vantage
The golfer who uses iron from the tee
has come in for good deal of criticism,
but if the hole or course is not of champion
ship length, or in championship condition,
a player hardly can be blamed for using a
club suited to the work. Driving with a
wooden club is for distance. and If distance
is needed and "A player is straining with an
iron he is not using the club best suited for
his work and is trying to cover up a weak

readers will try to learn the wooden shot,

one of the game. In giving directions for
making it | shall simply try to describe my
