TRAVEL THERAPY

Fore! Here’s one golf school that’s sure to impress, that is if you can keep your eye on the ball and NOT on the gorgeous scenery!

I found the Kapalua Golf Academy in Maui when I was staying next door at The Ritz and decided vacation would be a great time to work on my golf game. I didn’t have time to take advantage of one of their tow or three day schools but I did buzz by for a one-hour private lesson and walked away with a better understanding of the game AND a better swing! Also cool, not only do they take a video of your swing they also take several photos that they blow up as 8×10s to show you what you’re doing during the lesson and to take home with you to remember what you learned. I also found out this is where superstar golfer Michelle Wie often comes when she’s in Hawaii and wants to work on her swing. Other highlights include:

*23 acres overlooking Pacific Ocean

*85,000 square feet of grass teeing area
