Publisher's Note
The story tells of the construction of what is now the Hawaii Country Club. Most of it took place prior to 1959 when Hawaii became a state, & jet aircraft began to bring countless numbers of tourists to Hawaii. Army Captain Uldrick arrived in Honolulu in the early 1950's supposedly assigned to the Army Security Agency. Through an accident-of-assignment he found himself managing three army golf courses. An altercation (& a bet) with a group of kama'ainas (locals) over their starting times, triggered a search for property to 'build their own damn golf course'. After finding the property in a valley of monkey pod trees, he decided, over his wife's objection, to resign his commission & build the golf course himself. This was the first new course in Hawaii after World War II. It tells of a stubborn Dutchman who refused to quit when an overnight cloudburst washed the first nine holes of his new course into Pearl Harbor. The money was gone, he had no income & common sense told him to quit. He kept on. It took five years to complete the eighteen holes, a clubhouse & a golf pro-shop.
