heya Folks, thanks for stopping in.


I was just wondering if anyone could perhaps help me get an definite answer to this question i have. see... a couple weeks back i was watching the PGA and i saw an interesting technique used by Tiger, that i've never seen him do before. I tried it myself and it helps pretty decently to kep the lower body still while chipping from just off the green.

Here's the deal... Tiger's feet were pointing almost completely toward his target, along his target line. Which means, they were not 'addressing' the ball.

Now i say, there;'s absolutely nothing wrong with a technique like that. But when i told a golfing buddy of mine this, he was positive that Tiger broke some kind of rule, because he was not directly 'addressing' the ball.

What say ye peoples? Do you think Tiger's unusual technique on that shot was within the rules, or is there some kind of rule that states "your feet must be facing/addressing the ball" when you hit it?

Let me hear your thoughts please.
Thanks for your time.
