How to play Espiche's 1st Hole?
The first hole at Espiche is a par 5 and it provides a solid opportunity to start your round with par or better score. At first, when standing on the tee, the hole appears to be quite narrow, but in fact it has a large landing area, which opens up down the left-hand side. Aim therefore to drive the ball down the left centre of the fairway.
For your second shot, is very important to lay up to a good position. Ideally use your hybrid or a 5 wood and play a soft shot to the left centre of the fairway, where the natural slope of the hole will roll the ball to the right-hand side.
Assuming all goes to plan, your third shot will be no more than a Pitching Wedge: try not to go over the pin, as your intent should be to leave the ball short of the flag.
Once on the green, pay careful attention in reading the putt. If you have managed to place the ball under the hole, the putt should be relatively easy - if you have gone long, it will need careful attention to get down in 2 putts.
If you are having any difficulties with your game, Alfredo is always available for lessons whatever your golfing ability or handicap. These can be pre booked as part of your A Golfing Experience to Espiche package.
