Ignoring the wind off the coast often results in approach shots drifting into protective bunkers.
Scoring Zone strategy for Ito Country Club
On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Ito Country Club, the goal should be simple: two controlled shots. You don't need a perfect drive — you need a repeatable position that allows you to play your next shot with confidence.
Ito Country Club rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Take an extra club for uphill par-3s to compensate for the elevation gain and potential headwind. Practice lag putting on the practice green to get a feel for the speed, as greens can vary depending on the moisture level. Check the direction of the sea breeze before every tee shot to anticipate ball flight curvature.
