February 15, 2007, Thursday, Day 19

The LPGA season opened today with the SBS (Seoul Broadcasting System) Open at Turtle Bay’s Palmer Course on the North Shore. We took the 2 hour trip (each way) from Waikiki to take it in. It was great fun to see the players we’ve seen on TV for years, Inkster, Davies, Webb, and Canadians Coe Jones and Kane. Plus all the new young guns, several Americans and a contingent of Koreans, they can hit it a ton. The weather was perfect with light winds, the course is awesome, the officials and volunteers were extremely friendly and helpful, (they gave us bottled water and subway sandwiches, but the beer cart didn’t show up). But they don’t let you take photos, except for the leader board at the Pro Shop, and I snapped a photo of the surf off of the 17th hole, much bigger than Monday.
