Â
Golden Oldies Softball is about the love of the game, the ability for fun on and off the diamonds and an enjoyment of travel to a great destination for friendly competition with like-minded fellow softballers. With that in mind the program that has been designed allows for everyone to enjoy, not only playing softball on excellent diamonds, but the opportunities to experience the ambience of Hawaii and to mix freely with players from all corners of the world.
Â
Arrival and Festival Opening:
Â
19th October - Following your transfer from the International airport to your chosen hotel (see the website for accommodation packages), you have the chance to freshen up before being taken to the Waikiki Shell Beer Garden for the official Opening party – 3 hours of entertainment and mingling with fellow players.
Â
The Games:
Â
20th-24th October - Games are to be played on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday culminating with finals day on Friday. Each team will get to play at each of the three venues over the course of the Festival.Â
On day one each team will play 2 games in their nominated category so we can ensure teams are evenly matched.
A full range of refreshments will be available at the venues for the duration of the days play.
On Finals day each team will play at least 2 games, the second of which is a “final†and determines the final placing for the Festival. All Finals are played at the Central Ohau Softball Complex so we can all enjoy the action together.
Â
The Activities:
Â
On the non-playing days there are a range of options for teams. There’s a mixture of sun, sea and relaxation for those that want to enjoy their own time or you can take one of the many tourist excursions on offer.
There are myriad of restaurants, shops, sights, sporting activities and world class surf beaches to take in.
Â
The Finale:
Â
Saturday 26th October sees the culmination of the Festival week with a day to relax and take in any sights or shopping you haven’t managed to get done and then in the evening we transfer you from your Hotel to Germaine’s Luau for the Grand Finale – the Golden Oldies prize-giving and closing function.
A substantial buffet meal, some great local entertainment and the presentation of the Golden Oldies Festival trophies, prizes and awards…the ultimate prize being bragging rights until everyone meets again.
Â
Heading home:
Â
All good things have to come to an end and so on Sunday 27th October you will be transferred to the Honolulu International Airport for flights back to where you have come from, or you may choose to extend your stay and enjoy the Islands longer…the choice is yours.
