Summary

459: In this Members Only episode, Indian Valley GC Head Professional Steven Snyder joins us for part 2. This time we talk about uphill, downhill, sidehill lies, playing an uphill par3 into the wind, and more. Are you aware that the Golf Channel, the PGA of America, Lee Westwood, Jim Furyk, and Graham McDowell have all given their endorsement to Game Golf by becoming investors? How many golf aids can you say that about?! But this isn't just a training aid, this is a GAME IMPROVEMENT tool.Golf Smarter for Members Only is the only place you'll find (that's why we have to keep it private) an additional 10% off the regular price of $199 for a new Game Golf. But this generous offer expires November 1, 2014. Since using Game Golf to analyze my game, I've learned that I was coming up short on most of my approach shots. Now with this increased data and knowledge, I’m hitting more greens and consistently having lower scores...and a lower handicap. So check it out for yourself.

0:22.3	All right, now let's, okay, so we talked about equipment. We talked about playing the correct
0:25.9	teas. Okay. Now let's get back to those uneven lies. Up hill, downhill, sidehill lies.
0:32.0	Yeah. Some of them more difficult than others. I think the biggest basic thing that everybody needs to think about when you're on a
0:40.6	hilly golf course is getting your body level to the slope that you're trying to play.
0:46.5	For instance, your spine angle, where that is and being perpendicular to the ground.
0:52.0	So uphill lies, you're going to tilt your body and get your spine angle matched up to the ground. So uphill lies, you're going to tilt your body and get your spine
0:55.9	angle matched up to the ground. Downhill lies, you have to go the other direction and try to actually

1:07.6	knack to the side hill lies and the up and downhill lies, even from short game to a fairway wood to a long iron.
1:17.8	So you want to make sure that your body is perpendicular to the ground, not perpendicular to gravity.
1:24.4	Right.
1:24.9	Right. So you're not like trying to go, you know, be straight, even though the
1:29.0	ground is at an angle and you want to be up and down as far as gravity's concerned. Right. The spine
1:34.3	angle to the ground has to be at a 90 degree angle. So if you've got an uphill eye, you want the
1:39.4	club to be able to swing up the slope and not swing into the slope. And then what about ball flight coming off of a shot where the ball is, let's say, above your feet?
1:51.5	Okay, so you've got a ball that's going to go up the hill a little bit.
