David Leadbette's Golf cheats:

It's best to start the game as a novice because although you
won't be able to

improve your handicap or save any profiles the lack of wind and
the fixed

swingometer means that you're able to concentrate on the basics -
course

strategy and power. Strategy means summing up the dangers and
choosing the safe

route down the fairway which can be far from easy with some of
the tortuous

holes included in the game. When it comes to short pitching you
need to learn

from experience how much power to apply to get the distance you
need. Otherwise

you face fifty-foor putts to the equally tortuous greens.

An old golfing adage says that the pros drive for show and putt
for dough and

to a large extent it's true. It's possible to waste a ridiculous
number of shots

on the greens so putting practise is essential. The most
important thing to

remember is that the halfway mark on the putting meter always
represents the

optimum power for a flat green whatever the distance of the putt.
All you have

to do is hit harder if the putt is uphill or less hard if it's
downhill - you

can check the slope by clicking the right mouse button to see the
path to the

hole from side on. The other thing to worry about is the borrow -
use the 'grid'

icon to see whether this is left-to-right (or right-to-left) and
compensate by

playing to the left (or right). When you start saving your
profile and average

of 1.5 putts per green is good but lower putting averages are
possible - 1.0

is perfect.

THE 5 HARDEST HOLES:

===================

1 - Ballybrook - Hole 18 (Par 5) 'Birchwood Corner':

---------------------------------------------------

This is one of the hardest par five on any of the six courses so
don't worry if

it takes you some time to make par.

First shot:

The fairway makes a dog-leg so use the far right tee position to
straighten out

the angle. Don't be afraid to drive over the wood but make sure
you tee up on

the top position to gain enough height. Follow this advice and
you should be in

a good position far enough down the fairway to be tempted by the
green for your

second shot.

Second shot:

If you have anything other than a perfect lie be content with a
short pitch to

near the edge of the brook. From a good or fluffy lie you will be
able to use a

three wood to play to the right of the bunkers guarding the
green. Be sure to

pitch accurately onto the green because it's large and has very
difficult

contours.

2 - St Augustine - Hole 9 (par 3) 'Devil's Green':

-------------------------------------------------

Fourtunately unless you're a scratch player you'll be playing off
the front

tee which is a good 30 yards forward and gives you a clearer view
of the green.

Make sure you don't underclub and flirt with the brook and target
the right side

of the green because the steep slopes funnel the ball to the
left. Don't worry

if you end up off the back but try to pitch accurately otherwise
you'll be

three-putting.

3 - Buckland Heath - Hole 16 (par 4) 'Devil's Putt':

---------------------------------------------------

The fast sloping left-to-right green dictates the strategy for
this hole. Target

the right-hand edge of the fairway beyond the bunker so that
you're able to play

onto the green. Aim directly at the flag and use a slightly
under-powered

pitching wedge - you should end up pinhigh but slightly beneath
the cip for an

easy birdie putt.

4 - Fenham Valley - Hole 18 (par 5) 'Jacob's Lake':

--------------------------------------------------

First shot:

The big lake looks threatening but keep your cool and raise your
tee and it's

easy to clear. You should pitch over to the left-hand side of the
fairway to

give a good view of the green.

Second shot:

For the brave a three wood over the trees and risking the bunkers
is possible

but the green is very small. Always check the green before your
shot to see

if the flag is on the closer tier or the lower back tier. It's
best to play a

long iron short of the bunkers and then pitch accurately to the
pin.

5 - Mountsummer Pont - Hole (par 5) 'Old Lumpy':

-----------------------------------------------

First shot:

This is the links course and the fairways tend to be very bumpy.
This fairway

kicks balls to the left so aim for the extreme right hand edge
and hit a driver

with some overswing to make good distance. Hopefully you're left
a second shot

from the centre of the fairway - if you end up too far to the
left then you have

an awful approach over tall trees and a deep pot bunker.

Second shot:

Anywhere on this course you should watch out for sloping lines
which make your

stance more awkward and mean you can't hit the ball so hard.
Always check the

power curve on the swingometer first. Here you're likely to be on
an upslope

so take more club - a three wood perhaps - and aim for the
right-hand edge of

the green.
