Adjust to side hill lies

If you have a shot where the ball lies on the side of a hill, you will need to adjust your stance and swing path to hit your target. If the ball is above your feet the ball will tend to fly left of the target. Open the face of your club and aim a little to the right. If your feet are above the ball it will tend to fly to the right, so close the club face and aim a little to the left of your target. Be sure to maintain your balance during the swing as it may be difficult with side hill lies.
