What nice world this would
be for golf pros And the funny part
Of it is that hitting a golf ball is
perfectly natural thing. There is an
inanimate ball which isn't going to
move until it is hit, and there is the
player equipped with club on which
millions of dollars have been spent TO
bring it to perfection. Yet he cannot
hit it right. I guess It will go on until
they make an automatic driver and
magnetic hole which attracts ball
with an iron core"
"Of course. the best advice any pro
can give a duffer is to take a club
longer than he thinks he need to
cover the distance" AL said. Il see
so many shots missed because the
player TOOK club which would Just
about make the distance if he hit the
ball perfectly. He lunges and misses
the shot, the ball falls short of the
objective and he wastes a stroke or
two. That's where lot of the dam
age is done, for your average duffer
only hits about one shot in ten on the
nose. So how can he expect to reach
green 100 yards away with a No. 2
iron?"
