This is Golf Smarter.

Welcome to Golf Smarter for members only Kendrick morning

fred aloha helloha thank you very much you very welcome uh just aloha makes you feel so good

obviously we're in hawaii please tell me where we are and what you do here. We are on the beautiful island

of Kauai, um, here at the Kauai Lagoon's golf course. I'm a golf professional here at the

golf course. And how long have you been here? I've been here on Kauai, uh, let's see, going into my

six year, uh, originally born and raised on the island of Maui.

Okay.

And you've been the golf professional here for the entire time you've been in Kauai?

Yes.

Okay.

And I'm curious, tell me about this golf course and what you're associated with.

Here at Kauai Lagoon, we, let's see, if I go back,

I originally came here after Marriott properties took over the Gulf Coast ownership and management.

So we're in the midst of a three-phase renovation project.

So I think what you played the other day was the original, or was the back nine, I'm sorry,

newly renovated back nine.

The front nine was the original KLA golf course, Jack Nicholas signature design course,

and he's also doing the renovations also.
