The new open golf champion of
these United States is o. chalnplbn

Now. don't misunderstand
foregoing rellllll'k.
Chance travels with
ships ill golf an ill every other
sport. When the. cream of any
spot". enters a. test of skill a ”1'1"!“
in luck or a. trick of fate, may do-
cido the balance.
Illit most men who go into a
championship tourney have but one
aim in view~to win the honors.
Willie Mt‘Filrl‘dni'. lhn luun who
will sport the pro golf crown for
the coming year. had no designs on
the title when he entered the. rc‘

Country Club grounds.
For Iicii‘nrluno belongs to the
old fashioned school of pros who
makes touching his first duty.

fore the instructors. )lch‘al'lane.

title of being one of the greatest
sludtnts of golf-«and one of the
greatest technical golfers ill the.
game. )It‘li‘ill'ltlflt) plays as he
teaches—and what he teaches-r lie
alters ills style and ideas not one
whit when he shifts his activities
front the practice tees to the tour-
ney course.
It was it sort of curiosity as to
how his system stacked up against
that of the other pros that lead
him to enter the. national open.
While he played through the
qualifying tourney ho had one eye.
on his own game and one eye on
that of his opponent—mainly to
watch the other‘s style.
Entering the main event at Wor-
the
channdon-
cesler he played wilh the some cur-
iosity. and held to his style.

this "pull down"
as “very near

"This “pull down" has a. two-fold
purpose. it enables the golfer to
rid his swing of the disastrous body
push .with which nearly every busi-
ness-man player is afflicted. and it
makes the forward swing automa-
tically rhythmic—or has a tendency
to. Rhythm usually is lost in the
forward slving because of the play-
er‘s jerk of the club from the top
of the back swing. The “pull down"
enables the player to initiate this
take-off without the jerk. In sub~
sequent articles this week I shall
descril-o the "pull down" so that the
ordinary golfer can apply it to his
own in”.
