Last golf round of 2010






I was quite excited with the last round of this year.

Isamu's acquaintance, Fukui-san, invited us to play together at Gotemba West, which is one of the best golf courses in Japan.
Lucky!!! (●^o^●)
I've never played there, so I was really really excited ♪♪♪

Overlooking Mt.Fuji(富士山)the view was fabulous!!!

Although it was quite cold, we were blessed with a sunny weather ☀
The snow❄covered
Fuji-san
was strikingly beautiful against bright blue sky, surrounded by a neat row of old tall trees, gorgeous!!!

We departed at 6am. (yawn!)
It took about 1&half hour drive from Tokyo. We beat the traffic and arrived quite early, so we had plenty of time for breakfast and a short practice before the round.

The am round (OUT) was tough! My body didn't move the way I wanted. My putt sucked. All the good shots I thought I've mastered during my golf lessons just disappeared.
I finished the first half with a horrible score of 72!!!

After lunch things improved a little. Some of my putts did make way to the holes, earning me 2 PARs and a score of 59 for the pm round (IN).

A total score of 131 ... (sigh) ... still a looooong way to go ...
well, they say "Practice makes better" ...
I vow to make it to 100 by end of 2011. Practice, practice, practice!!!
