A common mistake is neglecting the impact of wind and elevation, which can cause shots to overshoot or fall short of the target areas. Excessive aggression on long par 4s often leads to difficult recoveries from uneven lies. Misjudging the grain and slope on the putting surfaces can also lead to frequent three-putts.
On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Kinokuni 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.
Kinokuni Country Club rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Practice distance control for shots from uphill and downhill lies before starting the round.
