MATCHING YOUR CLUBS TO YOUR SWING.

HOW A COLLECTION GROWS.

Golfers were discussing the other day the minimum number of clubs with which the game could be play

ed.

The minimum, I suppose, is one. A single iron would take player round any eighteen holes though how many strokes he would take is not easy to estimate. Not so very long ago. five clubs might have been enough for the best of golfers To-day the minimum must be placed it seven..

A driver, a brassie, and a spoon are found in the bag of nine golfers out of ten; then you must have an iron. mashie, a niblick, and a putler,

Championship. players will break the caddy's back with anything up to fifteen clubs. Bobby Jones car ries four woods and ten irons, and uses all of them. A more normal allowance. however, is three woods, five Irons, and a putter.

The beginner at golf has no need for a driver. He will find a brassie more handy from the tee.

A mashic-niblick will probably serve him well enough in place of the niblick, for the greater the loft on the club, the greater difficulty will he and in making impact with the ball. A first set of clubs should consist of a brassic, a spoon, a mid, iron, a mashie, a mashie-niblick, and a putter.

Later he will need an iron that can be used for driving at holes just

1930.

In the history of golf, clubs Dave been invented to cure every known fault. There have been pubs de- signed to cure slicing and hooking, and others put forward as proof against topping. The golfer who uses these is akin to the man who harnesses himself in special braces as some players have done-in order to compel himself to keep his head dowh. The theory is excel- lent, but-the practice does not come up to expectations.

Urge to Experiment. What happens with the normal golfer is that he assembles after some years of trial and experiment a bag of cluba, As his handicap shartens, the urge to experiment leaves him. When his faithful clubs have taken him around a number of courses in good figures he la ready to admit, should he strike a bad patch, that the fault cannot be in the clubs.

He reaches the point where he becomes disturbed If he damages u club, and where strange clubs put him off his game.

This is not one hazards of golf; it is something that is, in parts at least, physical. No two clubs swing alike.

If the clubs collected during a number of years by any golfer are examined, it will be found that they all have a similar rhythma in the swinging. What happens, probably, It is probable that after a few is that in early months the golfer -years-he-will-not-be-playing-with-finds that one chub is definitely more

Changing the Putter. The putter will probably be the first to be changed-and it is the club most likely to auffer variations with the many moods of the golfer. The temptations of the profe sional's shop for the golfer who is off his putting irresistible. The harassed player may favour aluminium instead of iron, or he may take to a wooden putter. He may choose a bulk head that seems to give a grip on the ball, or a finer head that curves to the green. Then there are the various putters that enable him to stand looking directly down on his ball, such as those with a straight-socket or a wry-neck.

As his style establishes itself, ha seeks for other clubs that suit him. He may choose one consciously, and he may pick up another by accident. Eventually he will acquire a col- lection of clube that match his swing. And, if his clubs match his swing, it is pretty certain that they will match each other.

A Useful Hint. There is a hint here for the CARLISLE occasional golfer.

If you play only once a week or

so, it is of vital importance to have a set of clubs that match your gwing.

With such a wide choice it is. The golfer who plays every day human nature to try several clubs can master the peculiarities of each in the hope of finding a solution to individual club; the occasional the baffling mystery of putting.

Then, when the golfer makes holiday, he is almost certain to find an iron club with a face that seems to answer his problems of approach ing.
