1. With the beginning of the forward swing the body should begin to turn to the left, the left shoulder coming around well up, the right shoulder swinging well down so that the right arm will follow through along the line of flight.

2. When the left foot is squarely on the ground, the right knee should begin knuckling to the left, the right foot rising at the heel, the left elbow pointing towards the hole, and the right elbow tucked in against the body.

3. With the concussion, the club should be given that snappy movement, which all professionals have, so necessary to a long drive.

Suggestions about Both Swings

From the beginning of the backward swing to the moment of concussion with the ball, the mental effort should be to keep every movement of the body and arms in harmony. If any movement is stiff there will at once be a discord and some motion will be jerky. All the hinges of the body should be slightly relaxed, but not unnaturally crooked. The most natural angles of the joints will be the least wrong, and if one swings well within himself and does not attempt to over-accelerate the speed by any movement, there will be that rhythmical harmony which all good golfers know the value of in getting distance.
