Driving, which is the most fascinating part of golf, is the most difficult part of the game to master, not only because the momentum of the body and every muscle must enter into the stroke, but because everything must work in rhythmical harmony without a discord or break in any movement./ To get the greatest power into the stroke the swing must be in as large a circle as possible, because the law of physics is that the larger the circle the greater will be the momentum. With a short club and standing over the ball, one necessarily swings in a small circle, the size of the circle increasing with the length of the club, and the further awav from the ball one stands. To use as long a club as one can comfortably and to get as long a swing as possible without its being cumbersome is, therefore, the basis of the driving stroke.

Now for a nasty jar!

Teeing the Ball

To make a good tee is one of the fine arts of golf. Use as little sand as possible and with the fingers pinch it into a delicate spiral only a little above the ground, as a high tee affects one's strokes through the fair green. The top of this tiny pyramid flatten down with the palm of the hand to prevent the ball cupping itself; as the one thing in golf, as in everything else, is to diminish friction.
