BUNKER FEAR

BY BEST BALL

The golfer who spends his practice sessions out of the sand traps and a good part of his actual rounds in them has only himself to blame. Practically the only mystery about the explosion shot is why golfers will not devote some time to practising them. To many the sight of a nice, white bunker is no less appalling than the middle of the Sahara would be to a casual pedestrian. The player knows what he should do, he has read and heard enough to realise that he should hit the sand about an inch back of the ball and let the clubhead explode the ball out. But in the manner of execution he finds he is woefully unpre- pared. His first and only thought is to get the ball out and to this end he strikes at the spot back of the ball with a swing that shricks with tension.

In his fear that he will never get the ball out the player violates all the tenets of good form, hits quickly and lifts his head quickly to see where the ball is going. Oftentimes he need not have wor- ried, the ball did not go anywhere. Trouble shots of this type call for cool heads und the player should remember that he must control himself before he can control his swing. Let the clubhead bear some of the burden, given [a“ chance it will get that ball up in the air.

LAU'S FINE DISPLAY

On the Club ground yesterday Lau Hin-hon gave a grand display for Eastern and it is unfortunate that, with the presence of Tum Kwan-kon and Cheung Wing-chol in the Chinese teams, this useful goalkeeper has had. no chance to play in representative games.

He will, however, be seen in action against Salgon and will then be given real an opportunity of proving his worth.
