    The Stance

    Your stance can make or break your game, so you need to take the time to ensure that you practice and learn the way a good stance feels. However, you don’t want to stress out over your stance to the point that it begins to hinder your game. Many people will become so caught up in their stance that they lose sight of the real purpose, which is to have a perfect game. A perfect game is more than a good stance. You don’t want to ruin a good game by stressing over your stance.
    This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t work on your stance though. The professionals will tell you that your swing and your stance are the heart of the game and that they need to be good for you to be good. You arms should be in a fixed position, but never rigid. Many professionals will also tell you that it’s a good idea to begin with your arms hanging loosely at your side. Your feet should be place with your body slightly turned to the left, with the ball directly under the logo on your shirt.
    Your stance should also always begin with you being relaxed. This can actually be the most difficult part of the stance as people tend to become tense as they try to remember all of the stance rules.
    Another affect on your stance is going to actually be your gender. There is a general consensus that most women need a wider stance from men. Balance is crucial and due to the fact that women are built differently than men in the hips and pelvis of men and women are different, women often need a wider stance. The male’s hips tend to be more rigid than female. Their body also reacts to the counter-swing and follows through differently as well. A woman’s hips are made to swing more easily and this can often give them an advantage. Finding a comfortable position is a process of trial and error, but once you find it you want to remember that feeling and practice it every time you play.
    Finding the comfort zone is important, but you may have to move out of it in order to work on your stance. You shouldn’t stand in a position that is going to make you sore the next day, but you ma experience some discomfort as you use muscles you never knew you had before and as your body adjusts to this new activity. Remember to loosen your muscles up at the driving range before you hit the course.
    Your stance is only a part of your game, but it is a very important aspect of your game. Coupled with the grip your swing, it makes up the ability to play a consistent game of golf. Don’t forget these aspects of the game as you practice and work on your stance.
