CURING A SLICE

By BEST BALL Players subject to epidemics of slicing often try to cure their trouble by attempting to hit the ball in the opposite direction. That is, they aim to the left of the fair- way, a method which, instead of curing the ailment, only aggra- vates it. In so doing the club- head comes onto the ball from the outside in, giving the ball a clock- wise spin that carries it in the same direction the player tried to avoid.

Tommy Armour employs a sys- tem of overcoming the slice which is as efficient as it is startling. To many it seems that he is advising them to do the very thing they are guilty of doing, hitting the ball far to the right. Armour's advice briefly is for the golfer to make his natural body turn on the back- stroke, with attendant wrist cock but on

the downswing hit the ball to the right of the fairway. 'Such a policy will bring the club- head onto the ball from the inside out, counteracting the slicing spin and

sending the ball straight down the fairway,
