Where most golfers lose shots at Tsukumo

A common mistake is failing to account for the grain on the greens, which can significantly influence putt speed and line. Golfers often over-club on downhill holes, leading to difficult recoveries from behind the putting surfaces. Neglecting the wind direction during club selection often results in coming up short on exposed holes.

Tsukumo rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Check the local wind patterns before starting the round, as gusts can pick up quickly in the afternoon. Practice short-game shots from different lies, as the grass around the greens can be dense. Using a rangefinder to confirm distances in meters will help navigate the depth of the tree-lined fairways.
