Tour Results, Schedules, and News:

Hank Kuehne and Jeff Sluman used Kuehne's distance and Sluman's touch, along with two hot putters to take the Franklin Templeton Shootout. This always proves to be one of the best "silly season" events especially with the scramble format on the final day.

Tiger Woods was in action in Korea as he played a Skins match with Colin Montgomerie, K.J. Choi, and Se Ri Pak. Montgomerie took the event with $75,000, Woods and Choi had $51,000 each and Pak was shut out.

Heather Daly-Donofrio cruised to four shot win over Laura Diaz at the Mitchell Company Tournament of Champions.

Tip of the week:

Tips for Uphill and Downhill lies:

Not many course are completely flat. Uphill lies tend to make the ball go higher and cause varying degrees of a "pull". Try to put the ball forward slightly in your stance and aim for a little pull. Also remember that you may lose a club in distance so perhaps play an extra club if the slope is quite severe. Make sure to swing easy so you can maintain your balance.

Downhill lies tend to do the opposite, cause a low "push". The ball will also go farther and roll farther depending on the severity of the slope. Put the ball back in your stance so you don't hit it too thin, and aim for a push shot. Take a little less club and allow for more roll.

For sidehill lies remember the most important thing is keeping your balance. The ball will tend to go slightly towards the direction of the downslope, so play accordingly, but remember that balance is key and you can hit a pretty staright shot if you don't swing too hard and keep your balance.
