When, if at all, is it prope
to Choke" a club?"
BOB MCDONALD

Winner of the Metropolitan Open
championship, 1921 and 1928. One
Of. the longest drivers in the game
though using only a IL 1-2 ounce
driver.
with reference to wooden clubs l
should say that it is seldom advis-
able to choke" them. Sometimes
when YOU wish to sacrifice distance
anu not use an iron 1t is all right to
choke q 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 tho 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 mashie heavily to get a
shorter distance and more height,
Use n nihlick.
