Video Golf Tip of the Month...

The Down Hill Lie -- by Darryl James

The Down Hill Lie... Here is a great tip that applies to all down hill lies in golf.. The key here is to get your body on the same slant as the ground in your setup position and swing along the lie of the ground... The common fault with this shot is to try to hang back to get the ball up in the air, thus hitting behind the ball.. Have a look at Darryl demonstrating this shot and get out and give it a try..
