Abstract

The way in which a first-class player applies power during a golf swing is deduced from a few basic data obtained from a well-known (Spalding) multi-flash photograph of Bobby Jones swinging a driver. Conclusions of practical interest are drawn which throw light on certain aspects of the golf swing that have been the subject of considerable argument over the years.
