Kiahuna Golf Friday Skins Game

Those of you who know me know I love to golf, almost as much as I love real estate (lol).  But what I really love is some nice friendly competition to go along with it. The Kiahuna Golf Club has a skins game that involves  monies to be won along with a stay at Koloa Landing, an excellent spot on the South shore!

Here I am putting a little money where my mouth is.

Golf Boys

What it also showcases is some of the amazing new developments in that area, with the residential properties at Kiahuna and Poipu Beach estates and my personal favorite Pili Mai, which sits just at the edge of the course! Now I know what your thinking, and the answer is yes, I can expense our "meeting" on the golf course if we talk about real estate LOL Hey! Isn't that just the name of the game!  :)






Here's a little sample of the kind of fun, and exciting times that we have on Friday at this beautiful course.

NTBG’s 10th Annual Christmas in the Garden Craft Fair

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Po‘ipū, Kaua‘i (November 20, 2013) — No heavy winter coats or jostling through crowded department stores here! Only on the Garden Isle does Christmas shopping mean a “slippah-footed” stroll through a tropical garden. Lucky you live Kaua‘i where you can start the holiday season with a fun and relaxing day at the National Tropical Botanical Garden’s Christmas in the Garden holiday craft fair on Sunday, December 1 from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Located on the sprawling grounds of NTBG’s Southshore Visitors Center in Po‘ipū, across from Spouting Horn, this ever-popular craft fair is known for its beautiful garden setting and wide selection of locally made and imported gifts.

This 10th annual Christmas in the Garden brings together about 40 of the island’s most exciting crafters, artists, vendors, performers, and casual dining options. Shop for Kaua‘i Made original products from Aunty Lilikoi, Salty Wahine, Shinil Candle & Soap, Hawaiian Organic Noni, Nui Fashions, and many others. In addition to clothing, jewelry, art, handmade quilts, and countless other crafts, Christmas in the Garden will be selling live plants and fresh tropical flowers.

Spread out across the shady meadow of the Southshore Visitors center will be keiki fun stations where children can enjoy arts and crafts, games, puppet shows, and a workshop by local artist Patrick Ching. As you “browse, graze, and shop” in the shade of monkey pod trees, take in the entertainment: Ka Lei Mokihana O Leina‘ala Pavao-Jardin hula (10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.), Kamaka Fernandez’s contemporary Hawaiian music (11:45 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.), and Renee Janton with her Harp ‘Ohana (1:15 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.). From 3 p.m. – 3:45 p.m., the Sunshine Express, Kalāheo’s keiki Christmas choir, will be performing.

As you wander through the garden taking in the sunshine and an ocean view, pause for lunch from Yanagi Sushi, the Kaua‘i Food Truck, and enjoy snacks and drinks from Kaua‘i Coffee and other vendors. NTBG also asks that everyone bring at least one non-perishable or canned food item as a donation for the Hawai‘i Food Bank.

For more information on Christmas in the Garden, call (808) 742-2433.

Poipu Beach Estates update as of March 31, 2012

 

 

 

 

Here's an update of what's happening at Poipu Beach Estates.  Approximately 11 lots show evidence of completed or in progress homes.

Poipu property sold for $13,000,000 and a BIG mushroom

Top news of the day for Kauai real estate was the sale of 21.45 acres of vacant, resort designated, Poipu land. The "Royal Palms" property, located in the heart of Poipu, was purchased from Kiahuna Fund LLC/etal for $13,000,000 this morning. The new buyers were represented by Yamanake Enterprises Inc. realtors from Hilo, Hawaii. The "Royal Palms" property was one of approximately a dozen Poipu projects that had high hopes of profitting from the Kauai resort market. Per various "Royal Palms" press releases back in 2006 and 2007, the developers intended to build 164 units of 1,2,3 bedroom condos and intended to sell them for $600,000 to $1,300,000 a unit. However, that was not to be, and the property was left undeveloped since 2007. The property is located mauka of the Poipu Shopping Village center and is located next to the Kiahuna Golf Course. So what does this say about the Poipu market? Curious minds want to know :)

On the lighter side of life in Poipu....how's this BIG mushroom found growing on the Kihuna Golf Course?

Things to do on Kauai

Koloa Landing Resort, Putting Contest 3/28/12

 
On the far left, Roy took home 1st prize ($25 gift certificate for the Market Place).  David and his son, Jason split second (Arnold Palmer ice tea).  In the final "Closest to the Pin" special, David edged out the competition and claimed the "Hele on to Kauai" Island Favorites CD recorded by Tim Mira.  We didn't have a prize for Staci's "Highest Score"  :) ,  but we're working on it! 

It was another perfect sunny afternoon in Poipu for fun and fellowship.  I can't wait to see who's coming out next week!  And remember, tie or beat my 3 under score and you'll be playing with me as my guest at Kiahuna Golf Course!      Aloha, Tim

Eagle the 11th hole for a free night at Koloa Landing!

Koloa Landing at Poipu Beach has offered a challenge to all golfers participating in the Kiahuna Golf Course's  "Friday Skins Game" to win a free night's stay at their resort. 
The driveable par four becomes a test of accuracy and power as the dogleg left will tempt you to go straight for the pin, but beware of the 270 yard carry over one of the few archealogical sites amongst the course!  Once on the green, make the putt and you have your one night stay.

The Friday Skins Game starts at 12:30pm each week, offering great prices for kamaaina and visitors alike.  Closest to the pin prizes will score you a free round at the course.  Call the proshop at 808-742-9595 for more details about the game.  See you on Friday!
