CHAMPION'S
METHODS
THREE-QUARTER SWING
A CONTROVERSIAL POINT OF STYLE
Matters of major interest in a new champion concern his nethods f play. Are they suitable to the average golfer? In the case of Padghàm, there can be no doubt that, in the main, his methods are not only eminently sound, but may be followed with considerable ad- vantage, writes a special cor- respondent of the Observer. The principal feature is the slow buck-swing; idees), the movement is so slow na to be almost inzy. There- in lies the secret of timing, the princi- pal factor of clean and long hitting. Phe slower the club is taken back, the greater the concentration of mind and vision on the ball. The coninon fault is to push the swing, with the result that the actual hitting of the ball be coines mere guesswork; in other words, the player hopes for the beat, bus generally whenunters the worst.
Palgham's swing is just a light, easy, free, flexible movement with a gradual generation of speed from the point when the hands, on the down swing. reach a point opposite the right hip. Other features of the champion's methods are the lightness

Vardon would go through an intensive season without the sign of a callouse on his hands, and the same can be said of Palgham. What striking contrast to the present-day player whose fingers are plastered with hits of tape. Grip lightly and swing slow- ly are established maxims of gond golf.
A DEBATABLE POINT
The length of the back-swing is a more debatable point. In the ald days, the club was taken beyond the horizontal line; in some instances, the club-head almost touched the left heel,
