Here are a few check points for an uphill lie:
-Make sure to set-up with your shoulders parallel to the slope.
-Adjust the ball position (a practice swing is helpful). In general, play the ball forward in your stance.
-Choose the proper club for the slope. An uphill lie will add loft to the club and make the ball flight higher than normal. An extra club may be necessary.
-Swing in control, with ease and finish with good balance.
-Enjoy the next flat lie!
