Lesson #10 PLAY THE SHOT CORRECTLY

Since you have started this series, you have probably noticed that we have
been compelled to ask you to consult your professional twice, because we
just couldn't tell how tall you were or how young and supple. The difficulty
with most books that have been written on golf is that some well-trained,
young athlete with powerful hands and wrists tells us how he does it, but
golf is played ~ and successfully, too = by men, women, and children of all
ages. Fundamentally, golf is played the same, with some slight variations
in stance and pivot due entirely to physical differences.

In compiling these articles, it is our hope to impress upon you the
fact that golf se not the complicated, impossible game it may sound on paper.
It may be mastered to the degree of success you alone desire.

The first lesson on stance may have reminded you of the ‘early day'
lessons on the waltz, but stance means alignment and we cannot impress too
firmly that a great part of the badly directed shots, which were otherwise
soundly hit, is due to faulty stance. Perhaps you used the correct stance
for a drive on the long iron shot; or povhase ain used a long iron stance
when trying to get out of the trap; maybe you didn't stand right on that
downhill lie. In each instance even the best hit shot went wrong and cost
you one more stroke.

We ons tell you in writing, for we don't know your physical measurements.
But your professional can watch you for five minutes and give you the answer
so simply that you'll never forget it - and it will be one of the most

interesting lessons you've ever taken.
