In the case of golf, 1 would think that with all the left is the "major" Feye. For this reason. It helps to keep the head down for the longest possible time, and, at least, # keeps It there for the time of hiiting the bail, which is what is wanted.
Just try looking at the ball through the right eye, and then calculate the precentage of shots which are spoiled through lifting the head too early.
With the left eye on the ball and with the head tilted to the right, even if there is the tendency to lift the head at the moment of Impact, there is yet the range of the right eye to cross the ball before it is actually out of sight. By which time, the ball should hove been struck.

He wants to be the first race car driver to cover 200 milles in an hour.
THE QUESTION of holding an open tenuls tournament, in which both professionals and amateurs can parilcipate, has been the sub- Jeet of controversy for a long time, and Fred Perry, former British
