The Correct Stance

photo credit: D.Hilgart   Try This Method: (for right handers)  1)  Stand as if you are going to shake hands with someone.  2)  Point your toes the way you walk, otherwise, maintain a square right foot to the target line.  3)  Toe of left foot turned slightly toward the target.

If your backswing is slightly restricted, try opening (turn to the right) the right foot slightly.  This allows for more flexibility and a greater body turn going back.  Squaring the right foot tends to restrict the backswing especially where amateur golfers are concerned.

In order to open your stance bring the left foot back.  To close your stance, bring the right foot back.  If you tend to swing from the outside in (slice), try closing your stance to encourage an inside to outside swing-path.
