47 Ronin Golf Tournament



Yesterday I played in the 6th Annual 47 Ronin Golf Tournament at Hawaii Kai Golf Course. The name of the golf tournament got its name from the 1703 historical account of the 47 Master less Samurai, or “Ronin,” of Edo, Japan. Originally each player played all 47 holes, but it has now turned into a tournament of a team of 3 to 4 players playing 47 holes total. We finished all 47 in 4 hours! My fellow "Ronins" were Cory, Baron and Jay. It was a lot of fun and I made new friends. What I'll remember most is the "The Pink Lady," the view at the third hole, and golf carts that should have been bumper carts.
