The Tee Shot
The ideal tee shot is up the right side of the fairway. The key to success is making sure of your alignment as the line of palms along the right side can play tricks on you. A great birdie opportunity on this relatively short opening hole.
The Approach
The green is situated higher than the fairway requiring the approach shot to be played with a longer iron than the yardage indicates. Approach shots played to the right side of the green will be acceptable, even if short. But, if playing to the left side of the green, a more aggresive shot is required.
The Putting Surface
Having no predominant breaks on the whole course, be careful not to over-read the greens. This greens’ undulations are more subtle than most, play what you see. |
