Where most golfers lose shots at Morriston Golf Club
The most common error is underestimating the effect of the hilly terrain on club selection, particularly on approach shots.

Over-hitting on the fast-sloping greens can also quickly turn a birdie opportunity into a difficult bogey.
Scoring Zone strategy for Morriston Golf Club
