Nevertheless most people neglect this part of their game and never dedicate any training time specifically to that area.

The result is that they have to improvise most of the time when they face a specific uphill or downhill lie.

But you will not be one of those players because today you will practice different shots from all kinds of lies.

Get out on the course or the training area and look for uphill and downhill lies.

Then practise chipping, pitching and your long game from those lies.

If you are not allowed to do this kind of training directly on the course, you can always go to the range and stand on something, e.g. a folded towel or blanket which you can use to fake downhill lies.

Don‘t be shy about it. Practising this way will definitely give you the edge over players who don‘t do this.

Try to develop some kind of routine for each lie, so you are not taken by surprise when you face similar conditions while actually playing. Here are some tips for the full swing.

When you face a downhill lie align your shoulders, hips and knees with the slope.

Use the full length of your club and use a more lofted club. Keep your backswing short and swing along the slope.

When you face an uphill lie, you should align yourself to the slope as well.

Use a less lofted club and grip down on it. Keep the ball further back in your stance and swing along the slope while maintaining balance.

  • Go on the course or the range and practise your shots from different
    lies.
  • Maybe you have to simulate different lies with the help of a blanket
    or a towel.
