I have several times had me preached at me for the Fanling course, and for golf in the East in general. To anyone who is not from the beginning & follower of Mr. de Montmorency, in other words to any confirmed divot taker, the dos trine seems utterly unsound. Play ing invariably on rain-soaked courses cre may become a little careless and take far too much turf, one may even play a miniature "explosive shot and touch earth before the ball without any very serious results, things which are impossible at Fanling, but which are radically wrong anywhere. The only differ. ence is that at home the resultant shot may be just not right, at Fanoff three very good catches, which ling it is all wrong.
disposed of three formidable bats- men as critical times.
The iron shot in which the ball is struck first and turf taken after wards, in other words the correctly played shot, is always on at Fan- ling, or anywhere else in the world. Not only is it on, but from 5rm ground one gets a comparatively longer shot than from soft turf. After all, from a push shot the ball is doing almost a bounce in a way, and it naturally bounces further off a bard than a soft surface. I am not going to put forward the argu. ments of greater ball control both in flight and after pitching of this type of shot. All golfers must know them, and most will agree with them. Also, there enn be very few who will not agree that the short game out here is difficult, and there fose that greater control of shots up to the green is a thing to be cultivated assiduously,
