If the player believes that the length of her regular drive will carry the ball too far, it is better for her to use another club, possibly her cleek or her mid-iron, than to try to curtail the length of her swing. In this respect she must regard her driver in a different light from her iron clubs. I have said several times in previous chapters that it is unwise to force a shot with a club when it is possible to use a half or three-quarter swing with some other club that is capable of greater distance. To give a concrete example: if the distance to be covered by an approach shot is the exact limit of what the mashie will do, it is better to take a mid-iron and use a shorter swing. All shots made with a driver, however, should be forced. This may seem an extreme statement, but a moment's consideration will, I believe, prove it correct. The drive is, as we have seen, a complicated shot requiring the nicest co-operation of arms, legs, and body. In order to get all these members working together in harmony, it is necessary for each one to do its full part. If a player wishes to make a shorter shot than usual, the swing must be shortened; it follows, then, that each movement must be correspondingly reduced. Here lies the great difficulty. When a player thinks she must lessen a certain group of actions it is probable that she will leave out some one action entirely. The idea of making a three-quarter shot with the driver will work out in her standing stock still and doing all the work with her arms, or in her pivoting with her body and holding her arms as stiff as sticks. The fault of omission may be any one of several, but it is certain that she will leave out something and, in spoiling the harmony of her swing, she will spoil the efficacy of her shot. It must be remembered that I am not speaking for men players; they must manage as suits them best, but there can be no doubt that, while making a drive, a woman must be "hard at it" all the time.
