WELCOME TO OUR CLUB LUNCHEON MEETING AT MULLIGANS
OPENING THE MEETING
President John led us in the
Pledge of Allegiance.
THOUGHT/INSPIRATION OF THE DAY
Kelly Trang shared this quote from Mother Teresa:
“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.”
And I’d like to add....kindness in your words, thoughts, and action. Of course few of us can do this 100% of the time but we can all try our best.
TODAY'S SPEAKER
Rick Castillo
PGA, Director of memberships at King Kamehameha Golf Club. Mr. Castillo educated our club about the history of the golf clubs design.
The King Kamehameha Golf Club’s design was conceived in 1949 by Frank Lloyd Wright as a home he named Crownfield. But the couple who commissioned the design never built the home. When Wright was approached in 1952 to design a home for the cliffs of Mexico’s Acapulco
Bay, he began with the Crownfieldplans, and added a covered terrace and lower level. Unfortunately, the plans were shelved once again.
Five years later, Marilyn Monroe and husband, Arthur Miller, commissioned Wright to design a country estate. Once again, Wright modified the Crownfieldplan,
but costs prohibited the construction and Monroe and Miller separated the next year. Frank Lloyd Wright passed away in 1959.
In 1988, the original owners (Waikapu Country Club closed in 1999) visited Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona, with the hope of finding a Frank Lloyd Wright design for their new clubhouse.
The team there searched the archives for a layout with a more residential feel, and Crownfield came alive again. The design was increased in size and modified to fit the site. Despite an area of 74,778 square feet, an effort was made to keep the proportions true to Wright’s original concept. Wright referred to the leaded glass windows he created as “light screens,” and most of the etched sand art glass in the building were based on Wright’s original designs.
