Professionals advocate an open stance for the short golf shots. From 100 yards in to the pin. I have messed around with this over the years, not being able to make up my mind which is more successful for me. You will either like or not like what I am about to say.

An open stance is when your feet and hips are set up along a line to the left of the target, while the club blade is directed directly towards the target.

When making such shots, you want your body movement reduced to a minimum. With most of your weight on your left foot for the duration of the shot.

Standing with an open stance will help you achieve this.

Also, an open stance will help you to hit from in to out with little thought about this aspect of the swing. Your back swing will be more upright and you will have a steeper down swing resulting in a sharply descending blow which is just what is needed to pitch the ball in the way you want.

Have a look at this and experiment. However, there are no rules about how you should hit hour shots. If you are having better results with a square stance then please do not change.

All you want is to hit the ball in the air, have it land near the pin and stop.

If you are achieving this on a consistent basis, there is certainly no need to change anything.
