Ouch… Makani is not in the Beach Restort, it’s up off the Mamalahoa highway, across the road from Puu Lani…

> Why not correct the error – no, the errors, plural – in the blog post after being pointed out, or remove it if it can’t be edited? Why let erroneous information persist?
Hualalai has a short course? Check that claim. Kukio and Mauna Lani have short courses.
The last sentence of the confused Makani / Waikoloa paragraph is also a duplication of the last sentence of the Hualalai paragraph.
Neither Waikoloa nor Makani have short courses either.
I realize it’s just a harmless blog post, but if you’re going to provide information, it should be accurate, don’t you think?
