The main thing to be remembered
IN playing into a wind is to hit the
ball on the downward stroke of the
club. That means hitting before the
club has reached the lowest point
in it's arc.
Doing this with wooden clubs
In considerably easier than with
irons for the reason that the
deeper faces and the straighter
faces of the woods are great
helps. On the other hand
wooden clubs are not as easily
controlled as irons, and for that
reason the few hints that | will
throw out pertain mostly to iron
club play.
In playing a low ball it should be
teed farther back than is ordinarily
done. 1t should be teed up more
nearly on a line with the back foot.
The swing must be more upright
for the reason that with a flat
swing 1t is very difficult to hit the
ball sharp descending blow. The
wrists must be held more rigidly.
The stroke Is a punch stroke and
unless the wrists are held firm the
effect will be spoiled.
Another important cOnsidera.
ton is that Of weight transfer.
ence. The weight has to, be
kept forward ON the left foot
throughout the swing. If you
will try to keep the left foot ON
the ground and not permit the
club to droOp at the top of the
swing the chances are that the
shot will come off properly.
What happens when the head of
the club comes onto the ball is
this: the ball is struck d down
ward blow which pinches it against
the turf and imparts spin which
tends to keep 1t from rising into
the air and also tends to bring it
to stop soon after it strikes the
ground.
The stroke is not an easy one to
master. but it is one that, once
mastered, will save a great deal of
annoyance on windy days.
