The Ball Is Below Your Feet

Problem

Getting a fade, slice, or duffing because the toe of your club touches the ground first and opens the face of the club.

Cure

You need to use two clubs more to compensate of the shorter ball flight and to help you reach the ball easier.

Therapy

Grip the club near the end of the shaft, take a wider stance, and place your weight more on your heals than usual. Aim left of the target with your back foot back a little to help you keep your balance. The steeper the hill, the longer the club you will need and the more you will need to aim left.
