Golf Instructions on Uneven Lies- By: Margot Oliver

Description : The Uphill Lie

If you struggle with this shot, you probably swing the golf club to
vertical into the ground and hit a fat shot. Before you prepare for
an uphill lie, you need to think of a few important items first.

1. Make sure you take a less lofted club. When you have an uphill
lie, it will make the ball go HIGHER and SHORTER.

2. The ball will have a tendency to hook to the left, so aim a
little to the right.

3. To avoid hitting the shot fat, check your shoulder alignment and
make sure they are parallel to the ground you are standing on. If
you are on an uphill lie, your back shoulder should be a little
lower that your leading shoulder.

4. The ball should be positioned according to what club you are
using, as though you were on a level lie. (A bit forward for longer
clubs.)

5. You want to make sure you follow through HIGH after impact.

The downhill lie.

If you have a tendency to struggle with this shot, the
miss hit is usually a top. Follow the steps below and you will see
a huge change in your down hill shots.

1. Because the ball will fly lower, you can take a more lofted club
to help the ball go a little higher.

2. The ball will have a tendency to curve to the right, aim a little
to the left.

3. If you have your shoulders at address tilted level to the down
slope of your lie, this will encourage the club to swing DOWN into
the ball (correct) and not up in the down swing. Thus, you will hit
the bottom of the ball and not the top.

4. Play the ball in your stance according to the club you are using
(again, a little forward for a longer club).

5. You want to make sure you follow through LOW to the ground after
impact.

The ball above our feet.
If you follow the steps below, you will not hit the ground behind the ball
anymore, and the ball above your feet will become your absolute
favorite shot in golf.

1. If you struggle with hitting the ball fat in these shots, make
sure you are standing taller than your normal stance.

2. The ball will have a tendency to fly to the left, aim a little
farther to the right.

3. DO NOT BEND YOUR KNEES

4. This is the main point, the golf club wants to swing more AROUND
your body, let it...DO NOT TRY TO MAKE A NORMAL SWING...let the club
swing around you.

BALL BELOW YOUR FEET golf shot. You have come to the right placer.

1. When the ball is below your feet, you will have a tendency to top
it to the right, whiff the ball, or shank it.

2. The address is the most important part of this shot. Bend your
knees and bend WAY over at address. You ALMOST can not bend TOO
much.

3. The ball will have a tendency to go to the right, aim farther
left.

4. The golf club wants to swing up and down, NOT around. LET IT...It
will feel like a lob swing, this is correct. IF you make your
normal swing, you will whiff the ball completely.
