Finally getting to play this fantastic course tomorrow.

Hoakalei is a 7400-yard Ernie Els course on the Ewa Plain on Oahu, Hawaii.  Course opened in 2009 and gets very little play.  From what I've heard and seen, this very well might be the best course on Oahu, so I'm stoked to finally be able to play it.  I should be able to get two or three rounds in over the next six weeks or so.  I'll post a review on Sunday.

So my last venture to this course didn't put me in a very good frame of mind for a review.  It was a great course, but the 30MPH winds, sanded greens, and monumental struggle just to shoot 79 didn't leave me with good memories of most of the holes.

I'm trying again on Sunday, this time in the am so maybe the wind will be more manageable.  Will definitely post a review this time, one way or another.

      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.

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      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.

      Day 6  (26 Jun 26) - Played 18 today in the Friday men's group shootout.  Would love to say it was an awesome round, but it wasn't  - had a tough day with the putter (especially on the front - short putts missing left or right or just short - just could not get a feel for the greens).
