Over-aggressive play with the driver often leads to difficult recovery shots from the tree line or thick rough.

Ignoring the prevailing wind off the nearby water can cause shots to drift significantly offline.

Blink Bonnie rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Take an extra club on uphill approaches to avoid falling short into front-side bunkers. Pay close attention to the grain and slope of the greens, which often pull toward the coastline.
