Round Played: with Peter Szilva –
By Wayne Halm –
Punched Greens and a Rusty Wayne –
On May 2nd 2015 I played the Kauai Lagoons Golf Course with Peter Szilva from Quebec City, Canada. My wife, Sally, rode along with me.

I had not played in a while and was concerned about being rusty. But I tagged my first drive long and straight and thought, “This is going to be okay.” Then the rust clogged up my gears, any rhythm I ever had faded into a distant memory. By the 8th hole all hopes of a decent score were forgotten.
Kauai Lagoons 8th Hole – Yep, I splashed one.

To say Sally rode with me is misleading. She had her FitBit on and walked. She prized each step and woo-hooed at each thousand.
Sally keeping FitBit happy.

Sally did stand still long enough to take some pictures for us. Though I wish she hadn’t recorded my efforts in such detail.
A punched green and a slope – not a good combination.
.
It is what it is.
.
Peter is a great guy, he was striking the ball well. I enjoyed golfing with him – he laughed with me, not at me. (I really was playing poorly.)
Sally seemed to like Peter too.
.
My score was hopeless and Sally switched over to ‘coaching’ Peter. She is good at it – and coached him into a birdie on 16.
Birdie Celebration

Oh yeah, that is a Birdie Smile.

This day did not work out exactly as I had hoped – but I was having fun on a golf course so it was a good day. That’s the way golf should be.
Come play golf with me.

Aloha Wayne,
Glad to see you played with a Canadian! Hopefully one day you’ll be featuring Josh from Calgary. Even though your scoring was rusty, you never cease to inspire me with your positive attitude and ability to have fun!
Cheers
Josh
Aloha Josh,
I look forward to putting your smiling face in a post. But bring Beth with you. In the ‘eye candy’ department you and I probably need her help.
A while back I played with Lisa ‘Longball’ Vlooswyk from Calgary, check out that post at https://kauaigolf.me/2014/07/30/lisa-longball-vlooswyk/.
A Hui Hou,

Wayne, very cool that you got to play from Lisa Longball! I’ve connected with her on Twitter, but haven’t had the chance to play with her. I’ve heard she’s very nice. Sounds like an awesome day, thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Josh
