In selecting clubs ii is not neces-
sary TO purchase a complete OUTFIT all
at once. The average professional
or low handicap player carries about
d dozen clubs in his bag. I have this
many and sometimes more.
Has Four Wooden Clubs.
/ now have four wooden clubs in
my bag. Jock Hutchison has the
same number as he carries a long and
short spoon. Jim Barnes has thir-
teen clubs. but the majority carry
only eleven or twelve.
The fewer the amateur has in his
bag at the beginning the better. be-
cause there is a great temptation to
want to use them all 1t is better to
learn a few clubs at a time and learn
them well.
mean by this that If one is going
to try to use twelve clubs for round
any one of them his chances for sue
cess will be very slim. Better to take
one club a a time.
/ would suggest that one purchase
driver for a while. The trouble with
most beginners is that they want to
use driver from the tee each time
whether they hit the ball or not.
do not believe that it Is a good
idea to use an iron. Players who
d
to an iron are always tempted to play
that club for safety sake. This is a
bad habit to get into.
Learn to Use Braxsfe.
Take brassie at first and then stick
to it, but don't try to kill the ball
each time you hit it. After one knows
how to hit it with the brassie it is
time to think about a driver. An
other reason one should use a brassie
is that the club will not feel strange
when hitting them on the fairway.
The midiron is a useful club to have
around. and 1 suggest that this be the
next selection. mashie is needed.
but il is only little brother to the
midiron, though very important
member of the family. I would Sug-
gest that the midiron be about the
same as the mashie, only little
longer shaft and the face of the club
not laid back quite So much.
A niblick is useful at all times. and
might as we'll be purchased in the
beginning. The trouble club is useful
for getting out of sand traps and in
dislodging the ball from the rough
grass.
Few players who stick at the game
more than a half dozen years are
they began with. This is why 1 sug-
gest buying only few in the begin
ming.
Players Change Clubs.
1t is difficult, indeed, to select clubs
shat will last golfer throughout his
career. 1 hardly know of a golfer
who still plays with any of his orig
NAL clubs.
A putter must be secured at first
but of all clubs selected this is the
club least likely to satisfy. There are
tIyl,n ,inI< ffa,-
that they will be pleased with, and
the strange part of 1t Is that 1t isn't
always the putter's fault. Every
golfer must go through the expert
ence of trying out various kinds of
putterS.
These five clubs will suffice for the
beginner.
