How Seiban should actually be played

The most common error is miscalculating the effect of the wind and elevation on club selection. Over-swinging on uphill holes often leads to poor contact and missed greens. Golfers also frequently struggle by being too aggressive with downhill putts on tiered surfaces.
Scoring Zone strategy for Seiban
On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Seiban, 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.
Seiban rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Take an extra club when playing to elevated greens to account for the steep slopes. Study the grain of the greens carefully, as it can significantly impact both speed and line. Ensure your alignment is correct on tee boxes that may be angled away from the center of the fairway.
