Hawaii’s 2014 golf schedule includes a few tweaks and additions, and one glaring loss.

After 35 years, the Hawaii Pearl Open will not be back next month. Pearl Country Club owners announced in April they would be ending the event, predominantly because of finances. Over the years, the $80,000 tournament drew the state’s most diverse field, with half the players coming from Asia.

Hawaii Golf Hall of Famers David Ishii and Greg Meyer, both Pearl employees, combined to win 10 titles.

Tadd Fujikawa, then 16, captured the 2007 championship weeks after shocking the golf world at the Sony Open. Michelle Wie made Pearl her first start in a "men’s" event at age 12, and barely lost out on low amateur honors soon after.

"To me, it’s a big loss, a really big loss," says Kevin Hayashi, an eight-time Aloha Section PGA Player of the Year and two-time Pearl champ. "It’s one of our majors, it’s been there a while. It’s the one a lot of people wanted to win. That, the Mid-Pac Open and State Open are the three biggest open events we have."

Hayashi plays a major role in one of this year’s schedule tweaks. He started the Hilo Invitational while he was at Hilo Muni, but last February’s 16th annual edition was rained out. This year’s will be Aug. 1-3, hopefully to avoid some of that Hilo rain and definitely to fit better into Hayashi’s schedule as a Nanea teaching pro.

University of Hawaii’s John A. Burns Intercollegiate is moving to Kauai next month. It will be played at Wailua, oceanside site of three USGA national public links championships.

The move to a muni has a few college coaches worried. UH’s Ronn Miyashiro is not one of them.

"The course is in immaculate shape," Miyashiro says. "Funny thing is that I know a lot of these teams are questioning the move to this (county-run) course on Kauai.Little do they know.They will be in for a surprise."
