Brit Golf Dad defines the essential adjustments needed when playing from an uphill lie on the golf course. He explains how matching your shoulder angle to the slope alters launch trajectory and distance, helping golfers make cleaner contact on uneven ground.
Tilt your shoulders parallel to the slope of the hill during setup.
Expect the ball to launch higher and travel shorter due to added effective loft.
Club up (use one extra club) to compensate for distance loss on an incline.
Account for a slight tendency to pull or draw the ball off an uphill lie.
