...Then try the Upside Down Shot, by reversing a No. 7 iron and swinging lefthanded. Then there is the Hanging Lie for those happy times when the ball nestles on the far lip of a trap; back to the pin, you scoop up the ball with a wedge, and flip it over your head onto the green. After that there's the Kneeling Shot. "For any distance from 180 yds. to 230 yds.," writes Hahn, "this shot is amazingly simple. On two occasions I have rimmed the cup from 200 yds. away using the kneeling stance...

McClung was just as impressive.

It was at Dartmouth last year that McClung set the all-time Harvard scoring record with 39 points...
