This week, I played in the Walmart tournament!
There was a Walmart store nearby, so I went shopping!
American supermarkets have many items that you can’t find in Japan, so it’s always fun to explore. 🛍️
This week, I went to a baseball game at Tokyo Dome with Saki! ⚾️
It was really exciting to see a walk-off home run at the end! 😄
After the game, we were able to go down onto the field and took a photo at the winner’s podium!
It was a fun experience with a different atmosphere from golf. ✨
This week, I had a tournament in Japan!
It was great to see many players I hadn’t met in a while—it was really enjoyable!
This photo was taken when I went to a sushi restaurant. 🍣
I’d love to go again!
This week, I had a tournament in Boston!
The event’s vehicle was a large truck 🚙 that could carry a lot of luggage!
This week was the final major of the year, the AIG Women's Open!
The strong winds made it challenging, but I gained valuable experience over the four days.
This photo was taken at the tee box of the 1st hole. 📷
I will do my best again next year!
