OULA was created in 2010 by Kali Lindner. A graduate of The University of Montana in Missoula. Kali became a certified yoga instructor in Missoula and then received her White Belt in the Nia Technique in Portland, Oregon. Not able to find what she was looking for in a fitness workout, she created it herself in MissOULA, Montana. Turning to her background in ballet, jazz, and modern dance, and her intense love of music, Kali combined the movement of dance, the intensity of aerobic workouts, and the philosophies of yoga and Nia to create OULA – Dancemania for the Soul. OULA is for every age, gender, and fitness level.

Golf Pierce County in Western Washington is your home for public golf. Our golf courses offer a variety of settings for every taste and style. From tree-lined courses to open green spaces and smooth rolling greens overlooking the Puget Sound, our golf courses are the most diverse in Washington. Whether seeking a quick round in the peaceful setting at our 9-hole course at Fort Steilacoom or wanting to tackle championship courses like Lake Spanaway, site of the Puget Sound Amateur since 1967 or Chambers Bay, host of the 2010 U.S. Amateur and 2015 U.S. Open, Pierce County has something for every skill and challenge level.
Chambers Bay Golf Course 6320 Grandview Drive West, University Place, WA 98467 (253) 460-4653 • www.chambersbaygolf.com General Manager: Matt Allen Director of Golf: Nicholas Pike Golf Professional: Brent Zepp Discover pure links golf while immersing yourself in panoramic views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains. As the site of the 2010 U.S. Amateur and the 2015 U.S. Open, Chambers Bay was designed to challenge the greatest players in the world. Yet it’s a course that anyone can play. Inspired by the open landscape and spectacular location, renowned architect Robert Trent Jones II remained true to links tradition by creating a unique and authentic waterfront course which provides a premium public golf experience. As the first course in the Pacific Northwest to earn the Audubon Society’s coveted International Silver Signature Sanctuary designation, Chambers Bay is creating a new tradition of managing and protecting water quality and wildlife habitat for the betterment of the environment and the future of the game. Chambers Bay is a championship course that anyone can play. With towering sand dunes, massive fairways and contoured greens, it provides a true connection to the birthplace of the game. A par 72, walking-only course, Chambers Bay stretches from 5,100 to 7,585 yards on fescue turf from tee to green. Experienced, knowledgeable caddies are available to carry your bag and lower your score with their advice. A practice facility offers players the chance to improve their skills at the driving range and short game area. A staff of PGA Professionals is available for instruction and private lessons.
