00:23 How to play golf.

00:25 Contrary to popular belief, golf is not a waste of time.

00:29 The transforming of city dumps, vacant lots, and civic eyesores

00:33 into beautiful greens and fairways more than justifies the existence of the game.

00:39 Out in the green open fields where a man can get away from it all.

00:44 [music]

00:49 Happily, the golfer chooses his club.

00:52 [music]

00:54 A modern golfer comes standard equipped with a set of scientifically matched and balanced clubs.

00:59 A tee is used to support the ball.

01:02 The interlocking grip is extremely scientific.

01:06 The club is held loosely betwixt the thumb and forefinger of the right hand.

01:09 Place the left hand, palm open facing away, then slide the right hand below the left.

01:14 Now flex the thumb and close the palm while moving the index finger over the lower thumb.

01:18 Once this grip is mastered, the golfer is in a position to hit the ball,

01:23 which is the object of the game.

01:25 [music]

01:33 The interlocking grip gives the golfer a virtually unbreakable hold on the club.

01:37 [music]

01:47 This is a divot caused by an incorrect swing.

01:51 [music]

01:55 Now let us analyze the correct swing by reducing the figure to its simplest form.

02:00 [music]

02:03 This diagrammatical figure clearly shows the symmetrical design created by the path of action.

02:08 Note how the golfer completes the stroke with an easy, graceful follow-through.

02:13 [music]

02:18 [music]

02:22 This isn't as easy as it looks.

02:24 [music]

02:33 Perfect form requires delicate coordination of the hands, feet, arms, legs, elbows, nose, and mind.

02:41 [music]

02:44 And, oh yes, always remember, keep your eye on the ball.

02:50 [music]

02:56 The putt is the simplest of all strokes.

02:59 The ball is simply hit from here to here.

03:03 However, better golfers leave nothing to chance.

03:06 They consider all the elements, wind velocity, humidity, rotation of the earth,

03:11 time of day, temperature, drift indication, lay of the land, trajectory angle,

03:17 longitude, latitude, and a bit of mental calculation.

03:22 [music]

03:28 This routine completed, the putt can now be made with confidence.

03:33 [music]

03:35 [cheering]

03:39 Missing a putt is very aggravating.

03:43 [music]

03:49 The approach shot, or chip to the pin.

03:52 [music]

03:58 A ball incorrectly hit is known as a hook, slice, flub, dub,

04:03 or something which causes the ball to curve in flight and usually results with the ball landing in the rough.

04:09 [music]

04:17 The golden rule of golf is to play the ball where it lies.

04:23 The golfer is sometimes tempted to remove his ball to a slightly better position.

04:29 This is strictly forbidden.

04:31 Always play the ball where it lies.

04:35 [music]

04:41 Even in a sand trap, the golfer must obey that ironclad rule to play the ball where it lies.

04:49 This may prove a bit trying at times, but that is why golf is known as the character building game.

04:56 To lose one's temper on the golf links denotes a weakness of willpower.

05:01 [music]

05:04 Golf develops a man's best qualities.

05:07 He learns restraint, poise, dignity, and self-reliance.

05:14 [music]

05:27 Always play the ball where it lies.

05:31 [music]

05:47 Playing the ball where it lies becomes an obsession.

05:51 [music]

05:56 [applause]

06:44 [music]

07:10 Having covered the course, we come at last to the 19th hole,

07:14 where we join our friends in the proverbial bull session that ends a perfect day of golf.
