Correct set up
Correct finish
• Uphill lie – weight is forced onto the lower foot with the ball
position favouring the higher foot – as the weight is on the back
foot it is important to drive into a full finish position with the
weight rotating over the front foot (posing finish). We all did not
mind this lie! The ball will fly higher and you may need to take one
more club.
• Downhill lie – the most difficult shot to stay with and get good
contact. Once again the weight on the lower foot and the ball
position towards the higher foot to help the strike – this in turn
will make the shoulders follow the contour of the slope – stay
down on the shot for as long as possible and you may lose your
balance forwards after impact. As the ball will fly low take a club
with more loft to improve contact (it will fly lower and longer!)

Poor finish trying to add loft!
