In this golf tips video we will examine how to adopt your address position and golf swing when the ball is above your feet

When you find the golf ball above the level of your feet on a sidehill you need to understand what that lie will do to the ball flight and what it will do to your swing.

First, because of the sidehill the ball will move from right to left in flight, or in other words the ball will shoot where the hill is pointing to. Accordingly you need to aim to the right of the intended target.

Second, the hill will tend to have you lose balance towards the bottom of the hill and it will tend to see your club penetrate into the ground. Indeed, the ground being closer to you will tend to see your club digging in and produce a fat shot. In order to counter this and not hit a fat shot, grip down on the club at address. The more the sidehill the more you can grip down. Make one or two practice swings until your club brushes the grass nicely.

Next, to prevent you from falling backwards in your swing you need to push your weight towards your toes rather than your heels. Try to keep your balance at your address position and throughout your golf swing for a clean contact with the ball.
