 Mike Claybaugh is back again to show you how to deal with those tricky uphill and downhill lies. Today we're going to talk about playing from uphill and downhill lies. The key to these shots are to fool your body that you're on a level lie. For a downhill lie we're going to take our normal stance but we are our spine is going to tilt down with the slope. Our goal is to try to get our shoulders parallel to the slope that we're on. Because we are tilting forward the ball is going to move a little bit forward in our in our stance and because we are tilted forward it's going to deal off the club so we're going to want to take one less club for the shot that we have. For the uphill lie we're going to want to tilt our spine up the slope again trying to make our shoulders parallel to the slope. Because we've tilted back the ball is going to move back a little bit in our stance. With the club perpendicular to the slope it's added loft so we're going to need one more club instead of the nine I'm going to hit the eight. And again follow the slope with your swing.
