picture one bas of the Georgian playing out of sand seems to find the ball stop ping within a few feet of the cup Hagen from more serious trouble Is the more redoubtable of the trio You will find In playing from sand that Jones and Hagen use their wrists beyond any criticism with a flick that is part ot a lighter grip Where the average golfer takes a tighter grip upon the club these two understand the art of giving their wrists a chance to vork which Is the essential of bunker play No taut rigid set of wrists are going to be effective for this type of play Off Days Are ew On aS
