This is n shot I would advise the
average golfer to forget, as it will
Invariably end in continual bad slic-
ing. In playing this shot, l stand
with the right foot slightly advanced
and use the same grip as l always
do. The backswing is upright, and
when I strike at the ball l allow a
good deal more of the right shoulder
to come into the ball than ordinarily.
AS a result the ball is given a spin
ming movement to the right which
finally turns it's flight that way. One
great golfer, when asked how he had
played certain cut shot, replied,
II thought it, just as I hit the ball"
That is good rule--"Think it, The
mind governs the clubs actions.
