At the practice tees or during a lesson, I seldom work with students on hitting the ball anywhere other than on perfectly flat ground with the very best turf.  So in this video, I'll demonstrate exactly what to do when facing an uphill or downhill lie.

Hi Randy, I have trouble lining up to my target, especially with my driver. I am a pretty straight hitter and the reason I know that is every time I hit a shot that I think I pushed, my playing partner will tell me, you hit it exactly where you were aimed. Very Frustrating. I've tried working with putting two clubs parallel and standing on one side and putting the ball on between them. When I practice I seem to straighten out my line, but when I get on the course, I'm back to my old habits. Sometims I hook it when "trying to hit it straight". I have a 9.1 index and would love to drop a couple of strokes, but this seems to holding me back. Any tips would be great!
