What do I need to bear in mind with slopes and inclines? - Part 1

As soon as the ball is on a slope or an incline, there is usually a lot of uncertainty. How should I position myself? How does the position affect the ball flight? If your home course is rather flat, you will probably be one of those who become insecure when playing a hilly course. It usually works quite well uphill, as the ball is very easy to get into the air here. Downhill is a different story. I don't know any players who like playing downhill. So that you know what you should pay attention to in which situation, four different positions are discussed.

Position 1 - Standing over the ball

If the ball is below your feet, you need to bend your knees more. The ball will tend to fly with a right curve. You should take this into account when hitting the ball. It is important that you keep your knees at the same angle during the follow-through. If you stretch your legs too far and straighten up, you will top the ball.
