Mj0$)-J FROM OUTSIDE 5-tW IN. 5 J USE ONE CLUB FOR CUT SHOT WHEN the ball is within a BO-yard BO-yard radius of the green it is often impossible to Impart backspin to the ball, for this requires a firm blow which is likely to send the ball flying past the green. In such situa tions the cut shot is often employed. Here the arms and hands are pulled In close to the body as the ball Is struck. The sidespln thus imparted has a tendency to slow the ball up once It strikes the turf. The ball has a tendency to curve toward the right even after the bounce. Allowance Al-lowance must be made for this slicing slic-ing trajectory, but with considerable consider-able practice one can accurately Judge this shot. The main difficulty diffi-culty with this sort of swing is that one who uses it often is likely to unconsciously employ It for other shots. On longer swings an acute slice is the result. It is for this reason that Francis Ouimet recommends recom-mends the shot be confined to one club alone, preferably the mashie niblick, for It is with this club that most of the short shots are played. This lessens the swing's contagious effect , 1933. Bell Syndicate. WNU Service.
