Edwards writes from Hollis, N.Y.; "Fer me the most difficult shot is a very short chip, one of less than 10 feet, and than the lie of the ball. There is considerable mental strain here because this situation usually fol- lows a good shot which just failed to stay on the green. Therefore, you have a tricky shot to play to maintain the adyantage which you thought was yours until you watched your second shot roll off the green. This short chip shot may be very simple for a cut- shot artist but it usually is a hap- hazard shot when played by a week-end golfer."
