 | Difficult lies are part of the game. Hitting them not as solid as you do flat lies is part of the game also. When you look at the way you practice, we have a great lie on a perfectly flat surface most of the time. If we want to get better at the more difficult shots, then we need to practice them and know how to set up to them. Today we will discuss the uphill shot. First you must decide how much uphill is the shot that we have in front of us. How much is it going to effect the shot at hand. Is it playing longer? How much longer? Will it make me choose a longer club? It is going up hill, so it will stop easier, how will that affect my shot? These are all questions that go into my mind before I choose my club. Here are a few more things to check when hitting this shot. |
| Place your body parallel to the slope: - Aim slightly right of target. (ball is pulled from uphill lies) - Take addition club to adjust for slope - Move ball position forward in stance - Normal golf swing and follow through | |
