UPHILL AND DOWNHILL LIES
This information Supplied by my-golf-space.com
Since most courses have rolling fairways, you will always have a shot or two during a round when the ball is slightly uphill. The important thing to remember here is to play the ball a bit farther forward at the address and take a club at least one number longer than you would if the ball was on a level lie. This is because this type of lie autoŽmatically increases the loft of the club that you are using. Since the left foot is higher than the right foot, the tendency is to have the weight a little more on the right foot than on the left.
One other thing: Try to make the clubhead conform to the contour of the ground as it enters and passes through the hitting area. This swing is more of a sweeping stroke, and very little divot is usually taken.
THE DOWNHILL LIE.
With this type of shot, the ball should be played farther back in the middle of your stance. Take a club one number shorter than you normally would, as you are already hitting down on the ball and you will need the extra loft to get the ball into the air. When hitting this shot, try to make your clubhead travel down with the slope of the hill; otherwise, you may pull back off the shot with your shoulders and arms, resulting in a topped shot.
