 THE BEST WAY to play the shot Is to pitch and run. The reason for this Is that such a shot calls for Elaying the shot straight through and not getting the ball up and getting stop" on the ball. For such shot about 100 yards in distance. pitch 80 yards and roll 20 yards to obtain better direction and judgment of distance. It is wiser to keep out of trouble than try to play a high pitch with "stop" right to the pin.
