As there are different severities of uphill and downhill lies, to be sure of the ball position and direction , always take a practice swing to find out where the club is striking the ground. Make an effort to swing along the contour of the ground .
If the divot is nearer to your front foot , move the ball forward in the stance . If the divot is towards the back foot , move the ball back in the stance.
As the practice swing acts as a rehearsal for the actual shot , this is the most accurate way of determining where the ball should be played in relation to the feet on hilly terrain. Weight transfer will be hampered so the swing will be driven more by the arms. Thus, a slightly shorter grip will help to get a more solid hit.
UPHILL LIE : Will increase the loft of the club.
DOWNHILL LIE : Will decrease the loft of the club. Take a more lofted club to make sure the ball get up.
