1 A DEFINITIVE WAY TO EXPERIENCE GOLF IN

2

3 Hawaii, The Big Island, is the youngest and largest island in the Hawaiian chain but it s remarkable for more than just its size. Just try to concentrate. Focus on your swing and not the pristine, black lava-lined fairways and palm tree-speckled greens. Block out the crystal blue waters and the rhythmic crash of waves just beyond the bunker. Try your best to forget that you re playing on one of the most beautiful golf courses you ve ever seen. It may take a few holes, but you ll get used to it. Hawaii Island is known as the Golf Capital of Hawaii with some of the most magnificent courses, crafted by the biggest names in course design - Arnold Palmer, Ed Seay & Trent Jones Sr. Hit a bad shot and you can always blame it on Hawaii Island with these spectacular views that justify a mulligan.
