BEN HOGAN'S "POWER GOLF"

16.-Judge Carefully With The Irons

Pride will inspire most golfers to do a certain amount of practice work on their tee shots and their putting, but the same gents will let their iron play deteriorate without giving it a thought. Yet, Iron play is overy bit as important to them as an ability to hit a teò shot straight. and to putt accurately because iron shots are the accuracy shots of golf.

By that I don't mean to imply that you don't have to be accurate with your wood clubs. You do. The difference lies in the fact that the margin of error for iron shots is less than for your wood clubs.

Iron shots are also the offensive shots of golf. That's: because it is impossible to score a course consistently well without hitting good iron shots. I say that in spite of the fact that I have seen many low scores posted without the aid of good iron play.

Whenever that has happened, your stanco varles”: A- 'good however, it has invariably been key to the amount of this done the hard way by means variation is to remember that of phenomenal putting.
