Derek Nannen, a golf professional from Eagle Mountain Golf Academy, has provided some great tips on dealing with uneven lies.
Uphill Lie —
Match your shoulders with the slope
Swing up the slope
Use more club to reduce loft
Downhill Lie —
Match your shoulders with the slope
Swing down the slope
Use less club to add loft
Ball Above Your Feet —
Choke up on the club
Weight more on your toes
Add more knee flex
Ball position
Use less loft to reduce the hook
Ball Below Your Feet —
Grip at the end of the club
Weight more on the heels
Add more knee flex
Ball position normal
Use more loft to reduce the slice
For All Uneven Lies —
Take several practice swings to get a feel for the slope
Swing at 75% tempo
Use a 3/4 length swing
