GOLF FACTS NOT THEORIES/ ALEX. J. MORRISON ' Cent ml T*n>* SWING BETweeM SHOULPeC ANC> KNEES cuseAxy eaeec/se * n ALEX MORRISON says: One fault that all golfers have at one time or another is that of lifting the arms away from the body. This fault cannot be cor rected by swinging at a ball or at the ground. Hence, today’s exercise finds the club being swung well above the oronnd. As far back as 1918 1 made use of an exercise in which the club is swung like a baseball bat. Standing erect improves body ac tion and balance, and makes it comparatively easy to keep the arms close to the body. In addition to swinging as though the ball were about level with the knees, you should also make it a point to keep the club and your hands below the level of the right shoulder in the back swing, and below the level of the left shoulder at the finish. Stand erect, with your head and eyes up, and swing the chib back and forth at this level and you’ll feel increased smoothness, power and better timing in your swing. Practice thia exercise daily at home and at every opportunity on the course. Next: More by Morrison.
