Repetition is a goal in golf, if it doesn’t involve shanks and yips.

Taylor John McGerity, Mariel Galdiano, John Oda, Jared Sawada, TJ Kua and Kirk Nelson — all born within about a 40-year span — repeated as well as anyone in Hawaii golf in 2013.

Kua’s year was jump-started in April when he opened the 55th Mid-Pacific Open with a course-record 62. He went on to beat PGA Tour player Dean Wilson by four — and everyone else by at least 12. Kua won four more times in his first full year as a professional.

McGerity aged his way into the 11-12 year-old division of the Hawaii State Junior Golf Association in 2013, and won three Junior Tour Series events the first four months. The sixth-grader three-peated at the State Junior Championships in June and won at the Michelle Wie Tournament of Champions last month.

On the other side of the age spectrum, Nelson qualified for the U.S. Senior Open and won the Aloha Section PGA’s Stroke Play and Senior Stroke Play titles before turning 54 in December. He celebrated by playing in his second Sony Open in Hawaii earlier this month.

Galdiano, a Punahou sophomore, and Oda, a Moanalua senior, are still amateurs, and Jared Sawada was until leaving this week to try to qualify for the Asian Tour. Sawada won four tournaments in 2013, including the Manoa Cup.

Galdiano captured the state high school championship as a freshman, then spent her summer break playing in her second U.S. Women’s Open and winning the 15-17 age division at the Callaway Junior World Golf Championships.

Oda defended his Hawaii State Amateur Stroke Play title by shattering the scoring record of a tournament that started in 1928. The 2012 state high school champion — and 2013 runner-up — opened with a 63 and ended at 19-under 265 to break the record by six shots.

Oda, heading to UNLV in the fall, also won HSJGA state and Aloha Section PGA Jr. championships, placing eighth nationally. He also received the Dr. Richard Ho Spirit of the Game Award.
