They imagine the Bearer you get to the hole the easier the game becomes, and conse (q@ently fail to spend sufficient practice on their approach shots, These playa, simple as they appear, are exceedingly hard to master, and weaknesss in this department has cost many a golfer a hard fought contest. It {s a common occurrence for experienced players to get to the green in good style and then toss away two or three un- necessary strokes through carelessness on what they thought were easy approach shots. To rectify this mistake it is well for the novice to make up his mind at the start to devote lots of time and practice on his approaching. Under most conditions the mashie is used for ap- proach shots. The club {s tricky and hard to learn, but, once mastered, the mashie will prove very val- vable. From Jong experience in teaching I am satisfied that the trouble Beginners, and even players with considerable understanding of the game, ave with the mashie is due to a lack of knowledge of the correct rules for playing the club and insufficient practice. Time that should have been utilized on the mashie in all probability had gone for driving and putting, and the player suddenly realizes that he's uncertajm in the very important aad of epproaching, ‘To correctly play the mashte, first take firm grip of the handle, ‘T recom- mend the overlap- \ ping grip.
