More Rules Your own ball striking, or being stopped by your partner, self, or cither's caddies or clubs, penalty- in match play is loss of hole and in medal —2 strokes. Ball strike the flag-stick in hands of or removed by player his partner, or caddie —in match play means loss of hole, or 2 strokes in a medal. Ball strike flag-stick not moved or in hand,, if played from within 20 yards of hole, no penalty in match play and 2 strokes in medal. Golf Hints Arthur G. Havers says: The most valuable tip that I can give -to golfers of all classes is: "Keep the head perfectly still while the shot is being executed." It is not sufficient to keep the eyes: fixed on the ball alone,, the head must remain stationary in its original j>osition..

The entire balance of the, body during the stroke depends on this one. small item. Remember this and you will eliminate the greatest number of errors that lead to a bad result such as swaying the body, incorrect. loot Avork, knee action, insufficient pivoting and above all a moving view of the ball.
