Show GOLF PERFECTED BY PRACTICING "Natural Born" Player Is Unknown to Game. "I don't believe there is anything In golf that could be called natural," writes 15111 Alves, a pro. "The game from start to finish is completely foreign for-eign to the muscles and athletic living liv-ing conditions of the human. "I can't say that I have ever known a golfer to be 'natural born.' Golf, to my way of thinking, must be acquired. "The rhythm, swing, stance, backstroke, back-stroke, follow-through, et al., are out of our daily routine. "To throw, to catch, to kick, etc., are only natural. Where does the golf stroke show up In the daily life? "Golf is only perfected through practice. It is a game to which we must accustom ourselves through practice. "The side swing is confusing, also trying to hit something lying , on the ground is very muddling, inasmuch as the player doesn't move. Success would probably be more rapid If one could take a running start at the pill. He would start that momentum,' which unconsciously puts weight behind the ball. "All the best amateurs and professionals profes-sionals of today couldn't play any better bet-ter than the average golfer when they started out at the game. "Golf became a study with them and they developed their game far faster, than the player who thinks he cannot play golf and will never learn. "Hagen, Jones, Barnes, and the rest were Just as big dubs as the modern dub of today. "Golf, they say, Is like a business, often it can be learned In - a short length of time if the player would start learning the game instead of playing it." |
