Stan Utley: Pitch it high from any lie [Golf Digest]

To make a point here, I tried out four extreme playing surfaces: pavement, my back-yard pool, the artificial turf at Arizona State's football practice facility and the desert. Each of these represents a common bad lie you face when you play: hardpan, sloppy ground conditions, super-tight grass and an unmaintained waste area. The techniques I'm using here are the same ones you should use on the course. You'll see they're mostly changes in the setup and how you use the bounce on the bottom of the club. If you know how to get the club to interact correctly with the ground, then it's a matter of picking how far behind the ball to hit. You'll be able to approach even the toughest short-game shots without fear.

I recall he noted to practice off all kinds of lies in his book as well, The Art of The Short Game.

That's a great book, really helped me figure out how to stop skulling the ball.

I have his book as well and I felt like his explanations left something to be desired.  He needed more pictures etc.  to get the just of what his technique is.  Just how I felt on it....
