At address for a short iror
shot the stance is a little open
the left foot withdrawn slightly
from the direction line. AS the
distance range of the club in
creases, the right foot is moved
laterally away from the left. Or
a chip shot the feet are almost
together. on a pitch shot they're
a little wider apart and on a
short iron shot they're still wider
apart.
Iron shots are the offensive
shots of golf. That's because it
is impossible to score a course
consistently well without hitting
good irons. I say that in spite
of the fact that have seen many
low scores posted without the aid
of good iron play.
Whenever that has happened
however, it has invariably been
done the hard way by means OF
phenomenal putting. Maybe you
can offset your errors in iron
play technique with good putting
for an occasional round or two
but never over period of time
Ability with putter is a great
asset, but it can't compensate for
faulty iron play indefinitely.
While playing iron shots you
have to be extremely careful
in judging the distance and
straightness of the shot required
You must also remember that
you have maximum, medium
and minimum range with each
iron from the four iron down to
the nine iron, particularly from
the six iron down, and play each
shot accordingly.

Zimmerman is quitting the tour
for good--after the Eastern
Open.
The Vardon trophy, which
goes to the pro with the low
scoring average for the year, has
become absolutely meaningless
and pros never give it a thought
when they consider picking up
in a tournament. A no-card
makes a player ineligible for the
trophy. There may be a change
in the method of deciding the
trophy winner, with $3.50 for
each tournament he enters going
to the winner
A weekly magazine has a
writer trying to build up Lew
Worsham's shot in the Tam as
a -million-dollar golf shot,
the richest ever made. 1t was
rich one, but a half-million is a
lot of money. But Lew is plug
ging, as his manager, Fred Cor
coran, has him asking for ap-
pearance money to play in the
Eastern Open next week.
Chandler Harper and Tommy
Bolt have tentatively agreed to
play in the pro-amateur at An
acostia Tuesday, a $500-added
event.
One of the lesser money win
ners said he'd like to see Ben
Hogan playing in this tourna-
ment, off the burned fairways.
He'd win it, but I'd still like
to see him play and see how
much he'd win it by. Remember
he's only played in the Masters,
at Augusta, Open at Oakmont,
British Open at Carnoustie and
a couple of others, all great
courses and kept in wonderful
condition. He hasn't had to pick
many balls out OF bad lies in
fairways like we've been getting
because of the drought" The
fellow was not talking against
Hogan. In fact, he was a Hogan
admirer. He was just curious. +
