Please God help me hit the driver...

Too wide is no good, but too narrow can cause problems also. If the stance is narrow with the driver, the LOW POINT will be in front of the ball at impact, causing the player to take a divot, unless a compensation is made. Some people with the narrow stance, move backwards a little, through the ball. Some of them, like Hale Irwin and Scott Hoch, do very well. Most good drivers, however, that I can think of have the stance about shoulder width with the driver. Look at Tiger Woods, Adam Scott, Nick Price, Nick Faldo, Ben Hogan, etc..

What do you think?

Good players who have good balance benefit from a wider stance (power benefits). Not so good players with bad balance can stunt their growth by not correcting the root of the issue (balance).

I wouldn't consider Tiger a good driver. He lacks the Rhythm that he has with his short irons (tries to 'kill it') and gives up a lot of accuracy. He needs some eyes closed practice and/or left leg only to get the 'swing' back - see VJ/Goosen/Else/Couples I would add Greg Norman to the 'good drivers' list
