Over-swinging on the longer par 4s frequently leads to lateral hazards or difficult recovery shots.

Marumori rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Check the prevailing wind direction before starting the round as it impacts several key holes simultaneously. Use a rangefinder to confirm distances to hazards, especially on holes with blind landing zones. Prioritize center-green targets rather than attacking tucked pins to avoid short-sided misses.
