How do you set up to swing to get out of longish grass while on a slope up to a green? I'm using a sand iron, but have problems sometimes hitting it fat. Thanks

Do you have a problem from a nice lie in the fairway on an up slope?

I think there is 2 options 1 play your normal shot on an up slope basic adjust your shoulders so they are level to the ground, or 2 put the ball further back in you stance and really hit down on it.

But a lot depends on the lie are we talking about is the grass over the ball, is the ball visible ... Also what way is the grass growing it will come out hotter if it is growing towards the green, and it will be hard to get it out away from the green. (may just need to hit an extra club).
