Major Risks
Woodland and natural boundaries Forest edges, rough and protected natural areas can narrow the safe side and limit recovery options. Racecourse features Former racecourse elements are embedded in the course and may create unusual visual lines or playing constraints.
Blue Tee Strategy
Keep targets inside the reliable corridor rather than chasing the widest-looking line. Check local markings around natural areas and racecourse features before play. Use conservative approaches when woodland or rough removes a clean recovery angle. Position carefully through the woodland
