What is the best ball position for playing an uphill bunker shot? Is it still in the front of your stance? When I did this, the ball seemed to go too high. Any thoughts?

You'll find that the proper position of the ball is a matter of who you talk to. Some pros say to play the ball back so you can hit down on it easier. Others say play it forward so you can hit the ball higher, easier. Try both and see what works best for the situation at the time. Need the ball to stop fast, play it forward. Need a bit more roll, play it back.

Hi Rob,
You would play it back a little so you can swing "through" the shot.

Bill, There you go, typing YOU when it should be I. YOU play the ball back, I play the ball forward.

Don, as usual, YOU are dealing with thin air.......

I started by addressing Rob, with Hi Rob, and from that moment, "you" referred to him.

Now, if I had typed, "Don, are YOU waiting for your drugs to take affect?" it would have been appropriate, for YOU. \:\)

I'm looking forward to playing some golf with YOU, in less than 2 weeks. See you soon my friend.
