a) The right hand post on the hill is the safe line to the pin. A shot to the right of this post is safer and should end up in the valley beyond (beware of being left).
b) If you are not a long hitter then you should play short of the hill, pitch onto the plateau on top of the hill then play to the green.
c) When almost on the green, ring the bell located in the left hand banking four times as you move out of the dip to let any following players know that you have cleared this point.
d) LADIES play the 4th from the top 13th tee.
