», WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1919 Keeping Eye on Ball Theory is Called "All Wrong" by For steel knives, forks and tools that rust Glenview Professional ES "The idea that a golfer must keep his eye on the ball in order to be | able to hit it properly is all wrong. | I can play just as well with my eyes shut." This startling statement, which conflicts with the whole-heart- ed belief of the average golfer, is sponsored by no less an authority than Jock Hutchinson, the profes- sional at Glen View, who ranks as one of the foremost players on Am- erican links. Mr. Hutchinson contends that rhythm alone brings a perfect shot and that the determination to keep the eyes glued on the ground de- stroys the rhythmic swing which might otherwise be obtained. Perfect Rhythm Necessary According to the wizard Scotch- man, every muscle in the body must move in perfect rhythm with the stroke. The story that the head must remain stationary runs counter to the simple principle which places a rhythmic swing as the key to suc- cess. Every part of the body must come through with the club in order that the player may benefit from the increased hitting power. Jock further counsels the ambitious golfer that, if he must see the ball, he can follow it in its flight and not stare at the verdant turf. Thus the old-time alibi goes to smash, but, at | the same time, golfers may take a! new hope because of the habit of following the rubber spheroid in its flicht will locate it as it nestles in the rough where dreamy caddies seldom find it. Hit the Ball, Says Jock Mr. Hutchinson was then asked for his views on the theory that the club head should be thrown out and back when starting the down swing. The claims for this method are that it forces the player to follow through and also prevents the hands from coming through ahead of the club. "The purpose of the swing," he said, "is to hit the ball. And when the club gets to the top of the back swing it should be brought right down to the ball with as much force Utensils dull with age and Dijin Zz, 2 7777 as possible. - "If the club is thrown back it has its greatest velocity at the middle of! the down swing, and by the time it| reaches the ball the speed has slack- ened materially. Suggests One Motion "Whether a golfer uses an upright or a flat swing makes no difference. The same principle applies. And, in regard to allowing the hands to come through ahead of the club, every good golfer hits the ball with his hands about two inches in front of the club head. Personally, IT do not teach a throw-out on the down swing, but rather tell my pupils to get the club down to the ball with one motion as soon as possible."
