So I got back from Hawaii a couple weeks ago, and I'm still just beaming about that trip I cannot wait to get back.
I was in Maui for 4 days, and I stayed right on the Ka'anapali GC. I know its pathetic, but I could not stop humming the big break theme... didn't play the course though as my travel companions were not so interested.

In Oahu, I did get to play and we decided to try a course which claims to be "toughest in the nation", Ko'Olau! (Or as we now affectionately refer to it "Ko'OhWow!")

I carded a 92 from the "resort" tees, (6,406yds, 71.7, 138) which i was pumped about since it was with rental clubs and this was my second round of the year. But really i didn't care about the score, this was just a fun experience!

I definitely recommend this course, just bring LOTS of golf balls.

I agree with all you said. I played Ko'Olau in May of 2008 and it was beautiful. Not only the course, but also the scenery. It is a must play course if you go to Honolulu.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 51 (yesterday was 50, not 59 -- that was a typo).  I didn't have a ton of time today.  I hit a dozen balls with a 6-iron in my practice room.   Amazingly, after this I did the ShotScope analysis of yesterday's round;  my approach play was at the 5 hcp level.  That's pretty darn good, but unfortunately for my score, some of that came from hitting a few good recovery shots.  But I also hit some really good approach shots that weren't from trouble!

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times.

      I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
