 The stance is important in every shot that we make and consequently it varies according to what is re- auired, just as the stance Of the boxer varies according 10 the blow he is going to strike or the defense of his opponents blows.

If the feet are well apart there is less chance of swaying and the temptation to hit too soon-that is. to get the body into the spot before the hands have brought the club to it's proper place-are minimized
 THE CoMFORTABLE FEELING
 Everyone should know by a little practice when the stance feels com fortable. Most golfers are inclined however, to put the feet trlite too close together.

CAN'T PLAY ON TOES

No golfer ever made any success out of the game by playing on his toes. When a player is off form one of the most common faults is for him to rise on his toes. l have seen photographs of players at the finish of the swing standing on both toes. This is wrong. The correct way Is to stand with the weight well dis tibuted on the ball of the foot and the heel The left heel rises a little at the top of the swing to accommo- date the pivot while the right foot is resting on the toe at the finish and the left foot is flat on the ground. If you will observe he photographs of well known players at the finish of the swing you will see that this is true.
 When taking the stance, the ball should be teed at a position club length away from the left knee. Take the stance and stand erect
