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.

      Struggling to Determine Between Slightly Uphill or Slightly Downhill Putts, 60 Years Old.

      By WillieT ·

      Good read (pun intended) as I have been using my feet more to feel the break and trusting these 65yr eyes less.  The only caveat to my case is that most rounds I wear a carbon graphite brace that runs the length of my left foot (replicates the toe "lift" sensation while walking by putting pressure on the rear of the left calf muscle and makes a great conversation piece to the guys I play with), and I tend to find the weight sensation somewhat muted on that foot when I wear it.  I do occasionally play without it and the left foot read gives a better transmission of info.  However not matter which way I'm playing that day (brace/no brace), pacing off the distance and coming back about 1/2 way and getting a foot read has really helped me determine the break, the startline and oveall pace.  Using my feet has definitely improved my confidence in terms of putting.

      To still be winning tournaments at 67 is quite incredible. He must also be the youngest person to have shot his age or better by however many times he's done it. Amazing.
