Once more with feeling. And yet another chance to see Tiger Woods doing his thing.

Last November, many thought it was the last time that the PGA Grand Slam of Golf would be played at the Po'ipu Bay Golf Course on Kaua'i, as Tiger ran off with a seven-stroke victory.

Even the staff at the Grand Hyatt Kaua'i Resort & Spa thought it was pau hana time for the event featuring the winners of golf's major championships.

But Woods and the PGA Grand Slam are back on Nov. 21 and 22 and that's all that matters.

For the record, Woods, who won the PGA Championship and the British Open, will be joined in this year's foursome by Masters champion Phil Mickelson, U.S. Open winner Geoff Ogilvy and alternate Jim Furyk, who got in because Woods won two of this year's majors.

It's quite a select group, although it's doubtful the other three can stop Woods from winning his seventh title in eight tries at Po'ipu Bay, Tiger's personal stomping grounds.

Mickelson shot a record 59 to win in 2004 and Furyk won the year before. But Tiger wasn't around those years, undergoing an 0 for 8 in the majors.

Ogilvy? Well, he's a malihini at Po'ipu Bay and even Woods couldn't win his first time there in 1997, finishing runner-up to Ernie Els, who's the first alternate if Furyk can't make it.

Anyway, it's a great opportunity to see Tiger and the PGA Grand Slam again. And a time to be grateful because it'll be during Thanksgiving week.

For awhile, we all thought it was a lost opportunity.

The PGA of America, which sponsors the Grand Slam, had been in talks with Las Vegas convention officials about the possibility of moving the $1 million, two-day event to Nevada as early as this year.

Nothing was settled, so Po'ipu Bay gets to host the PGA Grand Slam for the 13th straight year.

Nobody's saying a thing for the record, but it appears that the PGA Grand Slam will be on Kaua'i at least through 2007.

According to Kevin Iole, golf writer for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, as of two months ago, only six or seven holes had been completed at the Jack Nicklaus Coyote Springs golf course, proposed new home of the PGA Grand Slam.

Iole doesn't see it happening sooner than 2008, pointing out that even the infrastructure, such as roads, are not in place yet for the development some 50 miles north of downtown Las Vegas.

So Julius Mason, PGA of America's director of communications and media relations, was correct in saying at the time that any talk about the PGA Grand Slam moving to Nevada was "not accurate information."

It was premature only in that the site wasn't ready. Not that the Vegas money wasn't there. The PGA of America could use the money. It clearly needs to look into raising the purse for the event.

The $1 million prize, $400,000 going to the winner, has been the same going rate since the PGA Grand Slam began its major-champions-only format in 1991 at the Kaua'i Lagoons Resort.

So book your travel arrangements early, and take in the 2006 PGA Grand Slam for a chance to see Tiger. And Phil. Furyk and Ogilvy, two guys who haven't quite achieved first-name status, will be there, too.

KIM'S MOVE PAYS OFF

Last spring, Kimberly Kim's parents, Young Soo and Arlene, decided Kim should move from Hilo to the Mainland to get better opportunities to play junior golf at the highest level. And save on travel expenses, too.

So Kimberly and her mom moved, first to Temecula, Calif., and two months later to the Phoenix area in Arizona, where they are renting a three-bedroom house. Dad stays at home, growing orchids on two Big Island farms to keep the family solvent.

It wasn't a decision taken lightly.

"It worked out well. It is all worth it," said Soo Young Kim, whose older daughter, Christine, the 2005 girls' state high school champion, is a freshman at the University of Colorado.

It started out as a temporary move, according to the father. "But Kimberly is more comfortable living in Arizona. Less traveling," he said.

Kimberly had a remarkable summer of golf, winning the U.S. Women's Amateur, finishing runner-up in the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links and making the cut as the youngest player in this year's U.S. Women's Open, at age 14.

She was rewarded even more this week, being named to the U.S. team, along with Duke sophomores Amanda Blumenherst and Jennie Lee, for the Women's World Amateur Team Championship Oct. 18 to 21 in South Africa.

Quite a birthday gift, too, for Kim, who turned 15 yesterday.
