Both barely survived the first day's

Perfect Balance
Needed In Stance
By Johnny Farrell
(As Told to Artie Mcdovern)
A stance which gives perfect con
trol of balance is most essential to
a golf swing. Any position that
causes the body to sway will ruin a
shot. Falling away from or Into a
shot causes the hooks, slices, topped
bails and other bugaboos.
The clubhead must come in to the
ball on a perfectly straight line and
follow through for at least a foot
after Impact.
When the distance the clubhead
travels before Its contact with a
small ball Is considered, the need
for perfect equilibrium is readily understood.-
A variation of a fraction
of an Inch will send the clubhead
against the ball at an oblique angle,
making a straight shot Impossible.
Stand up to the ball in a com
fortably relaxed position. If you have
been hooking or slicing as a result
of body swaying, you will find it
helpful to put the weight of the
body back on the heels Just before
you utart the clubhead Into the
swing.
Japanese baseball players always
ermove their caps before addressing
an umplro. according to Ray Fisher,
University of Michigan football coach.
