Learning Your Stance

By: Jeff Austin

Learning to take an appropriate stance is as important as learning to take a good grip, if a golfer lacks in either of these areas, his swing will suffer.

The beginner must constantly be aware of watching his stance, and not getting off balance.

The positioning of your feet will never be automatic, watching the pros, you will see that they take as much if not more time setting up their stance than they take making their shot.

At some point your shots will become automatic, with little needed thought, your stance will never become natural, and you will always be required to concentrate on the placement of your feet.

Develop the habit of putting your feet in an exact, correct position every time you take your stance. Always visually check your stance before continuing to your shot.

You should also set you body in the same position; the hips and shoulders need to be parallel to the line of flight for the ball. Early in your golf career your ball should be centered between your feet, with your body bent at the hips, not the waist.

The calm, pre-swing position is important because it is the same position you will have at the point of impact on the ball (unless you let your swing go wild that is).

If you have a faulty stance the errors will be multiplied many times over at the point of contact.

Your stance will determine the direction of your shot, so it should be set up carefully.

You may think you are facing a direct target, only to find that your eyes have deceived you and the ball actually goes the direction your body is pointed in.

It is acceptable to occasionally plum bob your shots to make sure that you are properly aligned and not in an off line stance.
