the latter. The position of the feet
IS the next thing to be taught. The
stance which I should advise begin
Ders to adopt is called the square
stance. The feet are placed one on
either side of the ball, and equidistant
from it. They should be in one line.
The beginner must keep her eye on
the Dal, and her head steady; these
are the two most important things to
remember in the whole of ones golfing
days.
It is a great help to have a chalk
line marked on the ground in the di-
rection of play, and another through
II at right angles. With the ball
placed where these lines meet, the be-
glnner will be considerably assisted to
take up her proper stance and adapt
herself generally to the needs of the
situation. When she feels at home with
her iron, and has cultivated a swing,
she should invest in these four clubs
