Always happy to pass on word of some neato torpedo Web sites that deal with two of our favorite things, golf and Hawaii.
Ever wanted to play someplace new, but hated the idea of going in cold?
Well thanks to a new site, golfflyovers.com, you can get an eagle's eye view of a number of courses, some of them yes, even in Hawaii.
See above image of Hualalai on the Big Island.
Look's like the next best thing to walking the course for an advance practice round to me.
Also, see the full on full news release on Fly Over Golf Courses at GolfFlyover.com.
The site's fine founders say it provides more than 5,000 golf course flyovers and layout maps across the U.S. using Google Earth™ and Google Maps™.
Best of all, it's all provided free of charge, no membership or registration necessary. But you do have to download and install Google Earth.
You can also send in requests if they've missed any, and yes, we'd like to see more Big Island courses on their, naturally.
I can't wait to check out the flyover of the course I'm going to play next week against one of my golf buddies. I'd go into more detail, but as a golfer, you're always looking for anything to give you any extra edge. So, mum's the word, eh?
this is cool. thanks for the tip.

Peter:
Dude...thanks for the response. I sure hope you offer discounts to those who visit the Big Island and mention they saw it on the www.ourkonacondo.com blog. Otherwise, it might be a situation where we're dealing with that unsatisfying, untasty version of you know what!

I love golf because I grew up with my dad who also love this game. I also adore golf courses which are surrounded by water. Why? because I found it more challenging once the ball threw up in water.

Hualalai on the Big Island is the best place to play golf despite of its coldness. In fact there are lot of experts who used to play here. Some Championship and tournament were also held here

Believe it or not the weather you are playing in can make a difference in which golf ball you use. Course conditions can also dictate golf ball choice. Let’s say the course has been deluged with rain. In this case, you will need a ball that will travel father and produces less spin. If you are playing on a rock hard, sun-scorched track, choose something softer that will land soft and spin
