This quick presentation gives some quick and easy tips for adjusting for green slope while golfing.

1. Adjusting for Green Slope in Golf

2. Most golfers get baffled when they find themselves having to take a shot at a slope area of the course, thinking the shot at this point will be more difficult. This is untrue, as all you need to do is to adjust for the green slope.

3. The choice of club, your stance, and set-up are the main elements required to adjust to successfully hit the golf ball. Your swing will most likely remain the same as if you are on a flat area. Outlined below are the considerations you need to make and steps to help with adjusting for the green slope.

4. Uphill or Downhill

5. These are the two major slope positions you can be faced with while golfing. Adjusting for the green slope in these situations require that you use the slope to your advantage, rather that letting it work against you.

6. Uphill Lie

7. For instance, when faced with an uphill lie, you would need your ball to fly higher, especially if the slope is very steep. In this situation, it is better for you to use a longer club than your normal choice for best results. Also, in this situation, you need to transfer the bulk of your body weight from your trailing leg to the leading leg for greater balance during the downswing, and while you hit the ball. This way, you’ll be adjusting for the green’s uphill slope.

8. Downhill Lie

9. Conversely, all these steps will come in the reverse when you are faced with playing a shot in a downhill situation. Extra care is required here while adjusting for the green slope, because the downhill slope is capable of giving the ball an extra roll. On a very steep downhill lie, you will need to better control your backswing, most likely using your wrists as a hinge, in order not to hit the ground while on the backswing.

10. Be Sure to Adjust Your Setup

11. In both of these situations, the ball will either be positioned below or above your feet, therefore your positioning and stance need to be carefully set-up for a superb shot. Adjusting for the green slope when the ball is below your feet means you should be shifting your body weight more to your heels and aiming much more to the left if you are a right handed player. A left handed player will do the same but aim more to the left.

12. When the ball is above your feet, the above actions will be carried out the other way around.

13. Finally, confidence and extensive practice of the above tips are the extra elements you need for success when adjusting for the green slope. Over time, you will get more confident and feel comfortable delivering shots from the slope and hill sides.
