I know you can do it through most proshops (and they have deals at this point like buy 3 get the 4th free), but I don't know if they'll do 2/3 dozen. Vice will do that though, and they might be your best bet.

Played Kapalua Plantation today and it is an absolutely epic experience.
My only complaint is the winds were so extreme it become almost unplayable for us in them middle 6 holes or so.
I know this area gets that a lot and it's part of the challenge of the course, but it was just wacky golf for a few holes.
The greens are so difficult to putt on, its flies down grain and the putts like velcro on the way back. Very hard to read, as even up hill putts just keep rolling if with the grain (and vice versa the other way).
I managed to drive the green on the par 4 #12 and drove 374 yards on #18.
These crazy downslope holes are a lot of fun for setting new personal records.
Also went into the mens locker room and got some photos with the player lockers for Tiger, Theegala, Taylor, Hovland and others.
Aside from the wind, it's a difficult yet playable course for even mid handicappers like myself. Lots of shots I'll look back at with pride, and overall felt good about the game I played today.
I'll try to post some pics in the next couple of days.

Anyone know how the masters.com stream works? I'm on a VPN so it's working but only holes 4-5-6 and no option to go to multi-screens, which seems odd.

It's in great shape. Some of the greens are still a little brown and need some maturing but still roll fine. Fairways are great. Hole 18 showed no signs of further slippage. No wind to speak of which is highly unusual for the course. Overall perfect temps.
Course also has new power carts.

I played blue devil Sunday afternoon for the first round of the year. Pretty good conditions considering the time of year.
But pace of play… I don’t think I can keep golfing if it’s going to be 5 hour rounds.
Off to Victoria Monday for 3 rounds. Hope the pace is better there!

Heritage Pointe on Sunday was similar, painfully slow 9 holes, but I figure its early season and people are very rusty.

Booked Wilderness down in Eureka with a client this Monday. Apparently it’s fully open and in good shape?
Golf seems like a perfectly reasonable activity while I wait for the snow to melt and biking to start.

Blue Devil - tighter tee off times, high cost, annoying Marshals that linger, and they think they have the greatest course.
The course is pretty good. Just need the operations to care about the player experience and pull back on the greed.
