Hallamshire Golf Club

Fly it all the way in. There is no running route.

Sand on every side. The green is the only safe place.

A wedge, a firm heart, and no peeking.

Short holes punish greed first.

The wind does more up here than the trees admit.

Pick a spot on the green and mean it.

A wood from the tee is not a confession. Take it.

Take one more club than pride suggests.

The water is nearer the tee than the green. Ignore it.

One good swing. That is the whole assignment.

Downhill, the ball stays up longer than feels right.

Running one in through the front is the percentage play.

The bank forgives nothing. Land it on top.

A three here never hurt anyone.

Centre of the green, every day of the week.

The green sits smaller than it reads from the tee.

Par walks off this tee less often than it should.

Anything timid rolls back down to say hello.

Under-clubbing is the oldest mistake on this tee.

Good players aim away from the pin here. Be one.

Half a club less, and let the hill do the rest.

Aim at the fat of the green and putt for your two.

The miss is short here. It is nearly always short.

Swing at eighty per cent. The yardage is honest.

Long leaves the harder chip. Believe the number.

All carry. Choose the club that clears it twice.
