keep a good eye on the ball as it heads for the rough. there has been times ive played links courses and looked around and seen groups of people walking around like hens stamping on the ground looking for balls.
keep the ball low if you can. hit the ball easier to keep the spin down.
if you can hit a long iron I suggest you get one in the bag. the low flight will stay under the wind and have plenty of run.
other than that, enjoy the sea air !

Anywhere off the green up to 20 yards or so, if you have fairway between you and the green get the putter out. Chances are (if its a decent course) greens will be hard and fast, so you will have more control with the short stick.

Great course. My tip.....? Enjoy it!
And make sure on the 18th tee that you know where the fairway is before teeing off..... I hit it right where I intended and missed the fairway by a mile!
