4-9
The average player, with little knowledge of shot technique in traps, has a couple of strokes al- ready counted against him when he starts a round. This fear of landing in trouble is reflected in the other shots which might place him there.
His play instead of
being bold is more or less defen- at sive, an attitude which may times lead to a fair score but de- tracts largely from the enjoyment' more' of the game. How much
if secure this player would feel he made it a point to become ac- quainted with these trouble shots. Such shots have been painted fiercely in poem and story for: many years. but with the heavy exploding clubs used to-day much of the terror has vanished. -The big difficulty lies in the player's attitude toward the shot. If he is over anxious very likely he will raise his head to see' where the ball is going. Such a
to^ .movement is not calculated
improve the result. One thing the player must do and that is keep his head down. Keep looking at the spot the ball rested on, long after the club has ploughed into the sand behind and burrow- ed through and up to explode the ball out.
