Waialae Golf Club

 I got the invite to play a round at Waialae Country Club today.  This is a rare invitation so I had to drop everything I was doing this day to play this course!
 It was a beautiful day.  Trades about 10-20 mph.  Super sunny!  I haven't played a round in awhile so I  I knew I'd have my hands full with this course!  
 This is a view of the second hole par 3.  This is #11 for the Sony Open.  I guess they flip the nines around during the tournament.

 This is a really good area to be during the tourney.  There's like two greens and three tee boxes all in on place.  A lot of pros are crisscrossing at this intersection.
 They are getting the course ready for the open.  Growing out the rough and the greens are rolling super fast!  It's like putting on an ice sheet!  It looks like a beautiful walk in the park on a Sunday afternoon but this course is a MONSTER!  I've never seen so many trees on a course in my life!  A lot of little trees placed strategically just off the fairways so if you miss a little left or right "Punch city baby!"

 The 8th...
One of favs of all time.  Somewhere on the back nine....
 Yes that is my ball.  I got lucky.  Haha!
 A view of the range and the my friends I was playing with.  On the 18th hole.  

Here's the the view of the 7th hole green.  Super rad how they got those coconut trees to do that.  I had a great time and I hope to get another invitation soon.  Happy Veterans Day.....  Especially to my Dad and Brother.
