This is the easiest hole on the course...ahem. I think I have had par here on two occassions in competition since I started playing. Large bunkers on the left and racetrack on the right so the big wide fairway is the simplest solution. You would think so wouldn't you. Thank God for stableford is all I can say. Still if you can get a good drive away then the best approach for the higher handicap is probably a utility club leaving a 100m or so to the big green. Now at this point I must say that I am not best tooled up to advise anyone on putting so do it yourself. It is a great way to start the round if you can get a birdie here but to be honest be happy with the par because it will help you to get a feel for the place before the water appears on the next hole.
Medal on next Sunday and I'm out at 14.15 or there abouts. I will move onto hole 2 next time so if you have anything to add please leave a comment....even a bad one. FORE
I hate the two massive bunkers on the first hole such a daunting task to avoid.
