;s Should turf be taken with a
mashie before or after the ball
is hit? Is there one uniform
rule on this point?
Answered by
TED RAY g.
The siege gun Of English golf. WIN
nsr of 1nnumerab1e tournaments and
member Of the greatest golf combina-
tion in history-the team Of "vardon
ana Ray"
The correct way is to take turf
slightly after the ball Is struck. BY
doing that you get more "cut" on
the ball and thus stop 1t much more
quickly than you would do other
wise. BY taking turf after the ball
Is struck, the club is slightly on the
downward grade at the moment Of
impact. I certainly would advise
taking turf after the ball is struck.
There are players who take the ball
more clearly from the turf than do
others, but / do not think they get
quite as good results in stopping the
