The only right way to play the
irons is to take turf on every shot
in which they are used. Doing this
gives a player more control over the
ball and increases the steadiness of
his play. It also helps to get a back-
spin on the ball when a club of the
mashle type is used.
In playing from very hard ground
hit the ball and hit it clean with-
out taking turf before the shot. Hit-
ting hard ground with the club be-
fore the ball is struck will spoil the
direction of the shot by turning the .
shaft in the player's hands and will
rob the impact of the firmness and
pep which it should have.
After playing. it is a good practice
to wipe the clubs free of any mois-
ture which might cause them to
oiled every week or so. Any fray-
ing of the grip or binding threads
should be tended to immediately by
an expert.
The best way to keep the clubs
when not in use is to place them
across a table, being sure the shafts .
are lying flat. with the bends over
the edge of the table.
Omani [mu—ADVICE ’10
WOMEN PLAYERS .
When the ball is lying ”in the
rough the player is inclined to over.
estimate the difficulty of the shot.
Instead of trying to get as far as
possible, many players are quite con-
tent to find the fairway. This may
be a wise precaution under certain
circumstances. but playing for safe-
ty does not tend to improve oue's
form. It must be admitted. however,
that it is almost impossible to get
any length from the thick juicy grass
which is a ‘diflculty to be feared by
every player on an inland course
during the summer.
This type of grass has an unpleas-
ant habit of winding itself round the
shaft of the club and taking the
sting out of the shot. To recover
from a he of this kind the niblieh
must be used and gripped very drin-
