Under such circumstances an un-

With reference to wooden clubs l
should say that it is seldom advisable
to choke" them. Sometimes when
you wish to sacrifice distance and
not use an iron it is all right to
choke a wooden club. If you do so,
stand closer to the ball than is your
regular habit.
All iron clubs should be choked in
some degree. Even a full iron shot
should not find the golfer gripping
his club at the very end of the shaft
The more you choke a club, the
shorter the shot will become. With
some people this choking increases
accuracy, and they hold their clubs
at the bottom of the leather in max
ing short chip shots on the edge of
the green. Using the correct club
will prevent your having to do any
excessive choking; that is, instead of
choking a mashie heavily to get a
shorter distance and more height,
use niblick
