 This guide is FREE to everyone and can be shared wherever you like. It is based on my own play and
shots shared by friends and viewers of my YouTube channel, which you can find and subscribe to here:

All shots & wind adjustments are based on the use of TITAN balls. Of course if using KMs the extra bar
of sidespin will be helpful on many holes, but you may also need to adjust landing positions & curl.
Similarly, you may need to tweak adjustments if using higher wind resistance balls.

If you view this guide as a PDF on a computer or mobile device, you can use the 4th slide as a menu page
from which to select any of the 9 holes. To return to the menu page simply press the home button
located in the top left corner of each slide.
Each slide describes one hole with:
• a hole map on the left with approx. landing positions & any key 2nd/3rd/4th bounce locations
• some instructional text, with pictures of each landing position; and
• the usual wind/spin graphic in the centre, with a bespoke instruction box for each of the 8 main wind
directions. These are colour coded to match the club/landing spot to use, and provide:

 Some thoughts about Curl & Sidespin
Curl is notoriously hard to quantify or replicate accurately, which is why many people avoid using it in
guides and in stock set up shots. However, some shots in this guide require curl to be used, so you
will find references to “IW” (inner wall), “OW” (outer wall), 1/2 Wall (half into wall) and various
fractions (of a ball) curl values in this guide. Visual examples of what these mean are shown below
to try and help.

This guide is based on the use of Titan balls, but instructions will refer to “2.0” side as opposed to
“max” side so as to make the guide remain useful even if you are using a SS3 – SS5 ball. Using
different sidespin than advised means you will likely need to adjust any prescribed curl too.

Please remember… a guide is just a guide and it can’t cater to every possibility!
