How to score better at Jondaryan Woolshed

Prioritise keeping the ball low to manage the persistent winds common across the Darling Downs plains. When approaching the sand greens, aim to landing the ball short to allow it to roll onto the surface, as they do not hold lofted shots like bentgrass or couch greens. Accuracy from the tee is more valuable than distance given the firm, fast-running ground.
