"When you play a new course for a tournament what is your plan of action. Play it blind, walk some holes, get the details from a card mate? Tell us how you attack a new course.
I try my hardest to see as much of a course as possible. However, my travels have often times lead me to many new courses. It’s important to walk the hole to see landing zones as much as needed. "
