⛳️ Golf Diary: A New Day Begins with Club Organizing!【Sunday, October 12, 2025】

 

Good morning! How are you spending your Sunday weekend?

Unfortunately, here in Kikugawa, it's a gloomy, overcast sky today. The weather forecast says there's a 40% chance of rain, and indeed, thick clouds cover the view outside my window.

Despite the weather, I'm starting the day with an exciting task! Yes, I'm beginning the process of organizing the golf clubs that just arrived the other day ✨.

On this blog, I introduce new golf items every day. If there’s a club or a piece of gear that catches your eye, or if you want to know more about it, please feel free to send me a message!

Player and Gear Analysis

• News on professional golfers' club setups was also distributed. For instance, the shaft choice of professional Hinako Shibuno (driver is the Speeder NX Black 50SR for better draw, and the wedges use the carbon MCI 90R) was highlighted on October 10.

Market Trends

• Sales rankings for wedges indicate that "Japanese wedges" are performing well, with four models from Japanese manufacturers entering the top 10 (as of October 11).

During this period, a wide range of news was reported, including new product releases, professional gear information, and new initiatives concerning practice environments.

☆I was unable to find specific information on major Philippine golf events actually in progress on Saturday, October 11, 2025. However, I confirmed the following key tournaments scheduled for October 2025 in the Philippines, which suggests that October 11th would be a preparation period:

• The International Series Philippines

• Dates: October 23 - October 26, 2025

• Venue: Sta. Elena Golf Club (near Manila)

• Prize Fund: $2,000,000

• This is a major event on the Asian Tour schedule.

• Philippine Golf Tour (PGT) / Ladies Philippine Golf Tour (LPGT) Related Tournaments

• Several domestic tour events are scheduled for later in October:

• 2025 ICTSI DEL MONTE CHAMPIONSHIP

• Dates: October 14 - October 17 (PGT) / October 14 - October 16 (LPGT)

• Venue: Del Monte Golf Club

• 2025 ICTSI APO GOLF CLASSIC

• Dates: October 21 - October 24 (PGT) / October 21 - October 23 (LPGT)

• Venue: Apo Golf and Country Club

Therefore, as of October 11th, it is likely that major international or domestic tour competitions are not in session but are in the immediate run-up to these scheduled events. For the most current and detailed local tournament information, please check the official websites of the National Golf Association of the Philippines (NGAP) and the respective tours.

☆The third round of the PGA TOUR's "Baycurrent Classic Presented by LEXUS" was held on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at Yokohama Country Club in Kanagawa, Japan.

The main highlights and results are as follows:

Tied for the Lead: Xander Schauffele (USA) shot a 67, improving his score by four strokes to tie for the lead at 12-under par with Max Greyserman (USA). The two players hold a three-stroke advantage heading into the final round.

Performance of Japanese Players: Ren Yonezawa tied for the best score of the day with a 65, catapulting him into a tie for 10th place at 7-under par. Takumi Kanaya finished at 5-under par, tied for 18th place. Hideki Matsuyama shot a 69 and is tied for 22nd place at 4-under par, alongside Kazuki Higa.

Hideki Matsuyama's Situation: Matsuyama improved his score on the front nine but suffered a costly triple bogey on the par-4 14th hole on the back nine, preventing him from moving up the leaderboard. As a result, he will start the final round eight strokes behind the leaders.

Saturday, October 11, 2025, appears to have been the day when the third round of the "Buick LPGA Shanghai," an LPGA Tour event, was held.
