Seniors Tip Helps Add Yardage With Wider Stance
A golf tip advises seniors to widen the stance when using the driver. Move the right foot back three to four inches at address while keeping the left foot steady so the ball sits opposite the left heel to instep. This shifts weight behind the ball and increases body torque for more speed.
