Major Risks
Internal out of bounds The official scorecard defines several hole-specific internal OOB lines, including hole 1/9, 4/8 and 5/7 relationships, the practice area and the cinder track. Hedges and abnormal conditions All hedges are GUR; blue stakes, tiles or lines mark no-play GUR, while supported trees, railings, signs and buildings are immovable obstructions.
Blue Tee Strategy
Confirm today's tee and temporary conditions at check-in. Account for coastal wind and the many water features. Use the official hole-specific OOB and GUR rules rather than generic assumptions. Play the current Wellington scorecard
