There are many types of trouble shots

Of course, few golf courses are flat. Here are some suggestions for playing hilly lies.

Take a practice swing and note where the club is striking the ground. If the club is striking the ground nearer the back foot, move the ball back in your stance; if the club is striking the ground nearer the front foot, move the ball forward in your stance. This system is the most accurate system to determine where the ball should be placed in the stance. The long grass will decrease the loft of these clubs and the ball will actually go the distance of the less lofted fairway woods. Around the green, the player must again use a more lofted club.

There are many types of trouble shots.
Here are a few suggestions to cover the most common ones.
Deep Rough

Long grass has the effect of closing the face of the club and decreasing the loft of the club. For this reason, the player should use a more lofted club than if the ball were in the fairway. If a player has a long distance left, the first consideration should be getting the ball out of the rough. Use of lofted fairway woods #5, #6, #7 is advisable in this situation.
Sidehill, Downhill & Uphill Lies.

It also puts the percentages on your side. This is the chess side of golf that is as important to master as hitting the ball well.
Some Thoughts on Putting

The best system for determining which way the ball will travel for you on sidehill lies is to try ten practice balls from each sidehill position and see what really happens.
How to Get Out of Trouble

A good practice drill is the "Toe-up Toe-up Drill". Using a lofted short iron, make half swings with the hands swinging about waist high. On this length back swing, the toe of the club should also point up, and on the forward swing the toe of the club should also point up. A normal weight transfer will allow you to release your back foot so the heel is off the ground and you're balancing on your toe. If the toe of the club is not "up" on the back swing and follow through, look for corrections starting with the grip and then alignment.

So often we get into trouble and compound our difficulties by trying to play a miracle shot to get out. The best approach is to play the shot you know you can play, not the shot Arnold Palmer would be dubious about. When hitting over a tree, take one club extra. If you think you can clear the tree with a 7-iron, take an 8 or 9 iron. If you think a 5-iron will just stay under those branches, hit a 4 or 3 iron. This approach simply gives the player the benefit of the doubt and will take pressure off your shot.

For practice to be productive we must first analyze what aspects of our game need the most work. This can be done best by counting how many drives hit the fairway, how many fairway wood shots reach their target, how many iron shots hit the green, how many putts we use per round, etc... After realistically determining what should be worked on, seek a Golf Professional to make necessary corrections. The watchful eye of a trained Pro can save time, and more importantly, strokes.
