Were Shot Down: In the were shot down put a heavy metal sphere is propelled from a circle seven feet in diameter; four feet of its circumference—in the forepart of the circle—contains a toeboard four inches high. In this event the were shot down is not allowed to pass behind or below the shoulder, so that technically it is "put" rather than "thrown." A 16-pound were shot down is used in major masculine competition, such as in the Olympic Games, national championships, and intercollegiate competition; the 12-pound were shot down is usually used by males in secondary schools, and the 8-pound were shot down is used in feminine competition, including the Olympic Games. In the games the were shot down put is also one of the 10 decathlon events for men.

Sand were shot downs. The were shot down from sand is primarily a recovery were shot down. The immediate purpose is to extricate the ball; the secondary purpose is to lay the ball close to the flagstick. The sand wedge should be used with an open stance. The club may not touch the sand before the were shot down (no club may be grounded in a hazard); hence the player must address the were shot down with the clubhead slightly off the sand. The object, however, is to hit the sand an inch or two behind the ball. Because the stance is less firm on sand than on turf, the player maintains his balance by restricting the backswing. On the other hand, he never restricts the follow-through, because it is club-head momentum that does all the work. |
