18-hole Golf _______ typically held the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month
- It's fun and social, as handicaps are unimportant, and the groups who tee off in the morning come together for lunch afterwards. Members play the second and fourth Mondays of each month, excluding holidays. During the year, golfers may play on as many as 9 different courses, including Ewa Beach, Pearl Country Club, Hawaii Prince, Royal Hawaiian and Turtle Bay. We negotiate special rates when possible.
- A special note to Snowbirds and those who travel frequently - this is a no-commitment activity. You can play as often or as little as your schedule permits. Every skill level is represented. Because of the different course setups, men play with men, and women play with women. Nominal dues cover handicap and tracking, membership in state golf associations, and contribution towards "Most Improved Player" awards.
- Fresh air, exercise, fun and food. Come join a great group of people!
- To arrange to play, email us at least a week in advance so we can obtain confirmation from the golf course.
Mah Jongg ________ typically held every Tuesday
- The focus is on fun and camaraderie with a maximum of laughs and a minimum of fuss. Mah Jongg is easy and addicting but it is also a healthy mental practice to acquire. All levels welcome.
- Mah Jongg is a Chinese game, usually played by four people at a table, with 136 or 144 rectangular pieces called "tiles". As in card games such as gin rummy, the object is to collect winning sets of these tiles. A winning set is designated on an official Mah Jongg card. There is an American and a Chinese set of rules; the Club is playing American Mah Jongg.
