STANCE AND GRIP

By BEST BALL

A comfortable, relaxed, well balanced stance for the drive seems to be a requisite for the successful golfer as the three il- lustrations above testify. Each position allows the golfer to make

Both of the latter players, should their palms be opened at this point, would find that these are facing the hole in the ortho- dox golf manner. While this position conforms to the accepted system, it does require more strength in the muscles around the right forefinger for best re- sults.
