Nathan & Phil's golf tour continues......
Today, Nathan and Phil traveled to the northern part of Oahu to play golf at the famous Turtle Bay Resort. Although it's only about 30 miles north, it still takes an hour to drive there due to the winding, coastal road route that must be taken. We arrived at about 11 AM and had a fish (Ahi tuna) lunch on the patio of the club house overlooking the practice green. There are two 18 hole layouts at Turtle Bay: the Fazio and the Palmer courses. We played the easier of the two (Fazio). A PGA tour event is played every year on the Palmer course. This was a more relaxing, enjoyable day of golf than the previous at Ko'olau. Wide fairways and aprons allowed us to approach each hole from multiple angles. Phil even had a birdie on hole number nine. The toughest part of playing on this course was dealing with the howling trade winds that knock down all of your shots. Oh yes, the greens were the fastest that we'd yet experienced on this island.
