Prep all-star golf
starts today

The state's top high school golfers -- representing five different leagues -- will compete in the first Hawaii All-Star Invitational tomorrow and Monday at the Olomana Golf Links.

Besides a 36-hole individual competition, the format calls for the leagues to compete against each other with the low three boys' scores and one girl's score used for the final total.

Each league -- the Oahu Interscholastic Federation, the Interscholastic League of Honolulu, the Kauai Interscholastic Federation, the Maui Interscholastic League and the Big Island Interscholastic Federation -- has six players competing from the various member high schools.
