Choking down on Club

In an ideal world, we wouldn't hit balls into embarrassing lies in the first place. But the fact is, we do it, no matter how good or well-practiced we are. And consequently, it pays to know how to get out of these situations!

One of the most difficult is the sidehill lie, where the ball is above or below your feet. Here are some tips that will improve your chances of a successful escape.



 
 

Ball Above the Feet


In this situation, the most common mistake is hitting behind the ball and making it go too far left. To fix these problems you should:


  1. Choke down on the club. The amount depends on the severity of the slope.

  2. Aim to the right and open the clubface slightly (turn it clockwise). The ball tends to go left from this type of lie because the slope pulls it that way.

  3. Reduce knee flex. It's less likely that you will hit the ball "fat" or behind this way.


 

Ball Below the Feet


In this situation, the most common mistake is hitting the ball too far right and topping it. To fix these problems, you should:


  1. Grip near the end of the shaft to help avoid hitting it "thin" or on top.

  2. Aim slightly left. (The ball tends to go right from this type of lie.)

  3. Use more knee flex. This helps avoid hitting the ball "thin" or on top.
