What you'll find here in the mountains a lot of hills humps and bumps and I'm gonna teach you a short way to make sure that you can handle slopes. Right here you can see I have an uphill side hill lie when the ball's uphill in side hill this ball is going to tend to track to the left so if I take my normal golf swing what you're going to see is a slope going to pull the ball to the left and I'm going to tend to miss my target obviously left. So a good way to hit this shot is to alter one thing all you're going to do here is you're going to open your clubface just a little bit.

OK So when you open your club face just a little bit that will counteract the hill and the ball will go a little bit straighter now everybody asked me how much do I open my clubface you're going to have to experiment with it. This is just a quick little easy tip so you don't have big yank and pulls up the side hill lies. So here we go we're going to set up just the way we do normally this is square we're going to open the blade a little bit and then all I'm going to do is make my normal golf shot and when I do that that ball go live it straighter so here we go set up over the blade a little bit make my normal golf shot and what you can see is the ball goes a little bit straighter and has a little bit better chance to be in the fairway.
