which the club is being drawn back ; when the club 

 falls, the weight is again swung on to the left foot, the 

 rigJit heel is raised and the toes of the right foot are 

 pointed towards the line of flight. Throw the hands 

 after the ball, as it were, and never take your eyes from 

 off the spot it was teed for a second after it is hit. 

 The * caddie ' will inform you as to the success or 

 failure of your stroke. 



Approaching. 



Face the hole, keep the left wrist rigid and the right 

 elbow close to the side ; the knees slightly bent, the 

 right forward toe pointing to the line of flight, the left 

 one to the hole ; the right forearm almost resting on 

 the thigh. Play firmly without slicing, and do not try 

 to scoop the ball up. 



To Loft. 



Draw the club-iron back along the ground, and 

 when striking, let the head reach the ball in front 

 of the hands. Sweep the ball, and do not slice it. 



To RUN AN Approach with the Cleek. 



Allow the hands to go before the cleek-head and be 

 beyond the ball when the head reaches it. Drag the 

 club with a firm grip and rigid wrists. Don't jerk. 



To PUT Cut on. 



Bring the iron up straight. Hold the right hand 

 tighter than the left. Bring the hands sharply across 

 and towards the body. Keep the heel of the iron 

 well forward and down. Crash into the turf behind 

 the ball.
