EASIER GOLF
by
H. STUART Hobson,
WOMEN PLAYERS AND THE SNAP IN THE SWING.
USING THE WRISTS.
"Swing is not everything in golf,” said a player of experience to me recently. "The experts
can say what they like, but hit will always bent swing."
He instanced Indies' golf, and pointed to
women players who swing in classic fashion-and longer than most men-and never get greater distance than 180 yards. I retorted by polating to men play- ers of vigour and physique who hit three times as hard as the average woman, but who do not get any distance worthy of the effort be- cause they do not swing.
The truth is that the golf swing must always have an element of hit.
You can despatch a ball by swinging at it, and you can despatch
The majority of women players, I have found, are using clubs that are far too heavy for them. Many even use clubs that are given them by husbands and brothers.
What happens? The club at the top of the swing feels too heavy, The downward movement is started by a pull of the body-it becomes, in fact, # lug instend of the 24/1 easy movement of wrists. AH the evila
getting the body in first are then found: the club-head, thumps the ground behind the ball, and at beat distance is lost, At

Lack of Momentum. That is the great difficulty of the, golfer who seeks to teach women players. They get the swing, but not the distance, and the reason is just lack of momentum at impact. It is difficult to convince a woman who has hit a good shot that she might have hit the ball twenty yards further had she made the Lelub-head whistle a bit,
It is a fact that if you want to send the ball whistling down the fairway, you must have the club- head whistling at impact.
A careful examination of the technique of many women golfers -President Fillmore will reveal that nearly all suffer from the same faull-until they find the way to remedy it.
The club is taken back well enough, with the light grip that the professional urges. The weight of the body goes back to the right foot. as it should. The trouble starts on the downward swing.
Almost invariably the club-head is dragged down by the weight of the whole body.
