High winds in Maui have prevented play from starting at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.
(John Bush/PGA TOUR)

With play still not under way at Kapalua, players have had plenty of time to share their thoughts (and images) from the season-opener. Here's a sampling of some of the best.

30 players just want to play some golf. 30-50MPH winds stopping us from Starting. Crazy. Such a shame.

With all these delays it gives me more time to focus on pre round warm up. twitter.com/kylestanleygol…

I say let us play golf in the wind, better for tv. Golf balls blowing around on the greens will get the viewers & ratings for tv! #urwelcome

I feel sorry for Hyundai great tournament great course & all we want to do is play some golf. But 50MPH gusts it isn't possible.

I'm not sure that's breaking news. It's blowing 40!! twitter.com/Keegan_Bradley…

40 mins to the first tee shot being struck & nobody has moved to the range yet. Players instinct. Not looking good.

I wish I owned a wind farm on this Maui, I would have made a fortune the last couple of days. 45 mins to tee off nobody moving anywhere.
