Always use the club that takes the least out of you. Play with an iron instead of forcing your shot with a mashie. Never say, "Oh, I think I can reach it with such and such a club." There ought never to be any question of your reaching it, so use the next more powerful club in order that you will have a little in hand.
Of the two mashies which the complete golfer will carry out with him on to the links, one, for pitching the ball well up with very little run to follow, will have a deep face, will be of medium weight, and be very stiff in the shaft. I emphasise the deep face and the rigidity of the shaft. This mashie will also have plenty of loft upon it.
It was the turn of the wrist that did that, and Withers cleaned the dear little mashie afterwards, and put it safely in the corner of the garden-room. To-day was to be epoch-making. He had qui-hied for porridge fully an hour ago.
He had left a fit, high-spirited father to drive to a golf shop to buy a new mashie, returned to take him out to Sleepy Hollow for a couple of rounds and found him stretched out on the floor of the library, dead.
It is to effect, somehow or other, that happy combination of excellent skill with a little luck as will result practically in the saving of a whole stroke, which will often mean the winning of the hole. The prospect of being able to exercise this useful economy is greatest when the mashie is taken in hand.
Problems on undulating greens The value of practice Difficulties of calculation The cut stroke with the putter How to make it When it is useful Putting against a sideways slope A straighter line for the hole Putting down a hill Applying drag to the ball The use of the mashie on the putting green Stymies When they are negotiable and when not The wisdom of playing for a half Lofting over the stymie Running through the stymie How to play the stroke, and its advantages Fast greens for fancy strokes On gauging the speed of a green.
She watched him drive for the seventeenth a long, raking ball, fully fifty yards further than his opponent's watched him play a perfect mashie shot to the green and hole out in three. "A birdie," James Van Teyl murmured. "I say, Pamela!" She took no notice. Her eyes were still following the figure of the golfer.
I used to drive such a long ball with this instrument, that when I took it out of my bag to play with it, my brother professionals used to say, "There's Harry with his driver again"; and I remember that when on one occasion Andrew Kirkaldy was informed that I was playing a driving mashie shot, he was indignant, and exclaimed, "Mashie! Nay, man, thon's no mashie. It's jest a driver."
Our first hole, as you can see, is a bogey four, and James was dead on the pin in seven, leaving Peter, who had twice hit the United Kingdom with his mashie in mistake for the ball, a difficult putt for the half.
Trevanion's was only a few yards behind. It required but a chip shot to reach the green, which lay in a hollow just over a turf-grown hedge, and guarded by a bunker. They had now reached the final stage of the game. One shot might win or lose the match. Evidently Trevanion realised this as he took his mashie.
