Terry’s Tee Tip of the Month - “Side Hill Fix for Short Game”
Lone Pine and all Western PA courses present these side hill pitch shot situations. To help compensate for the ball above you or below your feet, try this.
On 30 or 40 yard pitches, there is less of a body coil, so it is easier for the club to be too far to the outside. This can cause pulls, or a ball that squirts a little to the right. Most people have a tendency to come from the outside on shorter pitches. Hitting half shots off a side hill lie will help you “shallow out” your path to impact. I find in teaching this drill, many people can eliminate the “over-the-top move” from their downswing. Get a bucket of range balls and find a place around the range tee that’s not level and practice it. Then take it to the course.
Remember, we make golf better, making golf a better game.”

Family Golf Day
July’s “Family Golf Day” is scheduled for Saturday afternoon, July 31. Play anytime from 12 noon on. You can bring up to three family members (who aren’t presently members of the club) grandparents, grandsons, aunts, uncles ... and pay just cart fees; guest fees are waived. Watch the monthly newsletters for the designated Saturday each month. It’s a great way to introduce them to the game and maybe make a golfer!
