Put the same player on a slope and the routine falls apart within a swing or two, not because the technique has changed but because nobody ever taught them what the ground is doing to the club they are holding. Uphill and downhill lies are not variations on a normal shot. They are a different shot, with different physics, and treating them as though a good swing will simply sort itself out is how a comfortable par turns into a scrambling bogey.</p>
