Gifu Golf Round

Aug

On Sunday I played golf with some friends. It`s the first time I`ve ever played a round of golf in Japan.

The course was very different from the courses I`ve played on in Australia, which are quite flat. Like many Japanese courses, this course is in the hills, so it`s quite uneven, with forest & valleys all around. In fact, on a couple of holes, there was a forested valley instead of a fairway - I was nervous about teeing off on those ones!

It was very hot, but I enjoyed myself, & my score was okay. I managed to score `par` on a couple of holes, so I was pretty satisfied. Also, I didn`t lose many balls, & I didn`t get any blisters [mizubukure]- great!

How great!

I'll play golf next Saturday on my home course"Shido CC" in Kagawa Pre.
It'll be the first time in a month.

It'll be sunny and hot.
I'll be tired and sunburned.

Oh - do you like golf? Are you a good player? Yes, it`s very hot now, so make sure you take a lot of water with you.

You play golf, don't you? I've never played golf, only the putter golf a few times. Have you played it? It is fun.
Then, you didin't lose many balls, that is very lucky of you!!
When will you play golf the next time?

I played putter golf (`putt-putt golf` in Australia) a long time ago, but not recently. 

Maybe we will play golf again in autumn, when the weather is cooler. Now it`s too hot to play golf!
