PEARL CITY — Over 20 golfers from all divisions gathered on Oahu on September 1-2, 2018 for a weekend full of camaraderie and good sportsmanship. This year, players competed as teams, but golfed with members from other divisions at Pearl Country Club, a union house as one of Oahu Division’s units.

This arrangement created a great opportunity for fellowship across islands. Members from Pepsi on Oahu got to know their brothers from Kauai’s St. Regis Princeville, and other combinations created six teams of four (see photos).
