UNUSUAL SHOTS IN GOLF

Side hill shots

From a position on a side hill, where the player's foot position is lower than the spot where the ball lies, there will always be a tendency for an extremely flat swing. A hook shot will naturally result from this situation. If it is practical to utilize a hook effect, by all means allow for it, and play the shot naturally.

However, if a hooked shot would put the player in trouble, then he can and must offset the hook effect by consciously setting his club in an open position. The final result will neither be a slice nor a hook, but a straight shot.

If the player is standing on ground that is higher than the ball, there will always be a tendency to slice. If it is practical to utilize a slice effect, by all means play the shot naturally and allow for the slice.

Again, however, if the slice will put the player in trouble, then the player must offset the slice effect by setting or cocking his club into a closed position. The result will not be a hook, but a perfectly straight shot because of the downhill effect.

In such side hill shots there always must be the basic footwork, the body action and the specific club positioning. But because the player is on a side hill and the stance is more or less insecure, it is advisable to utilize a stronger club if the lie permits it. Then the player can use a shorter swing with which there is no danger of losing one's balance and thereby missing the shot completely. continue unusual shots in golf...
