to your back foot should, sou strike from. Your weights00 picture should bo forward of centre and more on the foot than the right. This will enable you to make the club- head strike through the ball toth the slope. It helps if you con steepen your swing, but the vital thing is to follow through down that alope with the stroko and with the club face held open at the moment of impact.
Standing above the bali: This is another awkward
If you don't know how. First choose a olub that will get the distanco casily. This is Ü shot you can't force. Stand a little nearer the ball than usual the and play it from between fect. Aim off slightly to the left of your objective, for the tendency from this position

to cure this weakness. In this use your hands and arms (rather than your body for power, and concentrate on keep- ing your head still. It is fatal to bob up and down.
WIDER STANCE

On any of these sloping les
strongly advise against the
usp of a brassie. In fact, any golfer over ten in handicap ahould have no use for a brus- se at all through the green.
For your shorter shots to the pin the run-up is usually, more advisable than the high pitch. from such tricky positions.
