LPGA LOTTE CHAMPIONSHIP - KO'OLINA GOLF COURSE


LPGA LOTTE CHAMPIONSHIP
KO'OLINA GOLF COURSE

Blessed to get a couple of VIP Passes to the LPGA Lotte Championship at Ko'Olina.  The passes allowed us access to the players dining room and a special bar area overlooking the 18th hole. Me and my daughter enjoyed breakfast with many of the players the morning of the final round.  I grabbed my eggs and coffee with LPGA players all around me.  I asked one of the Korean players if she liked playing in America.  Her answer with a big smile was "of course, we love it here".  We did not bother the golfers while eating. Just enjoyed the time with my daughter and took it all in.  With my daughter hitting the pool in the afternoon, me and a friend walked the course following the leaders.  We ended up back in the VIP section with about five groups left to finish.  We pulled up two high chairs overlooking the 18th green, ordered a bottle of champagne and enjoyed watching the finish is style.  Click below to see my other blog post on the LPGA Lotte:

BREAKFAST AT SNACK SHOP 

Really excited to see my first LPGA event in Hawaii.  As a fan of Michele Wie, I started watching woman's golf when she began to play in professional events.  While Michele's wins did not come as expected, I became a big fan of Yani Tseng, I.K. Kim and many other LPGA favorites.   This week was my chance to watch Yani Tseng in person and I was pumped up.  Add the fact that it was my daughters birthday and we were bound to have a great time.  There is only one restaurant at Ko'Olina Golf course and that is Roy's.  Roy's was closed for breakfast and lunch during the tournament as they served at the players and VIP Guests only.  While I did cop some VIP passes, we at at the Snack Bar off the 18th hole the first day here.  Enjoyed a pretty good breakfast sandwich for only $4.  Sat at the snack bar eating our breakfast as some of the biggest stars of the LPGA walked by and said hi.
