About 15 minutes to tee off time as I walked back to the cart to drop off the clubs I took to the range. Problem. Couldn't remember the cart number, and as they were hire clubs, no idea what the bag looked like. Bit of wandering and peeking at carts for a few minutes, before heading to the gear hut with my tail between my legs to as for the cart number.
Eventually found the cart, and my 3 non-English speaking playing partners.
First tee, 0 degrees, ice still on the ground. Couple of groups behind us, starter, and my 3 golf mates.
Success, hit the middle of the fairway.
Parred the first. Parred the second.
2 greens on each hole, 1 for summer, 1 for winter. Astro turf winter greens were fast,
3rd hole, fairway.
Green in reg, easy game this Japanese golf.
Until I 4 putted for a double, and it all went downhill from there.
Very fun course, blind shots, lots of undulations
Impressive Par 3, for those of us in the west, similar to the 16th at Araluen. Hit the green and when got to it realized that the greens weren't astro turf, they were frozen. Bit of sun and they had started thawing out.
At the end of 9 with golf in Japan, it's the lunch break.
