Any shot that starts to the right of the line (indicated by the row of balls I’ve placed to the right of the rope) tells you that the face is open at impact (or closed if the shot starts left of the rope). Without the rope, it’s difficult to truly ascertain the ball’s initial direction — and, thus, your control of the clubface.

Opening the face is important, particular for bunker shots.

If you don’t do this you’ll just dig the leading edge into the sand and gently tunnel like a gopher.

Does an open club face cause a slice?

If the club face is open to the path of your swing, you will create the sidespin that causes a slice. This usually happens if your club face is cutting across the ball through impact. There could be a few reasons for this from how you grip the golf club to coming over the top at the start of the downswing.

Establish a Target Line

Put a thin straight white line on the grass so it runs parallel to your lead foot. This is the target line you will use to practice squaring up your club face. Your club face should meet this target line at the point of impact for optimal club-ball contact.

Mind Your Motion

Squaring your club face starts with taking the club back in a measured manner. Maintain body control as you bring the club back halfway, just a little beyond your hip. Bring the club back down, returning to the square position. Repeat this practice half-swing over and over again to get into the habit of properly squaring your club face.

Transition to Ball Striking

After several practice swings, it is time to hit some balls. Be sure to lean slightly forward as you execute your swing. Slightly open your hips just before you make contact with the golf ball to ensure a truly squared point of impact.
