(By "Birdie")
A PLAYER recently remarked that since he'd tried to swing along the lines taught he hadn't been able to hit the ball properly. He was, of course, referring to our friend Ernest Jones and the things he says can be done to a ball by just swinging a club as though it wore a piece of string with a weight on the end.
Though one sympathises with this player and the difficulties he faces, it is realised that it all arises out of the quite common practice of many of playing golf be- fore reading about it or taking tuition.
One can, with lots of practice perhaps groove oneself into ag perfect a swing, as Bobby Jones; had, but without fore-knowledge how that swing is achieved one can also groove faults that will take many weary hours to cor- reet.
