By BEST BALL -

Bobby Jones has found that tee- ing the ball a full inch off the ground is the best elevation for his particular stroke. This allows his clubhead to come onto the ball with smashing force and dispatch it on its way, A lower height than this might cause the clubhead to be impeded by the grass cause a contact that was not ex- actly square to the face of club:. Jones' wide arc allows him to come. at the ball in a flat are that tra- vels low along the ground for a considerable distance before im- pact. As a result it hits the ball straight ahead along the line of flight, Such a method allows a wide margin for any error that might creep into the swing for the bail cari be struck efficiently at.. any point on this flat route.

Tests have shown that very few golfers gain a maximum speed at the moment

the of impact and number is even fewer where the players use a sharper arc, which must contact the ball at one pre- cise instant. The golfer who al- lows the margin of error to work in his favour at all times is the one most likely to jot down a low score for the round.
