Golf Tip of the Month
Different lies can effect how you
play your chip shot. For a buried lie, you will usually
expect the ball to come out low. You need a club with more
loft, and a steep angle of approach. Place your weight on
your front leg, keep your hands well in front of the ball, and
strike down. These shots require a lot of imagination and
experience.
Fluffy lies are easier, but you
have to be careful. You want to strike up on the ball to
keep the club from sliding underneath. Use a lower lofted
club to get the ball rolling as soon as possible.
In all cases, practice will help
you more than any golf tip. An hour a week on the chipping
green will help to develop feel and control.

Patriot
Golf Day
This year we will
be participating in
Patriot Golf Day
on Labor Day Weekend. A portion of money raised over the
course of the weekend will go to support the
Folds of Honor
Foundation,
a chairty organization that provides post-secondary educational
scholarships to the spouses and children of service members who
are disabled or killed as a result of their military service to
our great nation.
We will be running
several specials and contests to raise money for this worthy
cause. We ask all those who are able to come out and
support our servicemen on
September 4th -
6th.
Ladies
The CCLGA had a
very busy July. We had good turnout every Wednesday, even
with temperatures over 90 degrees. Ladies' Guest Day was a
success. We had an excellent choice of breakfast foods
before playing, and a great lunch following golf.
The Clear Creek
Ladies will be playing in several area golf tournaments in
August. We are especially looking forward to the Pro-Lady
Tournament at Bristol Country Club on August 26th. Four
teams from Clear Creek will be competing with Casey, Adam, and
Luther as our Professional Partners.
Ladies are busy
preparing for our upcoming Ladies' Partner Invitational
Tournament to be held on Wednesday, September 8th. If you
are interested in playing, call the clubhouse for more
information.
There has been
discussion concerning the formation of a 9-hole ladies' league
for those who prefer a shorter round. This group would tee
off just before the regular group on Wednesdays. If you
are interested in joining this group, please call the clubhouse
to have your name put on the list. If there is enough
participation, we will try to start this league by the end of
August.
