Where most golfers lose shots at Cavendish Golf Club
The most common error is underestimating the severity of the green contours, leading to difficult three-putts. Leaving the ball above the hole on MacKenzie’s signature slopes often results in a defensive second putt that can easily roll off the surface. Over-attacking tucked pins near slopes also frequently leads to unnecessary dropped shots.
