Played my first real game of jgolf yesterday with the fiancee's family. There's a local family golf course that has a whopping 6 holes, and you can either play them once or twice. Or more! So we played a 12-rounder yesterday, quite fun. All except one of the holes were around 100-yards, which works well for me since I'm still quite green at the sport. Didn't make any pars, but did manage to pull off a +1 on the 273 par 4 hole.
One particular piece of literature that caught my attention at the reception area was a pamphlet for golfer's insurance. In essence, they cover your charges of paying the people with in the rare case you would get a hole-in-one or an albatross (3 strokes under on a par 5, new term to me!). Anyway, I can only imagine how much profuse bowing goes down when this must happen in Japan.
I'm so terribly sorry! I just got a hole-in-one. Now I must pay you wads of cash for having shown you the ropes.
