I have met few golfcis, however, who could start wrist action early and still keep in reserve a final crack.

Most golfers keep wrist action out of the top of the swing.

The firmer grip is taken by the last three fingers of the land. When this is done, the control is obtained over the club, and the grin is not liable to loosen at the top of the swing. Furthermore, the necessary flexibility of the wrists is not interfered with.

Naturally, a golfer, on buying new clubs, is careful about the length he buys. Judging each club by the usual standard, he chooses the right length for him- self.

At least half an inch should be left protruding from the left hand when the grip has been taken up, and if comfort demands that an even lower grip be taken, this should be done. That is the grip for wooden shots. And the nearer the ball gets to the hole, the more will the hands wander down the grip of the club-shaft.
