When playing on undulating fairways, it’s crucial to understand how to navigate shots from tough lies such as when the ball is lower than your feet. This shot is challenging for many players because they don’t often encounter or practice it, but following some simple keys can help improve your game. To achieve a good shot from this position, it’s essential to set up with a slight forward lean with your upper body and distribute more weight towards your toes due to the slope. On severe sidehill lies, adjust by shifting more weight towards your heels to maintain balance on the awkward slope.

Before taking your shot, make sure to take a few practice swings to determine where the club naturally strikes the ground and then set up to the ball accordingly. Position the ball slightly behind the spot where the club strikes the ground, as the shot will likely fly lower than normal. As a result, using a higher club than usual is recommended. To strike the ball pure, focus on keeping your lower body less involved than usual during your swing.

The upcoming 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst will challenge players to navigate their shots on baked-out slopes, making it crucial to understand how to utilize the ground to your advantage. By launching a daily Ground Game series, players have the opportunity to improve their skills and gain a better understanding of playing on challenging courses like Pinehurst No. 2. With undulating fairways and tough lies, knowing how to adjust your game based on the ground conditions is essential to success.

As players face undulating fairways like those found at Pinehurst, mastering shots from tough lies, such as when the ball is lower than your feet, becomes increasingly important. This shot is often unfamiliar to many players, leading to struggles on the golf course. By following some simple keys, such as setting up with a forward lean and adjusting your weight distribution based on the slope, players can improve their performance on challenging courses like Pinehurst. Taking the time to practice and understand these adjustments can make a significant difference in your game.

Navigating shots on undulating fairways and challenging lies requires a deep understanding of how to adjust your game based on the ground conditions. By focusing on key techniques such as setting up with a forward lean, distributing weight correctly, and using the right club for the shot, players can improve their performance on courses like Pinehurst No. 2. With the upcoming 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst, now is the perfect time to hone your skills and better understand how to use the ground to your advantage. Join the daily Ground Game series to elevate your game and prepare for the challenges of playing on courses with baked-out slopes.
