Slopes: Ball Above Your Feet

  • Aim right of target
  • Balance slightly on heels of feet
  • Place ball 1-3″ forward of normal position
  • Make swing plane more flat

Play WITH the hillside, not against it. This video shows how to adapt to the position in which the ball is above your feet. The ball should hook, and it will if the sole of the club matches the hillside.

Set the ball slightly forward in your stance from normal, place your balance on the heels of your feet, and swing more flat to get the clubhead to match the condition.

Tips such as choking up on the club or leaning into the hill actually set the sole of the clubhead in opposition to the slope, making the shot very unpredictable.
