S KEEPING THE CHIN BACK ONE trouble with the advice "keep the chin back" is that many golfers who attempt to carry out this procedure to the letter find their whole swing tied up. Still It is one of the fundamentals of good golf and the average player should take measures to carry it out and still manage a free swing. Walter Hagen, above, portrays a good example ex-ample of a golfer who can accomplish accom-plish this and swing with no sign of tautness. It Is just such an ex ample as this that shows how Hagen Ha-gen really achieved his golflng greatness. Perhaps to more than anything else Hagen owes his success suc-cess to his ability to relax In any and all conditions. In this case he is allowing the body to turn Independently In-dependently of the head, the head being held back as the anchor of the swing.
