Legazpi Golf Diary - Saturday, September 20, 2025

Good morning.

This morning, Legazpi saw an overcast sky. Mount Mayon, seen from Puro, Legazpi City, was shrouded in clouds. Dark rainclouds were spreading, and the weather forecast predicted thunderstorms.

Even on a day like this, somewhere in the world, the weather is perfect for golf. Have a great day, golfers!
