Michelle Wie grew up and still lives on the island of Oahu. As she enters more and more tournaments both on the PGA and LPGA her place of residence may change. It did for PGA tour pro Dean Wilson who used to live in Kanehoe but now lives on the mainland. For those who live on the windward side of the island and play golf they’ll probably pull out a story of how they saw Wie on the Links.
Michelle Wie grew up on the windward side of the island and grew up playing golf at Olomana Golf Course. A great little course with beautiful views of the Ko’olau mountain range. The course is challenging, with long par fours and tough holes that play right into the wind coming off the pacific ocean.
Although I haven’t played the course when she’s been on it, it seems as though everyone I have played with on the course has seen her out. The tale goes that she’s usually out on one of the par 5’s with a bucket of balls just hitting away. Usually it’s number 4, a long dog leg left with trees right over the dog leg. Story goes she drives from the championship tees over the trees. Not sure if it’s true but makes for a good story.
If you’re ever on the island of Oahu I suggest going over the Pali and checking out the course. If you want to play go in the middle of the day on the weekday. If you go on the weekend you’ll be stuck behind twenty groups of six and it’ll take you more than 5 hours to finish.
