Back on Maui, there was some serious golfing to do. I played at Kapalua Village, Bay and Plantation and Wailea Blue. Kapalua Plantation was an extremely tough course with narrow fairways and many hilly lies. It's where the play Lincoln-Mercury Invitational pro tournament every November. I played with a young woman from Japan. I noted from the first hole that she could really play. It turned out that she was a teaching pro from a country club in Japan.

Wailea Blue was much gentler and pretty course with many flowering bushes and trees. From Wailea, you could see Molokini island off the southern coast of Maui. Unfortunately, when I played Kapalua Plantation and Wailea, I didn't bring my camera. The pictures of Kapalua Village and Bay courses were taken a few years ago when I played those courses. The other two Kapalua courses were also challenging, but not as tough as the newer Plantation course.
