I-9 ngemini inikeza umdlalo ongenamkhawulo kwiKukuiolono Park kunye nekhosi yegalufa
"Yidlala nathi, mna," indawo yangasese engaqhathananga nanjengoko sathi sihamba ukuya kwi-tee yokuqala kwi-Kukuiolono, kwiklasi yegalufu eyi-9 kwiqithi laseKauai eHawaii. Igalofu kwi-Kauai idla iindleko ezinkulu, kodwa kule khosi kawonkewonke libiza kuphela i-$ 7 ukudlala ngexesha leveki kunye ne-$ 9 ngeveki. Kunzima ukubetha ixabiso - okanye isimemo - njengaleyo.
Yiluphi utshintsho ukusuka kusuku lokuqala, xa sidlala iPrince Course.
Ngexesha lokuhlawula imirhumo yemifuno kunye neenqwelo zeenqwelo zee-3 zeeRandi apho ePrinceville, sava abantu basemva kwethu bexubana ngeenxa zonke zabo "kwikhondo elingafanelekanga" abalidlala ngalo ngaphambili. Ukujonga kwimilenze ye-golfer, unokubona ukuba wayezame ukufumana iibhola zegalufa ezilahlekileyo ezihlahleni zameva ecaleni kwendlela ebizwa ngokuba yiPrince Course, kungekhona into endiyincoma ngayo abantu abaninzi.
Sasihleka indlela yethu kwiimbobo ezithoba, inombulelo kakhulu kumdlalo (kunye nakwinqanaba!) Izimvo ezivela kwizikhokelo zethu zegalufa. Ukugqwesa kwam okulungileyo (ubuncinane ngokuhleka) kwakuyibhola eyayiwela ngqo kumthi kakhukhunathi kwisango lesibini, elalihlotshiswe ngeebhola zegalufi ezimhlophe, eziphuzi, ezipinki kunye nolwandle. Kucacile ukuba ndingeyena mntu wokuqala ukuba ndiwutyelele kuloo ndawo.
Yintoni enokuyilindela xa udlala i-Kukuiolono
Ikhosi iyafakwa kwiintaba ezijongene nolwandle, elikude malunga neekhilomitha. Ukuba ungumqali, uya kuthanda i-fairways ebanzi, enokuxolela kakhulu izibhamu eziphosakeleyo.
Ubulungile, abanolwazi oluninzi, abagadi begolfu abanakuyifumana le ngxaki inzima, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo kuyonwaba kakhulu. Oku kubangelwe kungabi nxalenye encinci kwinto yokuba akukho rangers ekunyanzelayo xa uyeka ukungena kwiimbono, okanye uchithe umzuzu ngaphezu kwexesha elibiweyo kwiziko ezibiza kakhulu.
Lindela umoya ujikeleze umhlaba, imithi emininzi, iingozi ezimbalwa, kwaye mhlawumbi inkukhu yasendle okanye iimbumba ezimbini. Uyazi, ngokufana neemeko kwikhosi yakho yangasemva ekhaya.
Kutheni i-Golf e-Cheap Cheap Kauai, eHawaii?
Unokucinga ukuba igalulo elincinci kule siqithi yi-oxymoron, xa izifundo ezininzi zibiza i-$ 100 ukuya kwii-200 zama-200 okanye ngaphezulu ukudlala. Apha, i $ 9 kuphela ilungelo lokudlala yonke imini. (Phinda i-$ 3 ngenqwelo yenqwelo okanye i-$ 9 ngenqwelo yenqwelo yegesi.) Oko kuthetha ukuba unokuhlala ixesha elide njengoko ufuna, kwaye udlale amaninzi amaninzi njengoko ungathanda. Kunzima ukudlulisela idibanti enjalo.
Ndiyabulela uWalter McByde, unyana kaDuncan McBryde owaphuhlisa le mhlaba emva kokuqeshisa kwiKumkani Kamehameha III ngo-1860 ukugcina amanani aphantsi. UWalter, umtsalane weshukela kunye negolfu, wabuya wathengisa ilifa waza wakha ikhosi emva kowe-1929. Xa wafa ngo-1919, wanikela kwilizwe laseHawaii kuba wayefuna ukuba abahlali babe nekhosi abanokukwazi ukuyidlala. UWalter wayemthanda igalofu kangangokuthi wacela ukuba angcwatywe kwikhosi engekude kwi-8 hole. Esi sicelo sasihlonishwa, kwaye usenokwazi ukubona amathuna akhe apho udlula kude kube nanamhla.
Zonke zixelelwe, kukho ikhosi yegalufu e-10 efunyanwa kwi-Kauai, ezinye zazo zididi lwehlabathi ngokwemveliso kunye nomngeni.
Bobabini uJack Nicklaus noRobert Trent Jones, uJr. baye bakhe iikholeji kwisiqithi, kunye nePGA ezininzi zihlaselwa ngokudlala ijikelezi okanye ezimbini xa zivakatye kule ndawo. Ngamanye amazwi, i-Kauai iparadesi yeparadesi, kunye neKu Kukuiolono enika ukuhlaziywa okuninzi kakhulu kwiikhosi ezithengiweyo ezifumanekayo kwenye indawo. Ngokuqinisekileyo, uninzi lwabanye luncedo olungcono, kodwa lukhuni ukubetha iKu Kukuiolono ngokubhekiselele kumnandi.
