Kapalua Golf ~Date~

The Hubs and I met golfing
he was in my foursome
It was a work thing..
It was at the most incredible golf course in the NW
The Coeur d'Alene Resort



home of the only floating green
translation from French
~Heart of the Awl~
a fur trapping thing
anyway...

He remembers looking at the
~ roster~
having to play with a couple of women
was not his idea of a fun day of golf
boy was he wrong!

That is where we went back to get married....


So golf has been an important thing in our lives
until the last few years...
injury's, traveling and just plain laziness
have gotten in the way of our golfing

Yesterday we had one of those days
where all the exciting memories of courtship were rekindled
he used to ask me to go
~golfing~
instead of asking me to go
~out~
a good way for a guy to ask a girl for a date
right?
doesn't really sound like a date just a golf game
nobody could feel rejected then...

Before we left for
~Hawaii~
he told me he wanted us to play
a round of golf
so
 I took some badly needed
~lessons~
they paid off
thank you Sarah...I love you!

I had the best round of golf I've had in so long..
it was thrilling to be playing well at one of the
most beautiful courses in the world...




This course is the home of some really famous
tournaments





We even saw whales that stopped
all the golfers in their tracks

he was way out there but I got him


he hates having his picture taken


and I made it across





Look at these beautiful homes along the course
They have a great view for whale watching


of course it doesn't have that same
~specialness~
 that
The Coeur d'Alene does


But I felt we were on one of those dates again...



Maybe that is what
~Hawaii~
 does to us old married folk
reminds us of what is important
~Love~

  2. We went to Hawaii in December 2006 til the first part of January 2007. We all love it there! My hubby enjoyed the golf course (I was pregnant then so can't go golfing) so much that he wanted us to go back there soon!

  3. That was so sweet! I've been to Coeur D'Alene, but never to golf.
    That was so cute - that your husband could ask you to golf, as opposed to asking you on a date. Well, whatever, it worked and there you are, still a twosome in Hawaii!

  4. What beautiful pictures! When you are in PV do you all play much golf there? My son and husband play at Isla de Navidad and Tamarindo. They rarely get the chance since we are down there to work... but given the chance that is where they go. It's beautiful!
    Hope things are safe in PV.

  5. What a fabulous trip!! I loved reading about how you met, it's a great story. The pictures you took were amazing.
    I've never been to Hawaii so I enjoyed seeing all of the photos.
