GOLF SIMPLIFIED By Charles (Chick) Evans. Jr. If TZxTTTI I but hot \ TOO , \ ~ OPEN A x-x Bl wT STANCE . may TY CAUSE / \v j / MOULDER L —7>X TO GET IK> THE I he DRIVER For the driver 1 believe any grip is correit as long as it dees not change at any time during the stroke. There . should be a firm but not a tight grip cf the fingers. Opening and relaxing . the hands, just before taking the grip, . may help, it is always easier to make ( your grip too tight than too loose. 5 I like the square stance: by that I , mean the toes must be on a straight ( line parallel to the line of play. In the . matter of stance, however, do not be . too accurate as to style but consider t comfort more. I do not say that the ( square stance is the best, for many of the greatest players use one open „ stance. The position .that gives the t] player the freest motion is the one for him. It always seems to me that when r I open my stance 1 get my right shoulder in the way. but if one can control this the open stance may be better. It < is well to iemember, however, that if J there is one act that takes the pace off the ball it is the opening cf the stance. The distance apart of the feet should be a matter of comfort. In the adjustment one should endeavor to get the ( position that gives the best opportun- J ity for good footwork. There should be - a feeling of solidity. I like to have both j heels resting lightly and evenly on the i ground. Choose your stance so that ( you can best sense the direction line, for after all direction is the most imp: rtant tthing in driving. Choose your stance carefully tfnd then stick to it. > for change is ruinous to any game. ( Different rules apply to different ’ physiques. I like the ball off my left j heel in all full driver shots. That seems ( the best place for me: more forward - it is easier to slice and further back I ! do not get my body behind it, and every good -shot should have the weight of the body behind it.
