Author: Peter Shine
Article:
Many of the practice areas are flat. It is much easier to hit
the golf ball in a flat surface. However, most of the golf
courses are not. A master golfer could manufacture shots and get
the golf ball onto the green from any lies. A consistent swing
shape could definitely improve your technique in controlling
those awkward lies. This article serves as a golf training aid
to improve your skills in dealing with different awkward lies
and troubles.
Uphill Lie- Golf Teaching Tool
The upward slope just likes a wall, which block the fly of the
ball. Therefore, it should be necessary to add lofts to the club
which means the ball will fly higher and result a loss of
distance. You should address the ball with your body at the same
angle as the slope and put more weight on the right foot and
align your shoulders to the slope. Lean into the hill on the
downswing and keep the club and the body moving up the slope and
sweep the ball up the hill.
Downhill Lie- Golf Teaching Tool
A downhill slope would de-loft the clubface and a club with more
loft could put more height and carry on the golf ball. Your
weight should be set to the left foot and to stay balance when
you make the turn. You should address the ball so it is closer
to your back foot. On the downswing, you should keep a solid
base on the left leg and fold the right leg. The clubhead should
follow the slope of the hill and let the right leg go walkies
with the golf ball.
Sand Trap- Golf Teaching Tool
Remember it is the rule which prohibit to touch the sand with
your club. Check your escape route from the bunker to the flag.
Wiggle your shoes into the sand to get a firm foot holding. The
set-up would be similar to a pitch shot that your downswing
should follow your left shoulder line. In addition, you should
also estimate the resistant from the sand. Practice repeatedly
to judge how hard or how long your backswing to produce your
desire shot. In case you are not lucky enough to get a good lie
on the sand, the followings are the tips of getting out of
different troubles,
a. Ball Under the Lip
The major objective of your shot is to get out from the bunker
and you could not expect a very good accuracy of your shot. Hit
the ball hard up and under to get the ball fly out from the lip.
b. Ball in Buried Lie
The golf is buried into the sand and only the top of the ball
could be seen. A standard bunker shot could not be worked in
this case. The shot should be played further back in your
stance. The club should be lifted up steeply and chop the
leading edge into the sand. Similarly, this setting could be
applied to the 'poached egg' lie.
Rough- Golf Teaching Tool
Similar to the sand trap, your major objective is to get out
from the rough in the shortest route. There are heavy rough and
light rough in the golf course you may encountered,
a. Heavy Rough
Remember it is the rule which prohibit to lay the grass back
with your foot. You could not expect to get the distance in the
deep rough, but just try to get the ball out. The shot should be
played well back in your stance. You should try to pick the
clubhead up steeply and hit down as vertical as possible at the
back of the ball to pop out the ball.
c. Light Rough
The light rough is frequently found in the golf course, and
therefore you may find many instance that you are in it.
However, the shot in the light rough is usually unpredictable.
It is suggested to have more frequent practice in the light
rough to get a better control on this shot. The shot should be
played further back in your stance. A club with more loft should
be used to get a hook with more roll.
