The best way to play a tight lie

A tight lie is when your ball comes to rest on a bare spot where there is little or no grass.
A tight lie is when your ball comes to rest on a bare spot where there is little or no grass.
With no pillow between your ball and the ground, this is a difficult shot to hit and almost certainly the best strategy here is to play the ball further back in your stance than your normally do to help you hit it first and not the ground behind it.
It will further assist you if you grip the club lightly, make an upright back swing, come down on the back of the ball and then follow through!
