Golf in Hawaii can be tricky if you are not used to play under strong winds! One famous old quote is a great help "when it's breezy swing easy" translation take more club and don't try to kill it, your ball will end up going to high and your ball will go nowhere. Playing downwind, is a treat especially when crushing a drive 350 down the middle but hitting into the greens is a lot more difficult. Try a put the ball slightly back in your stance and don't try to hit it too hard.
