Shayna Miyajima of Maui, who plays on the Duramed Futures Tour, was recently mentioned in the tour's newsletter for having a club with an unusual flair.

Engraved on the back of her 56-degree Titleist Vokey wedge is "humuhumunukunukuapuaa."

Why does Miyajima have the name of the fish on her golf club?

"My club fitter is in San Diego and he's trying to learn Hawaiian words and I guess he just really liked that one," she said.

Miyajima, 25, is in her second year on the Futures Tour.
