Golf in Hawaii (part 2)

As we dive into 2011 (on a Minnesota day where the current temp is -3) I need to stay on the Hawaii topic one more time...

Sitting here watching the season's first PGA Tour event from Kapalua, Maui reminds me, once again, that grass is green and the ocean is a glorious blue!

In the past, I have wondered why they play on the North Coast of Maui - where the weather elements are oftentimes a bit harsh - rather than the relatively calm, dry Wailea area on the Southwest coast.

It finally hit me... the pro's play the harsher areas exactly because they ARE harder. It again points out that the game you and I play is not at all the same game as the tour players play.

Stay warm - and contact me if you just need to get out of the cold and snow for a few days!

Cheers,

Dick
