How to play an upslope lie (uphill lie)
[ Ссылка ]

In this golf tips video we will review how to hit golf shots when the ball is on an upslope. Golfers know that this uphill lie can cause problems and we’ll examine how to adjust your address position and golf swing in order to be successful.

Because of this upslope lie the ball will tend to go higher than usual and as a result will travel a shorter distance. You therefore need to adjust your club selection.

Next, the hill will tend to push you towards your trailing leg, pushing your weight back too during the backswing. It makes the weight transfer onto your front leg more difficult than it normally is. Therefore, stand ready to push on your trail leg and push forward towards the top of the hill as you make contact with the ball at impact and progress towards your follow through.

Finally, before you execute your swing angle your shoulders so that they are parallel to the ground and your spine angle perpendicular to the ground. This will help protect you from seeing the club dig into the ground behind the ball, for a fat shot.
