The Club at Kukuiula’s first Men’s Member Championship teed off June 17 and 18.<\/p>\n
Though it was the men’s championship, former LPGA player Mary Bea Porter King, president of the Hawaii State Junior Golf Association, filled out one of the foursomes.<\/p>\n
The team of Tom Jochner and Peter Sirois won with a two-day, best-ball total of seven under par.<\/p>\n
The course, designed by Tom Weiskopf, opened officially just four days before the tournament.<\/p>\n
Though a private club, it provides four tee times daily for Kaua’i residents. To qualify, call the Kaua’i-only hotline – 742-3010 – one week before the date you want to play. If more players call than there are openings, the club will hold a lottery. June 22 was the first day for the local program, says head pro Brian Paul, and all 16 slots were filled.<\/p>\n
