  Hello. So I'm playing this Uneven Lies RG on Cabo del Sol, and the meter jumps during my drive to the short par 4 #11. I was aiming for the left entry to the green and instead land right on the short rough (20-25%) above the front bunker below the hole. I say, 'no problem, easy pitch from there'. But not in this ridiculous game. I saw the red box indicator, uphill, 14 yards from the hole. I hit a flop with my 56-wedge (38 yds) and the ball barely moved and rolled down to the bunker. If that is not ridiculous and far from real golf, I do not know what is. What should have been an easy birdie turned into a bogey. If I did it wrong, please enlighten me. It doesn't matter much now, I lost the 500 credits and a pretty good round anyway.

  A Red Box UpHill lie in UL you should be hitting a punch wedge shot. In this case I would have played a punched lob wedge, 85% power with half backspin expecting about the 14 yards.. Hitting a flop shot with a severe uphill lie will always go nowhere or even backwards.

  The UL is very hard and the only way to learn is to do what you did first then try all kind of shots until you accidently hit upon what works. I hit upon the punch wedge from uphill red box lies after a whole lot of frustration. GL next time out.
