How to play a golf shot when the ball is below your feet

Golf is generally played on flat terrain but many woodland course these days have undulations that will really catch you out including when the ball is below your feet.

PGA pro Sam Quirke provides us with a few pointers on the easiest and most effective ways to hit this tough shot.

"At setup, use the normal stance but aim slightly left allowing for the steeper swing path which will naturally cut your ball from left to right," says Sam. 

"Grip up the club up the shaft, as seen in the photograph on the right. This will enable your swing to be the same as it would if you were playing from the flat; no ned to dig down on the ball.

"Remember that giving the ball a slight fade from this position will lose you distance so use a club more than you normally would if on the fairway and two more if playing from the rough."
