The uphill lie is the easiest uneven lie shot in golf.  If you struggle with this shot, you probably swing the golf club to vertical into the ground and hit a fat shot. There are a few things you should focus on and know before hitting your shot on an uphill lie.

  1. Make sure you take a less lofted club. This will make the ball go HIGHER and SHORTER.
  2. The ball will have a tendency to hook to the left, so you should aim a little to the right.
  3. To avoid hitting the shot fat, check your shoulder alignment.  Your shoulders should be parallel to the ground you are standing on. For the uphill lie, your back shoulder should be a little lower that your leading shoulder.
  4. The ball should be positioned according to what club you are using, as though you were on a level lie. (A bit forward for longer clubs and a bit back for shorter clubs.)
  5. You want to make sure you have a HIGH follow through after impact.
