Princeville's 18-hole Prince course and 27-hole Makai course will offer free golf lessons in May as part of the PGA's Free Lesson Month. Resort pros will provide personalized 10-minute lessons any day, with reservations.

Lessons will be tailored to the golfer's level of experience. Beginners will receive a brief introduction to golf, casual players might get a few tips to improve their swing, and avid golfers can fine-tune a specific area.

PGA Free Lesson Month is part of PGA's Play Golf America program. Participants can win prizes from the PGA, including a two-day golf getaway at the PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and a custom set of Nike golf clubs. To enter the giveaway, go to PlayGolfAmerica.com, download the Free Lesson Month Card, and bring it to the golf lesson for the pro's signature.

TURTLE BAY LEAGUE

Turtle Bay has started a Honu League that plays every Wednesday through Aug. 20. Tee times begin at 1 p.m. The league will alternate between the resort's Fazio and Palmer courses.

There will be a different 18-hole format each week. Cost is $50 a round for kama'aina and visitors, plus a $25 initiation fee. That includes green fee and cart, practice balls, water, bag tag and post-round pupu. Prizes are awarded after each round and at the conclusion of the season.

To register, call the golf shop at 293-8574.
