Gethin Puts Umberto

By THE SCOUT-
Ken Gethin, who will celebrate his 39th birthday (for the fourth successive year!) shortly, has stamped his mark as a big-race jockey, with the right big-race temperament.
A first impression may leave you with an idea of a casual, almost cocky individual. Ken bounces as he walks. A wide, disarming grin, and a leaning for London social occasions, round off the picture.

Thin Contact Cutting What's best in
To play a ball with a “thin contact” is a stroke which I have seen many good players deliberately avoid even though it meant forgoing a good follow-up position. I have often wondered about this, because the shot is not nearly as difficult as it appears to be.
