"Helping kids learn about the history and learn basic game principles means a lot to me. If I can inspire just one out of a hundred Keikis to pick up the club and enjoy the game for life then I've done my job" -Oliver Oliquiano The Academy would also like to recognize newly appointed Head Golf Professional and Director of Instruction Leon Harris. A long time resident of the islands and tenured golfer he's found a new love for the game.
