Kapalua has to be one of the most beautiful places in Hawaii or on earth. I love the trees, ocean and resort feeling of this exclusive area that seems to be far removed from the tourists in Kaanapali and Lahaina. If I were to pick a place to retire and live Kapalua would be tops on the list. Always try to make it out to the Hyundai Tournament of Champions golf event held at the Plantation Course. If you are a golf fan and want to meet some of the greatest players in the world I recommend you attend the Pro Am day. This is the day where the players are relaxed and take time to sign autographs and take pictures. You need to be strategic on where you wait for the players. We usually hang near the 10th hole at first and then move around from there. The Plantation Course is long and full of hills. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to do a lot of walking. Two moments stand out on this day. One was Bubba Watson who seemed at first to not want to sign autographs or interact with fans. We caught him at the end of a hole as he was coming off the green. I had a photo of me and Bubba from last years event that I held up and asked him to sign. Bubba said "sure" and then proceeded to sign everything we had. He was polite and posed for photos. Basically took as much time as necessary to accommodate all of our requests. Bubba really showed class here and I will never forget this. Another moment was with Matt Kuchar who is one of my favorite players on tour. Like my Bubba photo, I had a Kuchar photo from last year that I wanted to get signed. Kuch saw it and with a huge smile said he would sign it. He then posed for pictures and took time to engage us. Kuch is an amazing player and person. He is the perfect person to represent golf and the PGA. Always smiling, always competing and always remembering the fans. Hunter Mahan and Russell Henley also gave us their time and signed autographs and posed for photographs. Most players on the course during the Hyundae Pro Am will always stop for a moment in between holes. You just need to be polite and be patient.
