One of the hardest shots in golf to play is when the ball is not lying on flat ground. Most shots tend to be on a slight slope of some sort but not many of them really affect the shot too much.
However what happens when the ball is on a larger slope, in this case if the ball is about a foot above the level of your feet.
Well firstly what happens is the ball tends to start left of where you are aiming due to the loft on the club it will then tend to fly right to left this is due to your swing being more rounded and upper body being faster.
To compensate for this you should grip down the club a bit more for extra control and to stop the club grounding before the ball, then aim out to the right to compensate for the right to left flight of the ball.
