By BEST BALL Lawson Little, newly crowned National Open cham- pion can pack plenty of dis- tance on his drives when the pressure warrants. His closed stance for this shot is shown above. Feet about the width of his shoulders apart, the right foot back from the line of flight about two inches, toes pointed slightly outward to aid body turn in either for- ward or backward direction. The ball is off his left heel, with the balance largely on the heels,
From this position, the illus- tration is shifted to that at the top of the stroke. Im- portant here is the left heel which has been raised off the ground to accommodate the large body turn. Tension on the left side is reduced by allowing the left ankle to turn inward. The weight which. was evenly distributed at ad- dress, is now largely on the right foot. The situation here presents a solid yet mobile force which can be unleashed determinedly in the descend- ing clubhead arc.
