The most common error is using a driver on the shorter, narrower holes where a long iron or hybrid would secure a better position.

Missing on the high side of the greens often results in lightning-fast chips that are difficult to stop.

Hamersley rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Pay close attention to the wind direction, as the course's proximity to the coast means conditions can change rapidly. Always check your alignment on the tee to ensure you aren't aiming directly at the thick timber. A versatile short game is essential for scrambling when the small greens are missed.
