Golfers often fail to account for the subtle influence of the regional terrain on green speeds.

Scoring Zone strategy for Brockenhurst

Brockenhurst rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Pay close attention to the wind direction as it can be deceptive through the corridors of mature trees. Ensure your yardages are measured to the front of the green rather than the pin to avoid dangerous short-sides.
