During a normal round of golf there will be times when you will need to hit the ball high. For example, you may find yourself behind some trees at the corner of a dogleg hole. Being able to hit over those trees may enable you to reach the green. Here's how to do it.

1. Grip the club at the end of the grip and position your feet so that the ball is slightly in front of center.	2. Tilt your shoulders so that the leading shoulder is angled higher than the following shoulder.
3. Take a full swing and be sure to make a full follow through.
