I! BYRON NELSON

,___. .____..___.. .

Last fall while taking a rest from tournament golf I sent my

old clubs to Ernest Arey who does the work on my clubs at the Mac- Gregor factory. I wanted a new set but because of the lack of material for new shafts, which has been ‘holding u the production of new clubs, I to d him to refinish my old shafts and put new ciubheads on them as there were no similar shafts available at the time.

When the clubs were shipped back I looked at them and hit a few shots with them. I decided that the lie of the clubheads was too upright and I put them in a vice to flatten out the» clubhead lie on each of my sticks. Lately 1 have been playing my iron shots rather badly and have come to the conclusion that I made a mistake.

When the lie of your club is too flat it will cause you either to hook or push your shots and it makes you squat down too much in your stance. The worst of it is that all the time you are aware youi"re not playing your SilO§£i_(‘Ol'- rectiy, but it may take. a little time to discover why you're not hitting the ball as you should,

During the Miami Invitational Four Ball I kept hitting my iron shots very inaccurately. I would hook one and then I would push the next. Harold (Jug) McSpaclen who was my partner, has helped me more with my game than any of the playing pros and so I didn't hesitate to ask him, “What do you think is causing me to hit the bnll the way I am?" He watched me on a couple of shots and finally said, "It looks to me as if you were swinging the club flatter than usual and you're crouching too much."

We then went into it more thor- oughly and that's when we dis- covered that in fooling around with my clubs I had made the-m lie a little too flat, Ccnseqiiently, 1 was making my awn? fit my club and it was too flat nd I was hitting from a very awkward posi- tion.

You may be surprised that I asked Harold McSpadcm what was wrong with my iron she-ts, i-ut we professionals go to our friends among the pros all the time nnd discuss with each other the faults and habits we all slip into. All the pros unconsciously acquire habits rtrhich are bad without realizing

As soon as I found out what was the matter with my iron shots I went to work correcting the dif- flculty. I had my ciubheads fixed. What's more, I had McSpaden keep his eye on my stance and swing. Whenever he saw me go into that infant! crouch he called my at- tentio to it.

All of which was very mystify- ing, I know, to the spectators at the Four Ball Tournament who followed our match with Sam Byrd and Sam Snead, which they won after forty holes. On one oc- casion Haroid spoke to me about my crouch while I was teelng off. Apnarentiv l’ was concentrating ouite hard on my shot because I didn't hear him and didn't pay any attention to him, ‘He spoke to me again, so ‘sharply that it startled the spectators gathered around that tee.

Judging by the startled looks on their faces they must have thought I was violating some rule. Hui in any case, McSpaden's interest and assistance helped me to get back otn my game. ‘

It wasn't bright picture for Ham-

ilton, the prospect of meetin the stiff-checking, heavier Ca gory club on their own ice. But the

feeling among the East's "11 old men"—all but three are crowding or past 30—was that with a bud game out of their collective sys- tems they'd pull up their socks and get flying.

Calgary described even by Ham- ton Coach George Reddlnz as one of the best clubs he'd seen, scored three first period goals at Regina while Tigers were still trying to organize. Calgary never looked back after that and Handl- ton, except for a flash or so in the second period, never did get or- ganized.

No boisterous demonstration marked the victory at Regina. The Calgary manager, Dave Duchak. wasn't crowing, but coach Jack Arbour said "we're back playing hockey like we use to play."

Coach Bedding said the Tigers were definitely off the beam.
