The best golfers in the world are here at Kapalua this week. They are playing for a $3.5 million first place prize. Some $20 million will be paid out.
We hailed the Kapalua shuttle bus to give us a lift up to the tournament. We went early so we could walk the course. Lucky for us, there were no other hikers on the course, the back nine holes. We took in the beauty as we walked backwards, from hole 18, to 17, etc. Number 18 is one of the most famous holes in golf. Note that I am pointing at the length, a long, long 677 yards. It is sharply downhill so most players are on or near the green in 2 shots. Amazing.
Sit back and enjoy the final two days of the tournament, Saturday and Sunday, on TV as the world's best golfers compete on a super long golf course.
There is a bird here on Maui with a sound like no other. The sound of the Zebra Dove is so pleasant to hear when you step outside. Take a listen:
