Pulling the ball is not nearly so common a fault as slicing, if, indeed, it may be called a fault at all. The pulled ball travels well and will roll a considerable distance. Some expert players habitually aim to the right and play every drive for a pull in the belief that by doing so they get a more reliable ball than they do with a straight drive. Pulling as a fault can be remedied generally by a change in stance. If a player stands with her left foot well back, it is practically impossible to pull the ball. It is evident that when a player takes her position with her right foot drawn back and her left in advance, her body is turned in such a way that it is easy, if not necessary, to carry the club out across the ball. This is the puller's stance and may be corrected when the player finds she is getting more pull on her ball than she desires.

I shall not speak of the intentional pull and slice at this time. I will reserve discussion of those strokes until later when I shall take up various special shots.
