SECRET Jimmy Thomson Tells

How His Drive Carries Over 280 Yards

(By "Birdio")

YOUNG AND POWERFULLY BUILT, with broad shouldors, a fine pair of hands and strong logs, five foot eloven inches in height and woigh- ing 190 pounds-that is Jimmy Thomson—ac- knowlodged by most famous golfors as the longest. hitter in the game to-day. On rain soaked turf which has little or no run, ho can drive around 280 yards, and with his brassie can smack the little ball to almost the same distance.

He did this quite recently on a 550-yard hole, and was just ten feet off the pin when the ball came to rest. He was asked how he could generate so much power, yet so seldom deviate from the pin. Here's his reply:

from "Long hitting comes club-head speed through the moment of impact. On its way to the ball, the club-head should be gathering speed, reaching its top momentum just as the ball is hit. Most golfers waste their -speed before the club-head ever

gets to the ball"

way for the hands and wrists. You must first get the body out of the way-and then bring it in back of the swing. not in front of the swing.

"But you must have in mind that lie hands and wrists are swinging the club-not the body and shoulders.

ROYAL NAVY BEAT SOUTH CHINA "B"

Goal In First Few Minutes Decides Match

(By "Rox")

***

Fielding the same team as that which beat the seniors, Navy advanced one step in the League at the expense of South China "B", whom they defeated one goal to nil at Caroline Hill yesterday. They have now to contend with Royal Scots, and, if they should win, are assured of third place in the League.

Like their previous match with South Chino “A”, Navy scored within the first few minutes of the game, which half they dominated, and, in the second, were hard pressed to clear their area. South China :"B" were un fortunate, at this time in not levelling the score and going ahead.
