Jimmy Biggs, the Head Pro at Calabash’s Premier golf course, The Pearl, has compiled a list of tips to play their East Course. Here you will find useful tips on the first three holes and keep following their blog for more tips to come soon!
Hole 1: The Pearl East starts you off with a long and narrow par 5. My advice here is to be smart and play for a green in regulation. Don’t be a hero and try the “steroid jerk” with a 3-wood to get on in two. The fairway is much more forgiving than the woods.
Hole 2: Long par 3 guarded by bunkers short of the green. Take the trouble out of play. Take an extra club, choke up your grip a little bit and swing easy. This makes the bunkers a non-factor and increases your chances of a birdie putt.
Hole 3: This short par 4 will reward an accurate tee shot. Try staying away from that full swing 60 degree wedge or your approach shot. I like to hit a ½ swing pitching wedge into that green. Narrow stance, ball position toward the middle of your stance, swing with your shoulders and let the club do the work.
