Lesson From Kenny – “Chipping from a tight lie”
o Ball near the green
o Resting on a tight lie
o No trouble between your ball and the intended target
Try using your 8 iron – backswing to the inside, hit easy with a full release.
For a shot not requiring a “lofty” trajectory, try using a hybrid or fairway wood.
It puts over-spin on the ball and will roll up to the target similar to a putt.
If your shot requires a “lofty” trajectory, use your sand-wedge.
Swing easy with a full release.
Practice these kinds of shots and see what works for you.
Old Business
Gordon Lakes Tournament results have been posted on the website.

Security issues at Fort Gordon were discussed. Procedures tend to change (on
purpose) without notice. Best advice is to arrive as early as possible giving plenty
of time to gain access.
New Business
