    iMikeAllStar:
    That almost never happens in real golf and when it does, one can drop (1 penalty stroke) the ball on a better lie.

    This would be a good option to include in UL games.

    bhoese:

    Aim farther right than you normally would after compensating for the lie.  Let the roll on the green take the ball left.  

    That's one of the toughest, most nerve-wracking shots on WGT with the unevens.

    Right now we have a Starter UL Tourney going on CCC. I've been practicing a lot this week and the approach to 18 is very tricky being down hill left lie from the fairway to down hill left leaning landing.. I'm aiming nearly in the first bunker on the right of the green and it drops in front of the green bounding left and hops on the green no problem. Not one wet yet in about 8 practice rounds.

    For fancy stick players trying to fly the ball all the way on the green, especially to the back pin, you have to aim in the water on the right and then hope it sticks. You're playing from a downhill lie in the fairway, lowering the trajectory, so the ball is going to shoot forward on landing no matter of spin. Perhaps playing back, letting it roll some then playing for a safe par is the best way to keep it clean and get off the course.
