Lesson #4 MORE ABOUT STANCE

Don't get the impression, while reading these lessons, that golf is a
complicated game, because there are many things to be remembered. Just
curb your impatience, and watch your enjoyment of the game grow.

After your professional has helped you attain the proper stance in
accordance with your physical build, many of the fundamental points will
be much easier for you to remember. Let me assure you that if you have
learned to count trumps, you will just as easily grasp these fundamentals
as you advance in the game.

After you have taken your proper stance - relax, "unlax", and take it
easy. If you feel tight, turn around and walk away; then, start all over
again. You can't hit the ball right with a feeling of being all "bound up".
You must feel free and at ease. Sometimes, this tension can be relieved
by slightly bending your kmees during the address. Remember the waggle is
an aid to relaxation and concentration, but don't lose the entire value of
it by an awkward, choppy, meaningless "feel" of the club-head. See that
the waggle is entirely along the line of flight, so that it prepares the
way for a rhythmic swing. But don't overdo it. ‘Two or three is sufficient,

for a prolonged waggle generally means a poor shot.
