Frogger’s resident PGA professional Kris Moe shows us some basics which help with chipping on an uphill slope in this golf instructional video below. Some key points to focus on during an uphill chip:
- Align spine perpendicular to the slope
- Shoulders should be parallel to the slope
- Swing with the slope and do not chop down into the slope at a steep angle
- Swing from outside in as if hitting a draw
- Consider that the slope adds loft to the shot

Great on Full Shots Too
The principles behind chipping on an uphill slope also apply to a full shot on an uphill slope. The shot will come off higher and more lofted, so it may require taking 1-2 extra clubs in distance. For instance, if you normally hit an 8-iron from that yardage, a 7-iron may be necessary due to the slope.
