Tips on how to Golf at UPM Golf Course

Tips which all walks of golfers need to know before teeing off in UPM Golf Course:

1. Choosing the second nine (forest) to tee instead the first nine might be the best option when playing early morning. The sun always shine more on this side which might disturb your concentration especially during putting. Moreover, the greens usually slower in the morning.

2. The ball roll more on the first nine's green. So, if you want to hit your shot from about 100 metres or more to the greens, it's better for you to make sure the ball land before the green and hope it bounce toward the green. If it is not, you still can chip or putt to save par or whatsoever. If you hit straight to the green, 90% of the balls which land will roll and and fall. It is quite difficult to chip in from under the elevated green.

3. Normal sand shot may not work in UPM. Chipping or simple pitch is the best option to escape the bunker. One of my friend even use a his putter to escape the bunker and suprisingly it works.

Remember these tips when you play at UPM golf course. Good luck.
