Ball Above Feet (Sidehill Lie)
When the ground slopes upward to the right, putting the ball above your feet.
Grip
Choke down 1–2 inches to compensate for ball being higher.
Stance
Wider for balance. Stand more upright than normal (ball is closer to you).
Ball position
Same as normal for the club.
Posture
Stand a bit closer to the ball. Club might be too long for the effective playing distance.
Swing thought
Expect the ball to pull/hook left (for right-handers). Aim right to compensate.
Contact goal
Clean contact with a controlled draw/pull trajectory.
Common mistake
Forgetting to aim right and missing left into trouble.
One-minute drill
On the range, find a sidehill lie (or simulate with a thick mat). Hit 5 shots and notice the ball-flight direction naturally moving left.
This is a beginner refresher, not professional instruction — see a PGA pro for swing changes.
