Help with lies

  Can anybody give me a brief rundown of the lies and what they mean? I had a shot from the rough, it was 30 yards to the pin, and it said it was a 50% shot. Being used to playing EA's Tiger Woods series, I assumed this meant that the ball travels 50% of the distance that you hit it. Well this was certainly not the case, as my ball went way past the hole and into the rough on the opposite side of the green. Any help would be great

  Hi,

  40 - 50 Lie - apply about 20% more power. Just be careful that you chose the right club. It may be you have to drop down a club. Just do your distance, wind, elevation cals etc etc then add 20% (of full power) not 20% of the distance - if you know what I mean. You'll need to practice it to fine tune.

  20 - 25% lie -  half of the above etc etc etc - OK?

  Hope that helps.

  Cheers Doug
