Where most golfers lose shots at London Beach

The most common error is attempting to overpower the course and taking unnecessary lines over hazards.

London Beach rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Familiarise yourself with the yardages to clear or lay up short of the various water hazards throughout the round. Take an extra club on uphill approach shots as the elevation changes can be deceptive. Ensure your short game is sharp, as the areas surrounding the greens can be tight and testing.
