Race
He began his professional career at the age of 17 and was known to work hard in his game. He emphasized precision and differed from modern Golf Masters in the great importance he attached to placing hands during the swing. Although the latter concerns mainly the correct holding of the golf club, it also concerns the possibility of increasing the strength of the hands and forearms. The competitive golfer, equipped with such assets, could counter any unrest within the green. He also asserted the need to “educate the hands” so that the professional golfer would pay attention to the position of the hands during the swing, which is rejected by modern teachers because they prefer a more passive role of the hands.
