Creative Commons License photo credit: danperry.com     Playing to an elevated green is  a lot less complicated  if some basic rules are followed.    A shot to an elevated green should be viewed with caution, however.   The tendency is to try to  hit the ball higher than normal, trying to do so can lead to trouble.  

A shot to an elevated green, with the flag partially hidden,  always requires the use of one extra club  (instead of a 6 iron, use a 5 iron).   Do not try to   position the ball forward in your stance, play the ball as you would if you were hitting  a normal shot.   Do not try to draw the ball because a draw  shot will fly considerably lower than normal.   Make your typical swing and don't go ballistic if you don't hit the green.
