difficult to master. Many q man has worked OFT q
game which yields cards we'll down in the eighties

The chief reason why players find il difficult to
bring the club under subjectiOn is that they Try 10

they must take Eln after the ball TO get away 4
real cleek shot
The long. low flying ball which gets distances
equal to a wooden shot straight the pin with the
cleek is well woEth all the practice it takes to ac-
