steep bank was by no means an
easy trick. Finally he was able to
cling to it. but none too securely.
His resulting shot was a MASTER
piece, for he had to cut down back
of the ball, give it a slight elevation
and a bit of carry to jump the de-
preston and stop it within put
ting distance of the hole. Chick
actually pulled the shot and was
roundly applauded. He played it
entirely with his wrists and fore
arms, cutting down directly back
of the ball with the face of the
mashie. as shown in the detail to
the left. The ball leaped to the
green and skidded along some six
or seven feet past the hole.
One frequently encounters such
lies in golf. The sole way to play
them is to cut down back Of the
ball with the face Of the club, be-
ing careful to keep the body abso-
lutely still. There is no follow
through to the shot. The stroke
is the same one you would use in
swinging an av blade to a given
spot.
