How to Hit the Golf Ball on an Uphill Lie

Uphill lies make the game of golf a bit more challenging. This happens when the ball is positioned level with your feet at address but the slope is uphill. Here we have a couple of simple tips to help you successfully execute a shot on an uphill lie.

The uphill lie is considered to be the easiest shot to play, but if you do struggle with this type of shot the reason for your problem may be that your angle of attack on the ball is too steep. This causes you to hit down into the ground and you hit the ball fat.

Before you hit your shot there are a couple of things you should keep in mind. Firstly, the angle of the slope will cause you to hit the ball a lot higher and shorter than you usually do. You should therefore select a club that has slightly less loft to cancel out the effect that the slope will have on your ball.

Secondly, you will notice that the ball will tend to draw slightly from an uphill lie and therefore you should aim a little right to compensate for this.

Thirdly, you should check your shoulder alignment. The ideal position for your shoulders to be in, is in a position parallel to the ground, ie. the same angle as the slope. Therefore your left shoulder should be positioned slightly higher than your right shoulder. This will prevent you from hitting the ball fat.

A very important thing to remember is that the position of the ball in your stance should be in the middle for the shorter irons and further forward for the longer ones.

Lastly, make sure that after impact you have a high follow through. This basically means let the path of your swing follow the angle of the slope on approach, through the contact area and after impact.

I hope this helps.
