I'm going to Hawaii with my girlfriend in March, and I have decided that I MUST play a round of golf while I'm there. She's not a golfer, and I already have a "kitchen pass" to go play for a day. The Feb. issue of Golf magazine has an article on Kauai golf courses (the island that I'll be going to). Wailua Golf Course is looking like the affordable one for me. Greens fees during the week are only $32, plus $17 for a cart.

Has anyone ever played at Wailua Golf Course? Any opinions?

I have beent to Oahu and Kauai, and I can tell you you have made the right island choice. Kauai is a great island to go to. Not as good as Maui for golf, but still decent.

Here is a link about Kauai golf courses. I don't have any experience with the one you mentioned, but these are the highlights on this site. Some are pricey, but hopefully this will help out.

Have fun over there. Don't drink too many Mai-Tai's

I was in Kauai in February 2006. I did not play Wailua. Obviously it might be a good bargain, but for me, if I'm going all the way to Kauai (and being in Phoenix, it's going to be a loooong flight or two), I'm going to buck up. It'll be worth the money too as you'll get to experience one of the top courses in all of the islands. I'm talking about the Princeville Resort's Prince Course. It was spectacular. Can't recall how much exactly, but I'm sure it's $200+. But it is one of the greatest, most challenging courses I've ever played. Princeville also has the Makai Course, which is very nice as well. Then, there's Poipu Bay where they played several Grand Slams of Golf events. That was an enjoyable one for me because I had just watched Tiger and Phil play there on TV a few weeks before I went out there. Then I also played Kauai Lagoons' Kiele Course which was right next to my resort. It was fun as well, but certainly # 4 of the four I played. My view is you never know when you're going to make it back to a place like Kauai so if you're going to have one round in there, it's got to be the Prince Course!

      On the subject of teenagers in professional tournaments there is a kid (Kris Kim) who is a member of my club in England and is at my old school. He’s 16. He’s playing in the pga tour event in Texas this week. Shot 69 yesterday for T31 and is -2 today through 5 holes. T55 and on the cut line. I really hope he makes the cut. Will be awesome.    His dad I believe is a teaching pro and his mum was on the LPGA Tour for a while.

      My Favorite Putts

      By Ty_Webb ·

      I have two contenders here that stick out to me: In second place, a putt to win the hole playing the 16th hole at Burnham and Berrow. Playing foursomes and the green has a big bank at the front then a flat bit and then it goes up again to a back shelf. My partner had hit our second shot onto the back shelf. We were 2up at the time and he was being a little wobbly so we didn’t want to lose the hole. Our oppo were conceded a 4 and my partner told me to just lag it down there nicely. 20 year old me meant to do that and failed. I hit it a bit hard and it was definitely going to clear the tier and probably run off the front of the green, but it hit the hole right in the middle and went in. My partner was very happy we won the hole but quite upset at my ability to follow instructions.    Number 2 is my most memorable. I was about 16 playing in the junior knockout at my club. We get to the 10th hole - long par 4 and index 2. I didn’t hit a very good drive, hit my second up about 60 yards short and pitched on to maybe 25 feet. I started walking and I got this feeling. I knew I was going to hole it. There was no doubt at all. I’ve never felt like that any other time in my life but this one putt was a certainty. It was February and the greens had been recently hollow tined so they were in awful shape. I didn’t even line it up. I hit my putt and it bumped and bounced all over the place until it went in the middle of the hole. If I could bottle up that feeling and sell it I’d be up there with Bezos and musk. Mind blowing!

      It's strange how ONE person can be THAT much different/better/whatever than anyone else.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By Vinsk ·

      I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      There seems to be a lot of buzz around the new Maxfli Tour and TourS balls, especially with a handful of tour pros signing on to play them. My understanding is that the Tour is similar to the Titleist ProV1 and TourS is like the Titleist AVX. Has anyone played them? My main concern is that while I liked the feel and performance of the Maxfli balls of many years ago, I found the paint job on them was lousy. The finish looked a bit faded right out of the box, and after a few holes they had faded even more, and sometimes the paint was actually coming off. I'm hoping to find out if they are using a different factory or improved their paint process.  Opinions, please.
