Talk to a group of golfers and it?s a good bet that the majority of them will agree that the most difficult shot in golf is the side hill lie with the ball below your feet. It?s a shot that often produces erratic and disappointing results. Fortunately, there is a way to recover from this predicament.

Follow these steps:

Start by taking one club more than normal (i.e. a seven iron rather than an eight iron).

When addressing the ball, bend at the waist more than your knees to allow you to turn freely.

During your swing, maintain your posture at all cost! If you raise your spine, you will be flirting with disaster.

One might expect the ball to fly to the right, but you'll be pleasantly surprised to see the shot stay on target. Try this approach next time you encounter this difficult lie. Not only will you be pleased with the results, you will be able to say you tamed the toughest shot in golf.
