A PROPER STANCE
Comfort the Foundation From
Which Rhythm Springs.
Mathematical Exactness Inn
possible, Asserts Evans.
BY CHARLES (CHICK) EvAN5-
National Amateur and Open Golf
Champion

In the matter Of stance. advise the
beginner always to consider the idea
of comfort, for comfort in stance Is
the foundation from which rhythm
springs We must understand how
ever, there is certain feeling at
tached to all new things 1t Is the feel
of the unaccustomed- and II wears
away with individual adjustment
To produce a given result in golf
requires the practical application OF
successive ideas First one must con
slider his grip, then his stance ard
so on. If these have been carefully
thought out. with a due regard for
comfort, use will make them compar-
ativeIy automatic
Stances Vary.
When first began to play I tried
all ways to get the stance mathemar1c-
ally correct. Many a time 1 would get
good and patient players to take their
stance, and then 1 would try TO place
my feet exactly where the eyes had
been. This 1 am convinced Is the
wrong way to learn, and even should
golfer have the most exact mathe-
matical instruments for taking ths
measurements of the position Of the
greatest exponent of any particular
shot it would be unfortunate for ths
future of his game. because every in
dividual differs physically
1 believe that stance should follow
a leading idea. but with approxma-
tions and variations from one six
teenth to one eighth OF an Inch- ac-
cording to build MY real thought II
that a stance should be almost the
same for every individual. but 1oz
mathematically exact The whole idea
of a good stance is not to allow the
legs or feet to interfere with ths
stroke; they must not be permitted to
break rhythm OF action 1 am not .
musician. but I suppose a coed stroke
might be called q musical phrase in
which a number of notes have been
used to produce a complete harmony.
Full Shot Stance
My advice then is: Decide your
stance approximately, square for fun
shots, and open for the half or quar-
| ter, but don't. / beg of you. just put
your feet down according to the dia-
/ gram for these stances. but adjust
them a little as you make your pre-
/ liniinary swing
The rule can be put In one sentences
Use the square stance for the full shot,
the open for the quarter and the half.
