Playing the ball off an upslope can help you get more distance than normal.

But there are a couple of changes you must make to your set up and swing.

As a rule of thumb, always lean INTO a hill.

Aim your club and body to the right of the target as you will naturally hit the ball with draw.

This is because the angle of the slope means your legs will be restricted in the shot, forcing your hands to turn over more and close the blade.

The steeper the slope, the more this will happen so aim further right.

Take a practice swing to get the feel for this otherwise you may overbalance.

On level ground, your body is perpendicular to the ground but on a slope this isn't the case.

In order to recreate this, shift your weight more onto the lower leg.

The steeper the slope, the more your weight should be on this leg.

Play the ball forward in your stance as this will encourage your swing to follow the contour of the ground.

Swing as normal but be prepared for an awkward follow through as the slope will restrict your movement.

The ball will fly much higher than normal due to the upslope.
