Kellie Hines Talks About Life In Golf And Women On The Green In Hawaii

It was a great day out on the green in Kauai, not because it was a particularly good day to play golf. It was actually a soggy day as it rained and the clouds continued to lift off of the course on Kauai, Hawaii.

In November, she moved onto become head golf professional at Hokuala Ocean Course, formerly the Kauai Lagoons Golf Club – Kiele Course, at Timbers Resorts.

How many times has this happened to you: You’re going out snowmobiling and you realize you don’t have a thing to wear?

Okay, maybe it’s never happened to you. It’s never happened to me, either. But it could: over 1.4 million snowmobiles (“sleds,” to those in the know) are registered in this country, and the numbers are growing. Women are making up an increasing percentage of the total, and so every year, more and more women find themselves ready to hit the trails with almost literally nothing to wear.
