Entertainers host a benefit for
Loyal Garner, who has cancer.
Garner, often referred to as Hawaii's "Lady of Love," inspired the tournament at the Olomana Golf Links, which SOS members Tony Ruivivar and Bert Sagum call a "labor of love" dedicated to a fellow performer who is popular within the local music industry as well as with the public.
The tournament is a full scramble, with three-person teams. Maximum handicaps are 36 for women and 30 for men.
The cost to participate is $100 per person.
Check-in time will be 10:30 a.m. The deadline for registration is June 21.
For information, call Outrigger Entertainment at 926-5609.
Opening tomorrow:
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2
Rated PG-13
Tom Cruise returns as agent Ethan Hunt in this story filmed with diabolical bioterrorists, high-tech gadgets, high-speed kick-boxing, an elegant female thief, a prickly passionate triangle and a whiff of melancholy romance. An Australian pharmaceutical firm has developed a horrendously virulent virus called Chimera which can kill millions in short order. Chimera falls into the hands of terrorists and Hunt is told to search for the terrorists and recover the virus. He is assigned a collaborator, a beautiful jewel thief named Nyah Hall (Thandie Newton). His logistical chief will be Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames)
Opening Friday:
SHANGHAI NOON
Rated PG-13
Jackie Chan plays Chon Wang, a palace guard in China's Forbidden City who comes to America in the late 1800s to rescue a kidnapped princess (Lucy Liu). Chon hooks up with a new-age, image-conscious train robber, Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson), who's more adept at shooting off his mouth than his pearl-handled pistols. Roy also is more interested in the chest of gold coins sent as ransom than in helping to free the princess.
