Kapalua Plantation - 9/4/2001
What can you say about Kapalua!!! It's awesome and has some very spectacular
views, but is really tough to score on. The fairways are quite wide but
there are lots of large carries and holes where you must lay up or place
your shots. It is very long with the whites over 6550 and a slope of 135.
The greens were large but a little bumpy (recently aerated); combining
that with the wind meant that 3-putts were very common. I didn't think
I played it badly, in spite of my 99! I would not replay this one as it
was simply too expensive ($200) to do more than once.
Scores were Jim - 93, John - 99, Roy - 109, Terry - 97.
This course is so majestic, we couldn't stop taking pictures of it. Here are a handful of the shots ...
