Downhill Lie

DOWNHILL -
shorter iron to be used , the ball will fly lower than
normal ;
put the ball a fraction further backward.
The ball will fly low and hard, so land it short of
the green and let it run on.
remember : ball backward of your stance - fly
low ( for beating the wind)
ball forward of your stance - fly high
( for climbing over trees)
The key is to take enough club
so you can swing easy and control the clubhead path.
Take one more club, aim 10
yards left of the target, and make a smooth backswing,
doing your best to rotate your left shoulder under your
chin.
The downswing is merely an
uncoiling motion, but focus on the clubhead's path:
It must travel straight along the body's alignment at
impact or the ball will finish off-target. Get a feel
for this by taking a few practice swings until you're
comfortable, watching the clubhead each time to be sure
it's headed in the right direction.
