THE COURSE The 18-hole championship Poipu Bay Golf Course is a Hawaiian Classic situated on 210 oceanfront acres adjacent to Grand Hyatt Kauaʻi Resort & Spa. COMBINING THE BEAUTY OF NATURE AND THE DESIGN OF ROBERT TRENT JONES, JR The course is bordered by emerald-green mountains, 30 acres of tropical plants, and ancient places of worship. 85 BUNKERS, 5 WATER HAZARDS, WILDLY VARYING TRADE WINDS The 7,123 yard, par-72 course played host to the PGA Grand Slam of Golf from 1994-2006, with the most difficult entry requirements of any event in golf. GREENS Sea Shore Paspalum hybrid (supreme). Along with being more eco friendly by using less herbicides and water, the grass provides a more consistent putting surface. EXCEPTIONAL AMENITIES In-cart satellite navigation, bottled water, and cold citrus-scented towels to keep you refreshed after your round. HOLE-BY-HOLE (1-4) HOLE 1 -- Par 4 -- 428 Yards. The tradewinds are directly behind the player and slightly from the right on the first hole, which is bordered by bunkers on both sides of the fairway. For players to take advantage of the tradewinds at their back, the preferred shape of the tee shot should be right to left. With this shot, the player should have little trouble carrying the bunker on the left and will be set up for a short iron into the green. There are no distinct slopes on this green, and the break is subtle, making it a difficult green to read and to hold. HOLE 2 -- Par 5 -- 524 Yards. This seemingly reachable par five plays uphill and into the wind. The large fairway bunker to the right misleads the player, as it appears to be driveable but plays longer than it looks. Choosing the right center of the fairway gives the player the best angle for a lay-up or the option to attack the hole in two. The well-guarded green, with bunkers, deep rough and grassy hollows, provides penalties to those who miss it. Paying close attention to wind and grain direction is crucial in judging putts on this hole. HOLE 3 -- Par 3 -- 209 Yards. The third hole plays the longest of all par 3s on the course. With the wind sweeping from left to right, his hole provides options to the player. The shape of shot off the elevated tee will play a significant part in the decisions ahead. Players who choose a left to right shape will need to aim significantly to the left and expect the ball to bounce and roll in the same direction. Choosing the other shape will mean more club but better control of the ball on the ground. Either way, this is the strongest 3 par the player will face on the course. HOLE 4 -- Par 4 -- 380 Yards. This hole plays into prevailing winds, giving players their first taste of the type of shots that are necessary to be successful on this course. Controlling the trajectory off the tee and on the approach will prove crucial on all holes that play into the wind. On most of the holes that play in this direction, par is a good score. On this hole, a large cross-bunker creates a dogleg right for most players, but there’s plenty of room to the left. Driving the ball in the left center of the fairway will leave players with a straightforward knock-down shot into a well-bunkered green. The large chipping area to the right of the green, past the bunker, offers players their only bail-out on the 2nd shot. HOLE-BY-HOLE (5-8) HOLE 5 -- Par 4 -- 355 Yards. The 5th fairway may not be one of the longest on the course, but it certainly provides one of the most challenging tee shots. With bunkers to the left and right, the wide, sloping fairway feeds balls into a hollow on the left. Placing the ball in the right side of the fairway sets up a simple pitch to a slightly elevated green. Out of all the holes that play into the wind, this one yields the most birdies, but players who miss the fairway will be challenged to walk away with par. HOLE 6 -- Par 5 -- 573 Yards. The longest hole on the course, the 6th has proven to play the easiest over the years. As the course changes direction once again, play is now downwind with firm, fast fairways giving most players a green light in going for the green. The 6th green is the second largest on the course--odd to find it on a par five. Large undulating slopes dissect the middle of the green, which is guarded by deep bunkers left and right. To have any chance for birdie, the player must place the ball in the proper area of the green. The target is the left side. HOLE 7 -- Par 3 -- 179 Yards. The shortest par 3 on the course, this is a short but difficult hole. Bunkers surround the front, left and back of the green, and a large pond guards the right. Most players will view this hole as an opportunity to be aggressive, using a relatively short club into a relatively large green. However, players must judge the wind well and commit to the line to have any chance to get it close. The wind will carry the ball, and the back bunker catches a lot of shots. The large green, terraced from left to right, has subtle slopes, making it nearly impossible to read. HOLE 8 -- Par 4 -- 374 yards. For most players the 8th hole is where the course begins. Here, the course turns back into the wind, presenting some of Poipu Bay’s most difficult and scenic holes. From the tee the player faces bunkers left and right as well as a barranca bordering the right side of the fairway.

