Playing Sidehill Lies
Posted December 5th, 2004 by Erik J. Barzeski
How do you play from sidehill lies? Put more weight towards the uphill side and stay within yourself.
Downhill Lie
Transfer more weight to your back (the uphill) foot and play the ball a bit more forward in your stance, as your swing will bottom out later.
Uphill Lie
Transfer more weight to your front (again the uphill) foot and play the ball a bit further back in your stance.
Ball Above Feet
These shots tend to draw. Open the clubface a little and balance your weight towards the toes of your feet.
Ball Below Feet
These shots tend to cut. Close the clubface a little and balance your weight towards the heels of your feet.
