Golf Pro Dan shares tips on how to tackle the first hole at Thorpeness Golf Club. His insights highlight the importance of strategy for a successful start. The 1st hole, at stroke index 17, presents a simple opener at 313 yards. While there might be a temptation to reach for the green, players should be cautious of gorse lurking nearby. A well-placed tee shot of 180 to 190 yards just short of the first bunker is advisable, leaving around 130 yards for the approach. With both fairway and green positioning affected by surrounding hazards, players must navigate carefully to avoid a poor start and maximize the potential for a birdie.
