Lichfield Golf and Country Club

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

A wedge, a firm heart, and no peeking.

Short holes punish greed first.

Par walks off this tee less often than it should.

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

Under-clubbing is the oldest mistake on this tee.

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

Take one more club than pride suggests.

All carry. Choose the club that clears it twice.

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

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

A three here never hurt anyone.

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

One good swing. That is the whole assignment.

Pick a spot on the green and mean it.

The green sits smaller than it reads from the tee.

The wind does more up here than the trees admit.

Swing at eighty per cent. The yardage is honest.

Running one in through the front is the percentage play.

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

Long leaves the harder chip. Believe the number.

Centre of the green, every day of the week.
