Congrats to Michelle Wie!

Read the full article: Michelle Wie holds on to win US Women’s Open - The Washington Post:

"Michelle Wie finally delivered a performance worthy of the hype that has been heaped on her since she was a teenager.

Wie bounced back from a late mistake at Pinehurst No. 2 to bury a 25-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole, sending the 24-year-old from Hawaii to her first major championship Sunday, a two-shot victory over Stacy Lewis in the U.S. Women’s Open."

Golf Hawaii - NCL Pride of America

Updated October 21, 2024

Sadly, the original link broke.

---  the original post follows below  ---

We just got back yesterday from our Hawaii cruise with NCL's Golf Hawaii Program aboard Pride of America.

The cruise ship started/ended in Honolulu Oahu, and visited the islands of Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai. We played on Oahu before joining the cruise, and played 4 times throughout the cruise. This was our first experience with a golf excursion arranged through the cruise ship.

In a nutshell, the golf experience was wonderful and far exceeded our expectations. Here's why:

1. The onboard PGA golf pro, Cory McKim, was the utmost golf professional.
2. He joined us on all the golf outings, making sure the transporation, and golf arrangements for each course was smooth sailing.
3. I've been playing for less than a year and found Cory's teaching style perfect for me, while out on the course, back on the ship's "golfing cage", and during the video analysis of my swing out on the course.

Golf Excursions Booked - Boning Up On Pelz Putting Bible

Updated October 23, 2022

Sadly, the original, most important link broke.

I'm stoked.  Upcoming Norwegian Cruise Line cruise in Hawaii.  Just booked 4 days of golf. They take care of everything, Golf Hawaii Program aboard Pride of America.

In prep, I'm thinking I should be studying up on Dave Pelz' book, Dave Pelz's Putting Bible: The Complete Guide to Mastering the Green (Dave Pelz Scoring Game Series).

In parallel, I'm putting in the hallway.

Travel and Golf Oahu

Image via WikipediaI'm starting my research for a golfing trip on Oahu, Hawaii, in November, and found this site a good place for starters, Welcome to Visit-Oahu - O'ahu Visitors Bureau The O'ahu Chapter of the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau.  This site offers a wealth and breadth of information about Oahu.

Since my interest is golf, I also found a golf page on the site, Golf - Visit Oahu.  It's a nice introduction to what I can expect for my golf outings, and lists a couple of notable golf courses for me to research.

Any Tips for NCL Cruise - Golf HI Program - Pride of America?

Image via Wikipedia

I'm thinking hard about taking advantage of the Golf Hawaii Program on the Norwegian Cruise ship, Pride of America.  The program description looks pretty good, NCL - Golf Hawaii Program aboard Pride of America.

I'm excited about the prospect of playing golf on different Hawaiian islands, and the golf amenities and services that NCL offers.

My question to you, do any of you have any real experience or pearls of wisdom to offer before I jump in head first?
