Golf Analysed
BY JOE GLASS.

The advantage in Harry Var
don's method of playing a long shot
from an uphill lie is its simplicity.
Since the ground rises in front of
the ball, Vardon plays the shot so
that the clubhead will be at the very
bottom of its arc at the moment of
impact with the ball and will start
rising with the ball, following
through without colliding with the
rising ground in front Of the ball.
To do this he stands further back
