Consistent place winner in the big tourna-
ments.
This depends largely on the condition
of the bank. If the bank is not too
rough and too steep the best results can
be obtained by using a putter or a
straight-faced iron of some sort. Other.
wise you would be compelled to pitch.
I will ask you a simple question :
would it be easier to use putter or
mashie on the putting green" Now
use your own judgment in regard to the
question asked. The peculiarities of the
individual case might, of course, alter
the players decision, but the pitch
should not be used where it can be
avoided, as it is the more difficult shot
to execute.
