KO OLINA, Hawaii — Every Canadian golfer wants to be like Brooke Henderson.
Especially when you check the forecast back home.
“At that time of year, when everything at home is grey or white and trees are dead, you come over to Hawaii and there’s this warm air and everything is green, great colours,” said Greg Nichols, the general manager at Ko Olina Golf Club. “Just the contrast, it’s amazing. I mean, what’s not to like? It’s the middle of January, and you have this tropical paradise. And then, I think the aloha spirit is alive and well.
If you’re wondering, Brooke, I did manage to pull myself away from the pool for my afternoon tee-time. And I’m sure glad I did. “She could win anywhere. She has that game that can travel. She’s a major talent. But if I had to put my finger on it, I think it would be that.” While Kapalua’s Plantation Course is in the spotlight every January as home to the Sentry Tournament of Champions, the Bay Course is a little easier on the wallet and ego and just as easy on the eyes. Its bucket-list big brother is carved into the hillside, offering dramatic long-range vistas, but the closing stretch on the Bay brings you right to edge of the surf. You might be wondering if you should have worn sandals instead of soft-spikes.
