THE CHINA-MAIL, MARCH 29, 1989

The Singapore Chinese Football Association made history when they arrived in the Colony last Monday by the Boeing Clipper, the entire party of 19 being on board. They are seen above at Kai Tak shortly after their arrival. Mr. John Then, the player-manager of the team is eighth from the left in the back row, while Mr. Mok Ying, Manager of the South China A.A. and Mr. Leo Wal-tong, captain of South China are also in the group to the left of the back-row.

Grooving The Stroke

By BEST BALL

With a straight left arm acting as guide to the stroke above, the clubhend will travel in much the same path, time after time and add- consistency to the golfer's game. Yet to function perfectly the left arm must have the cooperation of the body. This means that the body's position in relation to the ball should remain constant. True there is a considerable body turn but this does not disturb the cur-

vature of the body in regard to the ball's position.

For instance the shoulders are

practically the same distance from the ball throughout the down- stroke. Should the player make the mistake of straightening up suddenly during the stroke or rising on his toes, the distance of the arms to the ball would be changed and possibly result in

topping. The head must maintain its original position with the chin pointed back of the ball. Allowed to move forward with the stroke, it not only reduces the power at the impact-point but makes contact precision uncertain. That is why so many players who lift the head, to see where the ball is going, flub their shots.
