New RANGE MATS
A TIP FROM OUR GOLF PRO:
South Riding Golf Club How To Approach Uneven Lies
When dealing with uneven lies its im-portant to remember a couple of things.
When addressing the ball from
any lie always lean with the slope. When facing a downhill or uphill lie make certain that your shoul-der line is matched up with the ground on which you are stand-ing. In other words, don't fight the slope!
Uphill lies take an extra club as
the slope of the hill will add loft to your clubface at address.
Downhill lies take one less club
as the slope of the hill will de loft your clubface at address.
A side hill lie with the ball
well below your feet make sure to squat down at address more than you usually would & to aim a touch left as the ball will naturally want to fall from left to right.
A side hill lie with the ball above
your feet make sure to stand tall-er at address & choke up on the club and aim a touch right as the ball will naturally will want to fall from right the left.
Hopefully these tips will help you
to make solid contact from une-ven lies!

3 Club Championship Are you up for a fun challenge? All you need to do is remove some
clubs from your bag. And by “some” I mean all but three of them (and
keep your putter too). That’s right – take them out before you get to the
first tee – just leave them in your trunk.
The object of the 3 Club Championship is to play the entire round of
golf with only three clubs and a putter. Don't miss this fun event.
DATE: May 22nd
TIME: 9:00am
COST: $30 Members / $60 AMC / $80 Public
