The Heron Country Club

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

The bank forgives nothing. Land it on top.

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

Anything timid rolls back down to say hello.

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

All carry. Choose the club that clears it twice.

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

One good swing. That is the whole assignment.

Long leaves the harder chip. Believe the number.

Downhill, the ball stays up longer than feels right.

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

Centre of the green, every day of the week.

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

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

A three here never hurt anyone.

Take one more club than pride suggests.

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

Under-clubbing is the oldest mistake on this tee.

The green sits smaller than it reads from the tee.

Running one in through the front is the percentage play.

Swing at eighty per cent. The yardage is honest.

Pick a spot on the green and mean it.

The wind does more up here than the trees admit.

Par walks off this tee less often than it should.
