THE MASHIE.-Accordin to
]. H. Taylor. the famous five

probably the greatest mashie
player in the world. the mashie
should not be used for shots
over eighty yards. Yet We see
amateurs and professionals alike
priding themselves that a 150 to

A forced mashie shot is about
as indefensible as a putt with a

much more risky than to take the
jigger or mid-iron.
Used for pitched approaches
ranging from ten to eighty yards.
