On an uphill lie, hit into the slope instead of up it

On an uphill lie, a common mistake is trying to set your shoulders parallel to the slope. Gravity is already pulling your weight into your back foot, which makes many players miss left. Instead, lean and swing more into the slope: you catch the ball first so you do not chunk it, you flight it better, you avoid adding loft to an already lofted slope, and the clubface stays stabilized.
