Prioritise positioning off the tee to ensure clear angles into the greens, as many fairways tighten in landing zones. Use the slope of the terrain to help hold the ball on the short grass, and always check wind direction which can shift near the river. Conservative play to the centres of greens will yield more consistent results than attacking tucked pins.
