Golf Tips
The idea in this article is to try to make sure we
are making the best attempt to play the shots
correctly and give ourselves the best chance of
making good contact on the ball.
Sloping lies:
• There are 4 types of slope – ball above
feet, ball below feet, uphill lie and
downhill lie.
• Ball above feet – very easy, grip down
the club and then swing the same. The
majority don’t mind this shot but the ball
is likely to be pulled left as the clubface
will point slightly this way. Club selection
can remain the same.
• Ball below feet – this one catches us
out! Bend more over from the waist
(more spine angle) and NOT the knees.
We will be restricted in our movement
because of this. Balance and rotation is
hard through impact so balance maybe
lost. Maintain your spine angle and aim
slightly left as the ball will move from left
to right. Club selection can remain the
same.
