This George Harrison Is going to
be a hard man to keep off the team,
FOR he has the natural punch. He

world. perhaps, but he is d good,

EXPLAINS
PROPER USE Of
GOLF CLUBS
Chick Evans.
western Amateur Golf Champion.

>
n READER has asked me to ex-
~ explain the proper use of
each club. He believes many
players are totally unacquainted
with the standard usage of various
golf clubs. He says:
Il have seen player with bag
fun of clubs step up and use
putter at a water hole"
He further mentions an original
golfer who teed off 507-yard hole
with goose neck putter These
examples, if not illustrating a spir-
it of fun, would seem to show
need of some instruction.
1t would be interesting to follow,
step by step the evolutionary prog
ress of the golf club, to learn how
the standard driver, brassie cleek
midiron, mashie and putter came to
be so used and called.
Evans Catalogues Clubs.
place the various standard clubs
in the following order: The driver
is for the longest shot, the brassie
comes next, then the spoon, cleek.
midiron, jigger and mashie. The
putter's name shows its use. but |
have seen man putt with a bras
sic, and | have putted with mashie
and midiron myself: but I do not
recommend them for that service,
of course
In regard to some clubs, the diff
ferences are often hardly noticea-
bic. | believe, however. that if |
could hit each ball with equal
squareness off the face of the va
rious clubs, they would lie in the
order named. But here is another
puzzle: | get as far with a half
cleeJl shot as | would with a full
midiron approximately (but | would
never use the shot except when
and l can go as far with a full
mashie as | can with half jigger
shot or midiron, speaking approx
mately.
Players Ability Big Factor.
The distances for each club can
not very we'll be given in yardage
because they vary with the skill of
the player; but approximate dis
tances are associated with certain
clubs.
There is a certain standardized
use of clubs for various distances
modified of course by the lie one
has.
The driver is the legitimate club
off the tee. Rightly used. no iron
club can reach it in distance. but it
lacks delicacy and eXactness. The
driver gives us the tee shot par eX-
cellence and always should be used
as such unless the player thinks
that he can reach the green hole
high with an iron Under normal
conditions, | always use a wooden
club off the tee for shots over 210
yards. OF course. when the ground
is hard and burnt up, one can go
further and when 1t is heavy in
spring and fall the going is slow.
Accuracy of Clubs Varies.
When l step up to the tee I see
in the distance an area that my
shot will reach If played as it should
be. This area, maybe it is point.
but l don't think it is, gets smaller
the shorter the distance.
On holes where accuracy is inn
perative and the direction off my
wooden clubs is wabbly, l have
learned by experience to take a
cleek, provided the distance allows
me to get home. But | always feel
guilty when | use the wrong club.
1t nearly always means a weak
spot in ones game.
