Uneven Lie

Any ball position where the golfer's stance is affected by sloping, uneven, or irregular ground conditions that require swing and setup adjustments. Uneven lies include uphill, downhill, and sidehill positions that affect ball flight, balance, and contact quality. These lies are common on most golf courses and require specific techniques such as adjusting stance angle, ball position, and club selection. Learning to play effectively from uneven lies is essential for consistent scoring and course management, as perfectly flat lies are relatively rare in actual course play.
