" KAMEHAMEHA " provided a wonderful place for us to 'grow up'!! Of course some of us took a little longer than others but after the big 5-O, and Kauai, most of us have made it to 'grown up' status.
So What Happen on Friday. I don't remember!! I trying to forget!!! Nah..........We had a blast!!!!
Tomi Chong & Joe Au from Imua71 took 1st place honors with a net score of 58. Tomi's back is a little sore from carrying Joe so much and baby can she putt!!! Congratulations. They both won a well deserved night's stay at the Prince Hotel in Waikiki and two rounds of golf at the Prince GC.
Upon careful consideration and in consultation with the Accounting Firm of Chong, Alo, & Hiranaka, we wish to congratulate our own '69-ers Linda Rosehill & Gilbert Chee our 2nd place winners-(rounds of golf); Cindy Swain & Me-2-U-No-Who!!-for coming in third-(putters & KK bags); and congratulations to Noa Chong & Bobby Willing for coming in fourth-(wedges & KK bags).
Congratulations to Imua70 for taking home the First Place Kapalama Kup for the second year in a row!
After a gallant effort Imua69 did better than last year. We came in Second all by ourselves!!
Every team won prizes and the lucky # drawings kept going & going for over twenty minutes we had so many prizes to give away. Mahalo plenty to all our sponsors & classmates for your generous donations.
We have made a request for the reigning two time Champions, Imua70.
Please Host the tournament during our 35th Class Reunion week in June of 2004.
We should have more classmates participate as we encourage our Singers, Ringers, & Zingers from mainland America to join in the fun!! Eh, Kimo, Joe, Perry, & the rest of our Imua69'ers, don't be shy just come out & play. Of course we also hope to have extra bonus points for having our Coyote's participate & cheer us on to Victory next year.
Without a doubt, it is better to have tried and come in second then to have never tried at all. Besides, we going have more fun next year no matter what!!
Mahalo for all the photo's, keep them coming. Wow, that Double Rainbow was just Awesome as we were just coming off the course!!
Highlights:
Special presentation of an umbrella signed by all Imua69 participants to Tomi Chong for all her hard work in helping us Host this year.
Presentation of Warren Dennison's art work picture to brother Pat Nakoa for all his efforts in making our Class Golf Shirts & Hats. Mahalo Pat, we looked especially good.
Lorraine picking three Imua69 golfers names in a row from the lucky draw bottles of all the golfers that hit their balls on the four par 3 greens on the course.
Eda tells me during the lucky # drawing, "Oh, let's give the TV away", I say "here Eda, pick the winning #", Eda reaches in the bottle and pulls out, "Charlie Soon's" winning ticket. Folks, you should have been there and seen the smile on Charlie's face!! Awesomely Beautiful.
The list goes on and on. Everyone just kept talking about what a great time they had together and how Wonderful the Imua69 Class was in Hosting the 2003 Papa 'Ekolu Goodwill Golf Tournament.
