Island Pacific Golf Academy, Kapolei

As a Pro Golf apprentice and a businessman, Oliver Oliquiano has long understood the personal and professional benefits of playing golf. Realizing that many people, however, don't pick up the sport until later in life, he set out to bring the game to kids, which led him to found Island Pacific Golf Academy in 2009.

At Pro Golf, coaches guide children through course clinics and after-school lessons. They also help with custom club fitting, ensuring that little players aren't deterred by ill-suited equipment, and they facilitate tournament play to give the game a competitive and engaging edge.
