  • Hitting ball fat on a downhill lie

    I recently played a tournament in Austin Texas where I had a perfect drive down the middle only to find it on a down hill lie about 109 yards to the pin. When I hit the shot it was hit very heavy and landed about 30 yards in front of me. Can anyone help me hittiong on downhill lies and what I should do? Thanks, Kelsey

    Hi kelsey
    you should align youself (shoulders) with the slope and play the ball further back in your stance.

      Thank you for your reply! The wind was about 20 MPH behind me and I hit a pitching wedge at the 109 shot. Would you recommend a different club or a punch shot into the green? Thanks in advance! Kelsey

        Take a practice swing and see where your club hits the ground, the ball should be just behind this position.
        Naturally this will be further back on a downhill
