Colts Vital Plays
AS Told by Masters
THE SECOND SHOT
Greatest Pitch Shot Cyril
Walker Ever Saw Was
Made by Bobby Jones.
He Tells of Importance of
Contradiction Play, Cit
ing Hagen's Mastery.

Of the green. and without hesitation
rolled up to the cup and plopped in!
Willie nailed his putt. but he had lost
stroke instead Of picking one up.
1t was as fine shot as could we'll be
imagined.
Pendulum Swing Essential.
In playing iron shots pendulum
swing Is essential. A slow taking back
of the club and n smooth down stroke
that enables the clubhead to gather its
own momentum. For long iron shots
right arm is virtually pointing to the
green. With the short pitch shots the
swing Is the same, but the finish is
different-With the clubhead down near
the ground instead of in the air
The controlled iron shot is one of
the most difficult. and certainly one Of
the most important in low scoring.
There Is not great deal of difference
in length off the tee among the lead
ing professionals. It's around the green
that the strokes are cut down, and just
as important as good putting is the
ability to get the ball close enough to
the pin to get 1t down with your first
putt.
Walter Hagcn's great scoring ability
is in large measure due to his controlled
iron play. He is very frequently In
trouble. but the way he gets out of it
with his maShie and niblick is well
worth the study Of every one who hopes
to excel in golf.

PoOR SfAnCE
BY SOL METZGER.

Bobby Jones says the iron putter
Is probably better for American
courses where the greens are not so
large as in Britain, though admit
ting that Johnny Farrell and other
stars are exceedingly accurate with
aluminium heads.
Abe Mitchell claims that the
aluminium head is always prefer
able because its broad bottom auto
matically takes care Of the stance.
When 1t rests fiat on the ground
you know you are right. Also it has
no loft. A cleek type will not help
the player in this way. And as it
has loft the chances are, therefore,
greater of hitting the ball down into
the ground or stroking it through
from below center. Either result Is
not good.
Mitchell uses an aluminium putter
Of 10 ounce weikht and recommends
it as the solution to ones putting
problems Note in the detail sketch

entirely with his left hand, he docs
not permit his left wrist to bend

swing. That's the limit.
He also cautions players not TO
staEd too far in front of the ball
as that causes them to hit II down

and when Mac poked his approach shot
close to the pin on the fourteenth for
an almost certain birdie three, 1t looked
as though the Atlanta wizard might
lose another right there.
Bobby was 90 yards from the green.
He has said the hardest shot for him
to make Is a little pitch like this,
though I think most Of us who have
played against him will refuse to believe
that any shots are difficult for him
TO handle.
At any rate he used a niblick. and
