(In the old days, their buoyant wood made the finest canes and surf-boards, surfing once being the sport of the kings.) From the gently rolling green highlands of the course, five neighboring Hawaiian islands can be seen, including controversial Kahoolawe (the one the Navy uses for bombing practice), and Molokini.the skin diver's paradise. On a clear day you even can see Oahu. About those walls: Look closely and note the total absence of mortar. They were painstakingly built by hand. Many hands.

Long ago. Whatever the walls' true origin, golf course architect Jack Snyder was surprised and delighted to find them. They've been retained along holes 5 through 10, and 13 through 18. Orange Course players also will find "heiaus" (remains of old Hawaiian temples) along the fourth and fifth fairways, both of which look down to the sea. Some golfers may find Snyder's thinking a bit diabolical, since he's left a natural rock garden on the 18th green.

"It was just too good to pass up," he (the holder of a 10 handicap) says, smiling. Golf widowswidowers will find Wailea a happy haven. Besides golf, there are five beaches, 11 tennis courts, a semi-outdoor shopping center, two villages of garden condominiums and two deluxe hotels, the lnter-Contincntal Maui and the Wailea Beach.

Of all Hawaii's 50 golf courses, the Orange Course here at the carefully blooming area of Wailea on Maui has to be among the most challenging. For such a new course (it's only lH years old) it's incredible how mature it looks.

The answer's easy; it was born that way. This is Hawaiian desert country. By the Pacific, yes, but on the dry, sunny southwest coast of East Maui; on the wind-protected slopes of the long-dormant volcano Haleakala.

So much so that on occasion she seeks the counsel of a psychologist before replying. A youngster from Illinois writes: "Dear Juliet, I would like to ask you if you think it is right for a girl of 14 to get married to a guy 16" (the precise ages of Romeo and Juliet when they were wed). Keenly aware of the pitfalls of young romance, Paola replied: "I suggest that yuu wait." Another love-struck letter writer asked: "What do you think about a 14-year-old girl liking a 30-year-old guy?" Verona's 20th-century Juliet replied: "Find someone your own age." Meanwhile, the saga of Romeo and Juliet plays each summer in Verona. An opera to end all opera is presented in a dramatic setting at the Roman Arena inside Piazza Bra with its peripheral sidewalk cafes. Verona has been a city for 2,000 years.

Its ancient streets lead in and out of Piazza Erbe and Piazza Dei Signori where the statue of Dante pre Homelo The Phoenix Gazette By JERRY HULSE Los Angeles Times VERONA, Italy Poor Romeo he gets second billing in his own hometown. Yes, the same tragic figure from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Only here it's the other way around. The doomed lovers are billed as Juliet and Romeo. It occurs whenever the drama is presented in Verona.

It's always but always Juliet and Romeo. The story of history's famous lovers draws thousands of visitors each year. The tourism people are familiar with the fetishes of travelers. They know that for every visitor who seeks out Verona's Roman Arena or the statue of Dante or its ancient streets and proud little piazzas, dozens surface to trace the lives of Romeo and Juliet (we're giving Romeo back his old lead spot, even though Verona refuses to do so). Verona is influenced by the impressive crowds who seek out Juliet's home.

The faithful arrive on foot, by moped and by bus. The procession is endless. Inevitably, husbands follow in the footsteps of Rome while wives ascend the' stairs to the famed balcony. Just as Juliet did. We'll deliver The Gazette to your home six days a week.

Visitors seek shelter at several first-rate hotels. Reservations are usually necessary at the Juliet and Romeo on Vicolo Tre Marchetti, which is just off Piazza Bra and convenient to the Roman Arena. Eight of its 29 rooms come with balconies designed after Juliet's. Best views are on the third and fourth floors. Rates for a single are $18 in the low season and $22 in the high season.

Doubles are $31 and $36. At the end of the block, Ristorante Arena offers charm and inexpensive meals. Candles are stuck in wine bot NOW YOU CAN SPUT WITH THE SOL COAST SPLIT. The Phoenix Gazette We've sot good news for you. Yes, you are seeing right.

In the courtyard below the marble balcony, the Lions Club has erected a bronze statue of Juliet. This after a lively fund-raising campaign held in the name of love. Oyer at Romeo's home on Via Arche Scaligere it's something else.

Th-crowds are thin. There is very little to remind them that here is where Romeo lived. Only the words, "Where is Romeo?" It's a good question. Nobody seems to know. Juliet's tomb is carefully maintained in a tree-shaded churchyard near the chapel where she and Romeo exchanged vows.

And while it has been nearly 700 years since the lovers took their lives, the legend lives on in an avalanche of mail all of it addressed to "Juliet Capulet." It comes from other young lovers who seek the wise counsel of Shakespeare's ill-starred heroine. In the beginning the task of replying to letter writers was assumed by the, -caretaker of the Church of San Francesco. Now, the burden has been passed on to a peach of a green-eyed brunette with an upturned nose, 23-year-old Paola Sella, an employee of the town council.

You can get by nicely here for $5. At the new 45-room Hotel Victoria, rates are $30 for a single and $50 if you bring along your Juliet. Guests gather in a cozy, sunken lounge with leather sofas and a beam ceiling. In the morning they are awakened by the ringing of church bells. For excellence, though, Hotel Due Torre gets first bid.

It is the only deluxe hotel in the historical center of Verona. It stands up to most others in Italy. For more than 1,000 years a hotel or an inn has occupied this spot. Without question, the Due Torre is one of Europe's finest little hotels. Such atmosphere doesn't come cheap.

You'll pay $50 for a single and $70 for a double. The continental breakfast is extra and it doesn't come cheap either. The charge is five bucks. But if your Juliet is pleased, what does it matter?
