Don’t bite of more than you can chew
On dog-leg holes that bend left or right, unless you know it well, it is better to resist the temptation of cutting the corner.
More often than not cutting the corner is a mistake and your shot will either come up short or play too long and will end up in the in the trees or in the rough for that is exactly what the designer planned for.
Don’t be tricked. Play a little wide of the corner in order to give yourself a shot at the green.
