Hole 3 – Hamilton

Willows Dell

PRO Tips

The third is the longest of the par 3s, which can tempt many golfers into reaching for the driver. However, don’t be drawn into chasing distance – finishing the hole with a three is an excellent result.

The key is to commit to a solid, straight shot. Find the green and give yourself a realistic chance of making par. Be particularly mindful of the left-hand side, where a significant downhill slope can feed the ball away from the putting surface. Missing left can leave a difficult recovery and make saving par a real challenge.

Take enough club to reach the green comfortably, commit to your target, and favour the safe side. A par here is a score worth taking.
