In somje cases, the stroke approximates. the are made by the pendulum of a grandfather clock and the ball must necessarily be struck at the low point of the are for accurate results. This leaves a min mum margin for an error. For instance if the putter head reaches its nadir before rea- ching the ball, it might very well contac it on the up- stroke and furthermore con- fact it so near the top that the hall would be topped.
To offset this tendency most offers use as tat an are as possible; the clubhead travell.

Gilligan, a splendid all-rounder. became captam of Susses in 1999 and led England the triumph- ant tournamit against Souc
Africa in 1924. He captained Eng- land's team which lost the rubber
in Australia in 1924-25 but he had
furthermore at right ingles to the ball. With the weight largely
on the leit foot, there
15 no danger of ob- structing the path of either the hands or the putter head and the latter can move forward
reely.
