I was always under the impression that you addressed the ball with your club and that it didn't necessarily matter which way your feet were pointing. I always use this technique when I am chipping onto the green if I'm say 10-15 yards from it. It helps me punch the ball better without hitting it with the blade and shooting it way past the other side of the green. Then again I'm no expert on the rules, and have from time to time "bent" them a little myself. I shot a 104 on Friday so I can really use all the help I can get.
