Free Tennis With the Condo

While staying for a month at The Mahana Condominiums on Kaanapali Beach in Maui, we were able to use the tennis courts for free.

We certainly took advantage of that "perk". Allan and I played together several times, and Allan played doubles with other men, most of whom were younger than he. However, he usually won the games. He is a "scrappy" player; he lets no shot go by!

We were even able to play at night because the courts had lights.

They were excellent hard courts, and we enjoyed playing on them.

Equipment: Good pair of tennis shoes.
Tennis Racket.
Tennis Balls.
Tennis shorts.
Hat with a bill.
Sun Glasses.
Shirt with Collar.
Water Bottled filled with cold water.

For "The Well-Heeled Golfer"

At the Maui Ritz-Carlton Kapalua Resort there are 54 championship holes of golf available, for a price. There is also a fine Golf Academy on the property.

While we walked around exploring the resort, we took this photograph of one of the golf holes. We inquired about golf, and, not surprisingly, discovered that the cost was quite prohibitive for us. We would have to rent clubs, buy a glove, balls, a shirt with a collar and golf shoes. We could not even afford the price of a round of golf, any yet all the equipment. So, we passed.

But, for those of you with money, go for it! They are fantastic courses.

Equipment: Needed to golf on these courses:
1. Money
2. Golf Clubs
3. Golf glove and spikeless golf shoes
4. Proper attire: shirt with collar and slacks
or a pair of shorts that reach just above the
knee.
5. Plenty of golf balls and tees

It's best to golf in Hawaii in the early Fall or late Spring because of the weather.
