Tiger Woods demonstrates how to keep your balance on a downhill lie. ⚖️

Well, right now I’ve got a downhill lie. Exact opposite what I had earlier with an uphill lie. I’ve got about 177 yards here. Bunkering away, but I’ve got a I drew a good lie. I can get this ball to the green. So, I’m looking at that bunker there between myself and the flag. A good miss would be slightly left. My natural inclination right now is to take out an eight iron, slightly open it up to try and make sure I have enough loft on it through impact. Try and get this ball up in the air. Because of the decline, I’m going have to put a lot of weight on my left foot. To stay balanced, I move my left foot towards the target just a little bit so I can stay a little bit more balanced on my left leg. And for a shot like this, because I’m going to try and pull across my left hand a little bit, I’m going to kind of help accentuate that by dropping my right foot back just a touch so I have something to pull against my left leg and still feel balanced.
