[Golf Diary] New Gear Arrivals! A Sunny Mood on a Cloudy Thursday! October 16, 2025 (Thursday)

 

Good morning!

The weather forecast here in Kikugawa is unfortunately calling for cloudy skies with a 70% chance of rain. However, looking outside, a pleasant blue sky is spreading, and that feels like a bonus! I'm just hoping this clear spell manages to last until the forecast time around noon (fingers crossed!). To those heading out for a round, please be sure to bring your rain gear!
