[Dodger]

I had a Honma persimmon many moons ago,what a bit of craftsmanship.

 

[MashieNiblick]

Ahhhh, persimmon. I'm gonna need a cold shower at this rate

Yep, about 20 times in the last 15 years. I lived there for 2 years too, and I will be back over there in April next year. Where abouts are you going?

The exchange rate is pretty dire at the moment, worse than when I was there in January, which was already poor. It will make your trip quite expensive, and golf gear will be very expensive.

tokyo, miyazaki, fukouka....touring the in-laws basically


have already floated the idea of playing a round out there, but is met with what can only be described as stony silence

If dad in-law doesn't play, then it might be a tad difficult. It depends on how easy it is to get to a course, whether clubs are available etc. I've only played there once in all the time I've spent there, and that was on my first trip back in 95. An amazing course in the hills outside Kyoto, the first time I ever experienced travelators on a golf course, over chasms between green and tee.........
