ON THE CHOICE OF CLUBS.

Pressing a weak club instead of maxi
ing a half shot with a club sure TO carry
the distance is a fault the ordinary golf
player finds ii hard To overcome. One
Of the good results of watching a match
between two professional golfers is the
knowledge they show of the proper
clubs TO use in the different situations
OF the game. To appreciate the lesson
best, the professional match should be
on course that the novice plays over.
for he will he surprised often to see
lufting iron used where he would have
tried "a full mashie' shot, or else to see
a brassie used where the amateur
would have tried a cleek. The reason
is that aside from the lie of the ball.
the professional has always in mind the
distance. the lay of the land before the
green and the force Of the wind, while
the amateur usually only cares to get
an outstanding lie so that he may use
his favorite club, whatever il may be,
and get the bali well away.
