Portpatrick, Dunskey Golf Club

Anything timid rolls back down to say hello.

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

Downhill, the ball stays up longer than feels right.

All carry. Choose the club that clears it twice.

A wedge, a firm heart, and no peeking.

A three here never hurt anyone.

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

Running one in through the front is the percentage play.

Short holes punish greed first.

The bank forgives nothing. Land it on top.

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

Par walks off this tee less often than it should.

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

The green sits smaller than it reads from the tee.

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

The wind does more up here than the trees admit.

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

One good swing. That is the whole assignment.

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

Take one more club than pride suggests.

Under-clubbing is the oldest mistake on this tee.

Long leaves the harder chip. Believe the number.
