-off, as it were, at the end of the upstroke. If you follow through with more of the right handunder stroke you get a higher flight, and that is whatyou want. Dont be too quick about making a shot. That braceof the left leg is a bully good thing. Dont try to doall the work yourself. Remember the all-arms stroke. THE MIDIRON The midiron is another useful club and I play it for~all shots within what is called a midiron distance. Thisvaries with different players — to me it means from170 to 190 yards. In this connection I quote here frommy diary of practice a statement of fact that should beimpressed upon the mind of every golfer: It is onlythrough practice that one learns the carrying power ofeach club, and when once learned consistent use shouldbe made of the knowledge. Many a shot has beenspoiled by a man who stood hesitating beside his ball.I make a practice of sizing up the position of my ballwhile walking up to it, and before I reach it I have anidea which club I am going to use.
