Meet the Aloha Section PGA’s 2014 Player of the Year! In this special Maui Golf Review video, 2014 Maui Open defending champion Garrett Okamura chats about his development as a player here on the Valley Isle. Garrett was a busy boy sitting with us for this pre-tournament interview, while simultaneously preparing the course for the event, which would commence later that day.
In this exclusive interview, Garrett describes his progression, from Maui’s junior golf program through high school, college, and his early professional career in Hawaii and on the satellite tour. Garrett talks about those who inspired him to play, and more. We wish him luck in future, and while he did fail to defend his 2013 title, we suspect he’ll be back.
Garrett’s interview was a part of a greater effort known as Da Game Show, which is a creative extension of the Maui Golf Review, Hawaii’s premiere golf publication since 1995. Hosted by Kapalua resident and golfer, Dave Ward, Da Game walks-the-talk in paradise with style and delivers candor and humor every step of the way. Dave is joined by an array of regular and guest co-stars with each episode. No matter what is happening in Hawaii golfdom, Da Game is a part of it; often and to such a degree that we can get into trouble for it! All of that adds to the excitement as each episode reveals some unheard-of-faux-pas or stunt that only Da Game can bring you. Be sure to make Da Game Show a part of your regular viewing game plan now!
