	BBC - A Sporting Nation - James Braid
		One of three golfers who made up the "Great Triumvirate" in the early years of the 20th century (Harry Vardon and JH Taylor being the other two), James Braid captured five British Open titles in ten years between 1901 and 1910.
		James Braid was now firmly established as a leading professional golfer, but unlike his contemporaries, Braid rarely competed outside the United Kingdom.
		As Braid set out on his opening round conditions were calm, but as so often happens at a links venue, the weather changed rapidly and by the time Braid reached the 13th with greens flooding, the committee had taken the decision to abandon play and begin the tournament again the following morning.

		We go back to January, 1921 to read this instructional article by James Braid, a five time British Open Champion This is not only a detailed description of the functioning of the hands, arms, legs and feet in swinging a golf club, but an intellectual description of the golf swing as well.
		His approach, like most of top golfers in that era, differs from modern golf swings in recommending a three-quarter swing for control; while today's top players swing completely and with full force on nearly all iron shots.
		The finish of the swing pictured, with the iron shaft about perpendicular, is in stark contrast to that of modern professionals slinging both woods and irons well behind their backs on the follow through.
