Using Body Power

By BEST BALL

A good two-thirds of the average players strike at the ball in such a hurry that their hands reach the contact stage far in advance of their bodies. Yet fully seventy-five per cent, of this number know that to gain maximum distance the power of the body must be added to the blow. Their fear of hitting the ball incorrectly however in- duces them to forsake this extra yardage, to content themselves with a swing that brings poor results at best. Naturally it is difficult to bring the body into play, during an actual round when one is used to an arm motion only. The place to change is on the practice tee, and here the policy of using the arms and body motion in unison should be so persevered with that the nor- mal reaction will be to play in this fashion in an actual round.

One way of developing a better body turn is to keep the arms stiff and stroke the ball with but a lateral movement of the shoulders. This will start the golfer off on the right track and the matter of cock- ing and uncocking the wrists can be ironed out later. Another method is to scuff the turf lightly by swinging the club to and fro, employing plenty of body turn in the swing each way.
