Monterey California Golf Tour with WAGA May/June 2012
Join us 28 May – 1 June 2012 on the WAGA Monterey California Golf Tour
If America has a counterpart to St. Andrews – Scotland’s ancestral home of golf – it is the Monterey Peninsula in California.
For many years, golfers have made the pilgrimage to play the Old Course at St. Andrews, the original seaside links and the oldest course in the world. In the United States, the mecca for golfers is a stretch of spectacularly rugged shoreline that is home to Cypress Point and numerous golf courses, including Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill.
Whilst the World Airline Golfing Alliance would love to say that on this occasion, we will play those courses; circumstances dictate that we will not. But the area has so many renowned golf courses, WAGA was fortunate to find suitable alternate golf destinations.
So book your holidays, book your airfares and join WAGA in Monterey, the 28th of May until the first of June, 2012.

Back from California
Jen and I visited California in late April with a view for a tournament for May 2012.
We checked out San Francisco, Monterey and Carmel. Plenty of good hotels, great golf courses and prices were reasonable, certainly for Aussies as our dollar is very strong. Shopping was also very good according to Jen. There are 56 photos of general interest now on the web.
We leave for Bordeaux on 13/5/11 and have 30 golfers and 8 non-golfers. Sun City is also popular as is Lk. Taupo.
WAGA are facing a huge challenge with Cairns in September. A cyclone, too much rain and poor media have left the area facing a huge tourist problem. WAGA are feeling the affect of these natural dramas and a new advertising programme has been launched to compensate for the mixed feelings about the area. Since WAGA started in 1998, it has not cancelled an event but at this stage, it is being considered. If you want to come, if you have friends, let me know. We need applicants!
Happy golfing, Brian Lassen; WAGA

Honolulu results
The select group who chose to come to Honolulu are enjoying the wonderful hotel, weather and the ambience of Hawaii. The Pete Dye course, Luana Hills was a true test of golf with Ko Olina being the best of the three courses.
Wednesday was a fine day here on the west side of Hawaii and the sunset cruise on the Makani was fun.
Thursday was another fine day and golf was at Hawaii Prince. Good conditions suited all players but the eventual winner was unchallenged! Travelling back to the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani was an experience with our bus breaking down near the airport. Still we managed to make the final dinner at the Sheraton Moana which all agreed was simply fabulous.
