In 1987 while in Maui, I golfed at a course called Waiehu Municipal Golf Course
Starter’s Gate
I was lucky to get a tee time and had quite a wait because it was foggy. I was amazed at the fivesome running down the fairway and disappearing in the FOG. I played with a NATIVE Hawaiian. He was a nice golfer and an even nicer man. The course was well maintained and a really nice layout.
The next day I was put with an older threesome, a gentleman and two ladies from Seattle, Washington. They announced that they had brought lunch and would be stopping to eat after nine holes.
They said I must not go in and buy lunch as they had brought enough lunch for four. We parked our carts in the shade of some trees and asked the foursome following us to play through. Not only did they have fantastic sandwiches, but they had cold beer, too.
After the round, they insisted I play with them again the following day AND DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT BRINGING LUNCH! WE WILL. It did not take long for me to decide.
We met the next morning and instead of three golf cars we had just two. I shared the car with one of the ladies. We had another wonderful day; all three were good golfers, not Par golfers but were never into any trouble. We kept up a good pace and had a lot of visiting. They were so curious about life in Saskatchewan and they also shared their life stories. True to their word they brought LUNCH. Good sandwiches, pickles and fruit as well as beer. How fun was that?
A great memory.
