Naturally a golfer to overcome weaknesses In certain shots must practice these shots painstakingly and regularly, a process that often calls for a considerable con-siderable amount of will power. In such circumstances it is an aid to make the practice as difficult as possible; making hazards lend a competitive tone to the play. For instance, Francis Ouimet as a youngster used to hit his practice prac-tice iron shots to the green from behind a tree and in each attempt try to bit over the top. Not only was the element of height to be con sidered, but also the fength of the shot in order to land it somewhere near the pin. In time the former tmateur champion was able to carry the tree tops In consistent fashion. This valuable practice r de shots from the fairway a much simpler process and left a rather confident feeling that even should he land into trouble, he had an excellent chance of recovering without taking an extra stroke. , 1933, Bell Syndicate.
