HARDEST SHOT IN GOLF.
The Opinions Of Some Leading Brit
ish Players.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
1t was suggested by Mr.. Mark Allerton
the other day that the most difficult shot
in golf is the full cleek shot up to the
hole with the following wind.
1t is a shot that is perhaps the most
difficult of all to. control. and it is inter-
esting to note that in the opinion of Ed
ward Ray, the open champion, the long
cleek shot is, in certain circumstances,
the most difficult.
Ted Ray writes us that he considers
''the most difficult shot is full shot UP
to the hole with a cleek, with the ball
lying on a hanging lie and on hard
ground
c. H. Mayo has sympathy with those
who are finding putting on sun-baked
greens an ordeal from which they shrink.
Personally, l think" he writes, that
the two-foot put is the hardest stroke in
the game, as so much depends on 1t. He
might have added that if the put be
downhill it's terrors are increased hun
dredfold.
1.-The most difficult shot know" writes
George Duncan, lis a full bang up to the
hole with the wind blowing In from
back" Duncan does not specify that the
full shot is to be made with cleek. nor
does he make Rays stipulation about
the kind of lie and the nature of the
ground.
Mr. J. Lawrence C. Jenkins, the Scot
tish international and semi-finalist in last
years Irish championship replies: 'One
day, one shot: another day, another shot
and some days all shots.' He points out
that it is difficult to give straight an
swer to the question, because lone day
you may be playing best the shot you
were worst at the previous day"
"The pitch and stop shot with low ira
jectory," writes Mr.. A. c. M. Croome,
"compels my admiration more than any
other which / see." The difficulty Of this
shot so impresses Mr.. Croome that he
adds: II have never played it because It
seems to me to be impossible.
OF the ordinary shots which occur in
every round. Mr. Nichols. who was put
out of the amateur championship at
Westward Ho! by Mr.. John Bali In the
fifth round, thinks that half iron shot
with wind from the left Is the most
difficult. But Mr.. Nichols has conceived
shot which fairly bristles with hideous
difficulties. This is the shot that we will
have to keep on attempting In our rounds
on the links of Avernus. 1t Is long
pitch with an iron or mashie, on a close
hanging lie, with a following wind. on to
a Well guarded, fast green. Ihe snOt ls:
1. A long shot.
2. From a hanging lie.
3. In a following wind.
f. On to a green well guarded, and
5. On which the ball seems to solve the
problem Of perpetual motion.
It would seem difficult to imagine
shot more terrifying than this; but there
are shots in themselves innocent OF ex-
ceptional difficulty which invariably
prove the undoing OF certain golfers.
