SECRETS OF SUCCESS AT GOLF.
CHAMPION REVEALS HIS METHODS.
Harry Vardon writes in the National News as follows -
It has been suggested that I should explain how I teach golf-- just what procedure I adopt when 5 pupil arrives with a request for his faults to be pointed out to him.
The first thing 1 do is to ask him to hit about three dozen shots
in his own way. During this stage. I do not interfere with 'him in the least degree. It is necessary
at the outset
to discover what mistakes he is making habitually.
What studies in human nature I have encountered on my teach ing ground at Totteridge! There was an English earl who would always burst into a paroxysm of joyous laughter whenever he made a good shot. “It's to use!” he would say as he addressed the ball. If I hit it properly, I shall laugh so much that I shan't be able to do it again. And what he said was exactly what happened every time.

There was another man who attributed his foozles to a cuckoo, which, in seasori. delivered its chant from
near by. Every time_1 -wing the club that dashed bird says "Cuck-oo. he would exclaim vehemently. *Win the dance could hit a shot with that happening: He used
to take out a gun to try and shoot the cuckoo, but without success
While my pupil is driving three dozen shots in his own way, I take stock of him There are certain principles the observance of which cannot produce other ¦ than govi results: but naturally we cannot all play golf in pre- cisely the same manner. Some thing must be allowed for the build of the individual,
STANCE AND BODY STRAIN Personally. I prefer an open stance (that is, with the left fost a few inches behind the right - as to turn the body very slightly in the dilection of the hotel; but in the case of a -limly-built person who intinctively Stands spare. there is

The only point is that, when the square stance - favoured (I mean, of course, when the two feet are in line with one another the body. strain begins sooner in the up- swing, and felt more pro- nouncedly at the top of the swing.

GRIP AS A CORREČTIVE. Stance and grip are the first matters to consider when one is trying to improve at golf, and while not insisting that everybody should adopt the overlapping grip, I have no hesitation in saying that often it is a means of curing a fault. People who habitually slice or pull can frequently find the remedy in the overlapping grip, because it takes the two hands work together. and more often than not the cause of the trouble is that one hand is working against the other.
