Open / Closed / Square Stance

Whether your feet (and by extension, your body) are aimed left of, right of, or parallel to the target line.

More on this

A "square" stance is parallel to the target line. An "open" stance points toward the left of target; a "closed" stance points toward the right. Golfers sometimes use an open or closed stance deliberately to help produce a fade or draw.
