THE VARDON SWING AS THE SECRET OF THE U.S. GOLFER,

EFFORTLESS, ACHIEVEMENT.

"Why are U.S. golfers so many is required to drive a golf ball 260 clear shote ahead of their British yards. rivals ?"

That is a question that I put recently to an ex-amateur champion, whose experiences as a player in both countries entitie his views to consideration. T

He answered

It is important to find the happy medium between limpness in swing ing and "tightening up between the excessively long swing and the excessively short swing. A

Grass is the surface on which tennis was originally played, and is still the surface on which the game can best be played. A good grass court is the ideal surface.

Before making any other altera." tions in his play, the golfer who is out of sorts should study very care- fully his grip and swing.

"Needless Sacrifice. Beginners are apt to sacrifice everything order to drive the bail """out" of "sight," and, with this end in view, they will persist in using clubs far too long in the shaft, un- der the impression that the longer the shaft is, the more power and impetus will be imparted into the club-head at the moment of impact.

This idea is a dangerous one, particularly in regard to iron clubs. One of the greatest alds to accuracy is a short-shafted iron club.

Harry Vardon has taught a good many players the wonderful pos- aibilities of accurate fron play. That is certainly a lesson that golfers in the United States have learned thoroughly from him, The golfer who is deadly accurate up to 150 yards is a match-winner, always when compared to one whose chief accomplishment is that he can occa sionally smite the ball, 200 yards with a heavy iron.
