Writer RIKO’s Diary 1 August.

The owner of a car maintenance shop gave me good info while I waited for done with my car oil to be changed. He told me the ‘Rakuten GORA’ booking app allows you to book a golf play nationwide. They also have a ‘one-person booking’ where strangers can play together. When I looked at the self-introductions of the members who had already made reservations at Hakuryu Lake Country Club in Mihara City, Hiroshima, I saw that they were all men with scores in the 90s. I sighed. As a newcomer to golf, playing with someone with a score of 90 is too much of a hurdle for me. But I feel empty playing a round by myself. I want a service day to play with beginners without hesitation.
