Niseko Golf – Check June 8 2010, 12:47am via studio343.jp

This week the warm weather has continued and I now have my first golf game of the season under my belt.

Today I took part in my neighborhood association friendly golf comp with 32 people held at Hanazono’s Tokyu Golf course.

I was paired with guys who all run pensions here in the Hirafu area. Stellar weather and even the bugs weren’t too bad. Most of the snow has gone down low but up high there is still a surprising amount.

My form was pretty patchy…

…but had fun anyways – scored a 91 and came 18th.

This pano was shot Oct last year at the Hilton golf course in Niseko village and I’m looking forward to doing some new summer golf pano’s this year.

I took all of the shots with a Canon S90 pocket camera. Great little camera and was nice to just chill out & play, not lug my DSLR and heavy lens around. Having a camera I can just put in my pocket but still be able to shoot RAW is awesome.

It is also quiet and doesn’t seem to put my fellow golfers off so badly compared to my Nikon D700 cranking out 8 shots a second.

The star of today was Morita san who took out the comp with a 69 ! YOSH
