If the young player has learned to play the half stroke in the manner described, and has also mastered the three-quarters shot so that he is fairly certain of the results, he will still find that there are difficulties to be overcome. But he need not trouble himself very much about them until he has acquired accuracy in the straightforward part of the short game. Not until then should he endeavor to play the high or lofting stroke or struggle with the vagaries of back spin. Still, every golfer ought to be fully equipped in every point, and he ought to know how to deal with various courses requiring various styles of play.
