TPC FOUR SEASONS LAS COLINAS

TPC FOUR SEASONS LAS COLINAS

IRVING, TX 75038

Enjoyed my round at TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas.  This is a nice course and the history of the Byron Nelson Classic being held here for so many years makes it just that more special.
Loved to seeing former U.S. Open winner and Hawaii Men's Golf Coach Scott Simpson on the Wall of Champions!

I have been blessed to dine quite often this year at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.  Thought we would switch it up with a visit to Morton's since we have not eaten their in years.  We were celebrating Pro Golfer and U.S. Open Champion Scott Simpson's appointment as Head Coach for the University of Hawaii Men's Golf Team.  Scott and his Wife Cheryl joined us for what was a really nice dinner with great company.  Morton's printed special menus commemorating the event that said "Congratulations Scott".  Thought that was a very nice touch.  Both the food and service were excellent on this visit.  I went with the Surf and Turf Filet Mignon and Lobster which for $59 is a great deal in Honolulu.  The 6oz portion of meat was perfect for me and the Lobster Tail was sweet and delicious.  Prior to enjoying my entree we had the Chopped House Salad which the waiter split for me and my Wife.  Believe me, one of these salads is big enough for two people.  This salad was fantastic.  I absolutely loved it.  The dressing was great.  Could eat this once a week at least and want to go back just for the salad.
Also enjoyed the Poke and Crab Cake for appetizers.  Sides included Truffle French Fries, Mushrooms and Onions, Brussel Sprouts and Charred Sweet Corn.  The Sweet Corn was amazing and if I were not staying low carb would have finished the entire bowl myself.

Enjoyed lunch at Reflection prior to a round of golf at Hoakalei Country Club.  The restaurant is beautiful and set up for social distancing.  The staff was amazing with customer service and cleanliness.  Seems like the management here has taken training and service up a big notch and it was great to see and experience.  I completely enjoyed the Caesar Salad with fresh fish.  Served with one of the most delicious and fresh pieces of Mahi Mahi that I have ever tasted.  On this day with this fish, I give it a 10!.  The Hoakalei and Spicy Tuna Rolls were also excellent.  Great Sushi here.
After our round of golf, we enjoyed a few beverages and the Appetizer Platter with Hamburgers, Chicken Wings, Egg Rolls, Edamame and Chile with Chips.  While the food was great, the best part of this day was playing a round of golf at Hoakalei which is the BEST course on Oahu and one of the best in the State of Hawaii.  Course is absolutely beautiful, challenging and fun.  Playing alongside US Open Champion Scott Simpson was also fun.  Scott is an incredible person with lots of great stories.  He is humble, respectful and has a great sense of humor.  What a honor to golf with Scott!

HOAKALEI COUNTRY CLUB WITH SCOTT SIMPSON

GOLF WITH SCOTT SIMPSON
HOAKALEI COUNTRY CLUB

Scott Simpson, U.S. Open Golf Champion in awe of my bomb drives which were landing within feet of his at Hoakalei Country Club.  While my drives were good they only once came even close to the Champ.  Nice to play a round with Scott who lives in Hawaii and helps coach the University of Hawaii Woman's Golf team.  Scott is super funny, humble and motivated to teach golf and life lessons to our kids.  What a great day at Hoakalei!

So blessed to live in Hawaii and spend a day golfing at the Mid Pacific Country Club.  Such a beautiful part of our Island and worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki.  While my game was not on today, the weather, friends and course were unbelievable.  I took my time driving to the golf course taking the long away around the South Shore.  Grabbed a cup of coffee and stopped off at some of my favorite beaches and just took it all in.  What a great day in paradise!
