Thanks, Kevin. That view, for the time being, is history, but we'll be back on the 11th for the Sony and my 'work' -- -- with BG and also, the Aloha Section of the PGA of America.
We're now down safe and sound in Kapalua and all checked in at the Ritz Carlton. http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Proper...ui/Default.htm There's a larger airport about fifty minutes away, but we flew directly into Kapalua, one of the smallest I've seen. How small is it? [Drum roll . . . ] It's so small that the bag guy took the bags from the plane and put them directly on the baggage claim belt (first photo). The belt never moved, of course, and we passengers -- all thirteen of us -- just picked up our bags and walked away.
The second photo is off our new balcony located on the resort's Bay Course. The SBS is played across the way on the Plantation Course. I've called my friends at the Kapalua Golf Academy and will take the shuttle up there early tomorrow. They tell me there's a top teebox with a spectacular ocean view, and I'm looking forward to launching two or three hundred practice balls in that direction!
Meanwhile, BG and I have traded texts and phone calls. Based on his MO, we'll meet up at the Plantation Course in the afternoon. Work, work, work . . .
