Overestimating carry distances over hazards can lead to unnecessary penalty strokes.
Scoring Zone strategy for Minami Kyushu
On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Minami Kyushu, 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.
Minami Kyushu rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Practice low-trajectory shots to combat potential wind and maintain control on the fairways. Check the elevation markers carefully, as many approach shots play longer or shorter than the measured distance.
