Standing on uneven ground improves balance says Alex Morrison
Alex Morrison notes that when one foot sits higher or lower than the other, or the ball is above or below foot level, a golfer should keep feet closer together to stabilize the swing. He warns that irregular footing makes balance hard and the shot harder, while a narrower stance enhances comfort and balance, especially with wide faced irons to follow.
