Last year I was averaging over 120 on most courses and sliced my driver so much, it make a boomerang jealous. Rick's videos have not only got me hitting straight (most of the time) but I broke 100 for the first time ever this past weekend. Thanks for the awesome tips Rick!

0:45 - Above your feet
3:59 - Ball below your feet
6:40 - Uphill lie
9:44 - Downhill lie

I appreciate your teaching and explanations. They've been incredibly useful to me. Timestamps for people looking for a quick reference.

I swear Rick knows exactly what I’m struggling with at any point in time

[rodgerdegeorge]

How do you not love this guy ? Well spoken, the accent and solid advice . Keep up the good work Rick . We appreciate you in Beaverton, Oregon .

[patrickcosgrove]

I love how you explain every shots, even when sometimes you're shots don't go exactly where you want them to ! For us less than perfect players, this makes us feel really good ! We know exactly what you are trying to say and understand what you are trying to show us ! We understand that when we try, it's not going to be perfect, the first time ! My nemesis has always been the downhill lies, you explained it perfectly, how it needs to be played! Thank you, Patrick

[chrisg]

Such high quality, and well organized content. Really appreciate the straightforward practical approach to learning.

[yeetyeet]

You can’t lie that the noise that the club makes when the ball get hit is INSANELY SATISFYING😉

[varorafinance]

Rick I must say this is one of the most useful videos you’ve ever made. I struggle with at least two of the four scenarios and will ingrain your four types of shots. Wonderful.

1:23 almost said "me eight iron"

lol it's all good Rick, we know you can't hide your inner English!
Cheers!

Hi Rick, would I be correct in saying that additionally, on an uphill lie, that the ball should be moved slightly up in your stance, and on a downhill lie, the ball should be moved slightly back in your stance to adapt to the changing point where the club bottoms out in each of those situations ..? ...IMO ...LOL

[thomasphillips]

I have always struggled with ball above and below my feet and you explained the set up in a very clear way, played 9 today and put it to use and noticed a huge improvement. Thanks Rick!

[beretta]

Rick is killing the Swing instruction industry. Like the Magician who gives all the secrets away....and we thank you. AS for the hanging lie, ball below our feet. My opinion; the reason we mis-hit that shot. Once you start your back swin'g, You brain knows you're out of balance, and tells your thigh muscles "Stand up". I give Rick ton of credit. He's teaching and not worrying about where the ball is landing...he's showing the good, the bad and ugly...

Quality Rick

Probably the best 13 minute any golfer could ever have 👍👍👍

[michaellangley]

I'm left handed, so I love it when you talk "front" and "back" instead of left and right. Front and back help me understand the tips better. Love your tips.

[FlyingScot]

Great tips. I keep forgetting the direction the ball goes on uphill versus downhill lies. I'm printing off these tips on a card and sticking on my golf cart so I remember.. Age makes us forget, we'll at least me. Love to see more of this style of golf tips on the channel. The graphics really help and the reasoning behind it. Thanks a bunch Rick. My game has seriously improved since I started watching your channel last year. Keep it up!

[derrickharris]

Being an old golfer I remember the very old Austin Rover (ball Above aim Right) and British Leyland (ball Below aim Left) worked for me for years. Cheers Rick

[DoubleDoglegGolf]

*Rick, i heard there is a new club that automatically adjusts to different lies, would love for you to review!* 😃

Hi Rick, I’ve just discovered your YouTube vid and I’m 💚💚💚💚ing your instruction and tips! 🤩😎.

I always mess up my shots on what I consider a bad lie when in fact after looking at your vid it’s not a bad lie but is just a lie. I realise I’ve never set up correctly to the slope. I’ve always set up as if I’m on a flat lie and this has given me my perception of having bad shots = due to a bad lie 😟🤪🤪🤪🙈.

Your instruction is so simple and makes SO much sense, I needed to hear it. 🙏🏼 for sharing. 🤗.

It’s raining today but I’m going to go out and put what you just told me to practise. 😊.

Looking forward to seeing all your other vids! 🤩🤩🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😃

For someone who lives in Alabama, this is helpful! Lots of hills and elevation changes here.

[christurner]

Great video- simple and to the point your miss on the down hill lie would suit most amateur golfers any day
