INSTRUCTION, CLINICS

'GOLF MY WAY' AT KA'ANAPALI RESORT

Ka'anapali Golf Resort is introducing "Golf My Way," which allows visitors to buy 18 holes and play those holes over seven days.

"This package is perfect for golfers on vacation with their families who don't want to spend the entire day on the course," says Ed Kageyama, PGA General Manager of Ka'anapali. "Parents can play a few holes in the morning, spend the rest of the day doing family activities and come back later during their vacation to finish the round."

On the first day, players tee off on No. 1, but to complete the round golfers may tee off on a different hole until 18 holes are played.

TAYLOR MADE DEMO DAY AT KO OLINA

Ko Olina is having a free golf clinic, followed by a Taylor Made Demo Day Saturday.

Instruction, with a focus on putting, is from 9 to 10 a.m., with the Demo Day following until 2 p.m.

The club is also offering a Kama'aina Twilight Special of $45 plus tax through July 19. It is available after 2 p.m. daily. All players must have valid Hawai'i state identification.
