we.now come to a place where the
green can no longer be reached by a
Inashie, nibIick or a mashie without
calling for too much effort. If it is
Just beyond mashie distance the.cluh
10 be used is either the mashie iron
ct the jigger.
I b",feve susing the mashie iron
with its deeper face and its slightly
less loft against the wind.
TaIt where a higher pitch is re-
-quired or the bal Is to be played
from the rough I favor a tigger
with its narrower blade.
! y there Is any doubt about get
ting home with either mashie iron
~ jiEsSer the midiron should be taxi
en- out promntly rather than crowd
the stroke With less powerful clubs.
For Iron Play.
Your stance for iron play should
be slightly open, with the eft foot
an inch or so on line back of the
right
l The ball should be on a line nearer
the left heel, but not too far for
ward
Having taken your stance, see

back en- a line that runs througr
the, bali in the direction of the hole
The club head should not be brought
back around the body or out from
the ball. but on this line that leads
10 the pin. II Is just as IL. you stuck
out your left fist and then moved
II back in this straight line. You
should hold this line as far as pos
sib'e and only leave il when the
swing must be carried back to pre-
yest berdinE Of the loft elbow.
An Important point to remember
heEes,is that the left knee bends to-
wa-d the ball at the start OF the
swink. and the left shoulder drops
with tIt movement of the knee. On
the b~ck swing the left knee an
LETT shoulder should work together
On. the down swing the right
shoalder and right knee work In
harmony.
