Supposedly hilly lies, with the ball above your feet and a slight upslope would cause a draw or a pull of some sort, but for some reason I keep blocking the ball out to the right and even shanked a couple. Any ideas of what could be going wrong?

Sounds like you may be swinging too verticle instead of along the line of the slope..when I block them right it's because I'm fighting so hard NOT to go left that I forget to release thru the ball..
