Welcome to Stock Shot Secrets, the podcast aiming to help you become a more strategic and effective golfer. In this episode, we dive into one of the most crucial skills in golf – evaluating the lie. Join host Kyle Morris as he sheds light on how understanding and predicting the lie can dramatically improve your game. Much like the best quarterbacks in football, who anticipate defensive moves, the greatest golfers excel at evaluating the lie before them, impacting shot choice and execution. Through detailed examples and practical advice, Kyle will guide you through the critical questions to ask on the course, such as how the lie affects spin, carry, and roll. Tune in to refine your ability to read the course, hit more accurate shots, and elevate your golf game to new heights.
