Lousy Lie? Here’s What To Do!

Are you tired of hitting fat shots out of divots and other tough lies? Kellie Stenzel shares a simple tip that will change your game. Learn to "lean for a lousy lie" to ensure you hit the ball first and get out of trouble every time.

Your Action Plan

What: Your goal is to learn a simple setup adjustment that helps you hit down on the ball from a difficult lie, such as a divot.

Why: When your ball is in a divot, your club is likely to hit the ground behind the ball, leading to a poor shot. This technique helps the club get to the ball first, ensuring you make solid contact.

How:

  • Lean Toward the Target: At your setup, lean your body slightly toward the target, dropping your lead shoulder.
  • Adjust Your Club: Because this setup makes the club less lofted, consider using a more lofted club than you normally would for the distance.
  • Hit Down and Through: Focus on hitting down on the ball, as the steeper angle will allow the club to go down and into the ground after impact.
