During the course of a round of golf it is more than likely that you will face at least one situation where the ball is not on flat ground in relation to where you need to stand, an uneven lie. This golf instruction tip will focus on what we need to do to still make good contact under those conditions.

There are four different situations that constitute an uneven lie, they are :

#1. Uphill lie

#2. Downhill lie

#3. Ball above the feet

#4. Ball below the feet

Sometimes there is confusion between #1.and #3. And #2.and #4. Please be aware these are different situations and need to be addressed separately.

Golf Instruction Tips

#1. The tendency from this lie is to hit the fat shot, so firstly take a less lofted club, the ball will fly higher and shorter from here. Second move the ball slightly forward in the stance. Thirdly make sure your shoulders are parallel to the lie of the ground.

#2. Usually a top or thin shot from here. Pretty much the opposite to #1. For the cure. The ball will fly low from here so take more loft. Second make sure the shoulders are parallel to the ground (front shoulder lower). Move the ball slightly back.

#3. Again a fat shot when you get it wrong. Make sure you stand taller than you would normally in your set-up. Do not bend your knees. This is probably the most important point. The club with want to swing more around you with this shot, don't fight that, just let it. Also be aware the ball will fly left so be sure to aim a little to the right.

#4. Can result in a top, a whiff or the dreaded shank. Getting the address right is really important here. Make sure you bend your knees and keep them that way, bend more than usual from the waist. I won't say you can't overdo this but it's close. The club will want to swing much more up and down or vertical with this shot, again don't fight this, let it happen. Again be aware the ball will fly to the right, so aim left.

So you have read these golf instruction tips and have plenty of information in your armoury, the rest is up to you. Go practice.
