I b - "el CONCENTRATE ON STROKING BALL LUCKY days on the putting green in which many of the long ones go down are all very well, but they are generally few and far between. After all, good putting Is more than a casual fortunate round. Consistency, Consist-ency, of course, plays its part. Doubtful, hesitant putters will generally gen-erally have a jerky, uneasy stroke with the club held In a tight grip. It is well to try to eliminate this fear of missing entirely. A player has no control over the ball once it Is struck and worrying will certainly cer-tainly not help the result. Bobby Jones once said : "If a man will concentrate con-centrate on hitting the ball on the line which he thinks is the right one with a speed which he deems proper he will soon find that he is a much improved putter." The golfer to carry out this must concentrate on the actual contact with the ball. This means keeping the eye on the sphere and forgetting about the many things that might keep the ball from sinking. Jones himself Is regarded as one of the world's premier putters. Bobby keeps the clubhand traveling low along the line in direct line for the hole. The right arm is kept near the body and he judges the speed of the stroke so that the ball will die at the hole, thus enhancing the chances of Its dropping Into the cup. '5, 1933, Bell Syndicate.
