The Same Fundamentals

By BEST BALL

Interpretations of the golf fundamentals vary with the in- dividuals. Certain mannerisms are incorporated into a player's game, which distinguish it clearly from others. Observant golfers are often able to tell just who is playing on a remote tee or fairway merely by watching his form. Consider- ing the fact that no two golfers play the game exactly alike, it is amazing to discover how closely they approximate each other's form.

Consider the above illustrations for example. There are four dif- ferent golfers portrayed here dur- ing, various parts of the down- stroke, yet so smoothly does oné figure flash to the next, it appears 08 If it were a aquace of vasks by one hereach instance the bead is shown maintaining a stationary position, chin pointed back of ball while the body turns fredly beneath it.

It's the mellowness of BOOTH'S Dey Gin that makes it so much to be desired in cocktails. Such mellowness comes only from treble distillation and maturing in sherry casks and BOOTH'S DRY is the only GIN which receives stich care in its mak- ing. It is not to be wondered at that the 1st prize Cocktail in the Inter national Cocktail Competition was made with Booth's Dry.
