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.

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.

	13-Apr	14-Apr	15-Apr	Total 2 of 3
Ralph Butlin	25	34	31	65
Dean Curry	30	35	37	72

Michael O’Hehir	26	38	32	70
Kelly Parks	41	34	37	78
Graeme Theobald	32	25	27	59

The overall winner was Kelly Parks from Texas, Gloria Gardner came second and Dean Curry was third. Graeme Theobald claimed the nearest to the pin. All agreed that it was a lot of fun, great courses and a pleasure to attend.

Scottsdale is the next WAGA event in May.