  • Michael Campbell Uses Callaway Golf Prototype Driver to Win His Fifth International Tournament of the Season
    Michael Campbell Uses Callaway Golf Prototype Driver To Win His Fifth International Tournament Of The Season CONTACT(S): Larry Dorman, Mike Galeski, Peter Gotfredson, Millie Speirs (760) 931-1771 CARLSBAD, CA., October 2, 2000 – Using a new prototype driver from Callaway Golf (NYSE:ELY), Michael Campbell notched his fifth international tournament victory of the 2000 season this past weekend when he won the Linde German Masters by one stroke. In addition to his two Australasian Tour victories in 2000, Campbell has now won three PGA European Tour events this year and has moved into fifth place on the European Order of Merit with two events left to play. Campbell’s driving distance average with the prototype driver at the Linde German Masters was 295 yards. “I have driven the ball quite well since switching to this new driver,” said Campbell, who carded an eagle and five birdies during his third-round 65. “The way I’m hitting the ball, it’s fun to come out to the course and know I have a chance of winning every week.” Campbell used 12 Callaway Golf® clubs in his victory, including a Steelhead Plus™ Strong 4-wood, Steelhead Plus 5-wood, Big Bertha® X-12® Irons and an Odyssey® Dual Force® Putter. Callaway Golf Staff Professional Colin Montgomerie finished tied for third at the event using 12 Callaway Golf clubs and a Callaway Golf “Rule 35™” Firmfeel™ (red logo) ball. Campbell’s victory was one of three yesterday by players using drivers made by Callaway Golf. Odyssey Golf Staff Professional Lori Kane, who won the New Albany Golf Classic in a playoff, used a Hawk Eye® Pro Series Titanium Driver and a Callaway Golf ball in her second LPGA Tour victory of the season.

  • Tax Sand Traps for Ernie Els and Other Pro Athletes South Africa’S Ernie Els Won the 141St British Open and Should Be Relishing His Success, Not Worrying About Taxes
    Robert W. Wood THE TAX LAWYER Jul. 24 2012 — 12:00 am Tax Sand Traps For Ernie Els And Other Pro Athletes South Africa’s Ernie Els won the 141st British Open and should be relishing his success, not worrying about taxes. Even less successful professional golfers may not engender much sympathy. The money seems incredible, the work seems better than Ernie Els of South Africa holds the Claret Jug, 'The what most of us do for a Golf Champion Trophy' after winning the 2012 British Open Golf Championship at Royal Lytham and St living, and the adoring fans Annes in Lytham, north-west England, on July 22, 2012. Els won the championship with a score of 273, and media seem generally one shot clear of Adam Scott of Australia. (Image supportive. And think of that credit: AFP/Getty Images via @daylife) endorsement income! Still, if you’ve ever waged a tax battle—or even had difficulty trying to figure out something that is supposedly simple—you might feel differently. Imagine not just dealing with the IRS or your own home country’s tax rules. Suppose you earn income in various countries and must apportion it and pay tax in many different places? Welcome to the world of the professional athlete. For the British Open, it isn’t only winnings that are at stake. It is also endorsement income. The UK’s tax collector, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, does a shipshape job of revenue collection and administration, some say better than the IRS. In fact, even those who did not make The Open cut and didn’t earn money from the tournament must pay taxes on endorsements.
