"The most common fault of the high handicap player," says Long Jim Barnes, "is his eagerness to hit. The usual result is that he hits too soon in a sort of lunge with the body.'

So the player who wants to hit hard should first learn what is to be done to the ball in an easy swing. The object is to take the club back antoothly and to start it down stendily, gradually in- creasing the speed of the swing until the clubhead reaches its. maximum sreed at the moment of impact.
