Glen Oaks Golf and Country Club, Tokyo
On Day 3 in Tokyo we were booked to play at the Glen Oaks GC - which was located not far from the Narita Airport. It was another lovely course, rather hilly with narrow fairways with winds coming into play in many of the holes.
Pakdokter played with Eddie Siew and Danny and was lucky to have won a fair bit of 'yens' from Danny.

The RSGC Tour of Japan ended the next day. It was a very satisfying trip. We played in 3 new courses this trip on top of the 2 days at Biwako CC which is the annual interport game. We gave the Club 300 in Tokyo a miss this year.
Ryugasaki GC Tokyo - a High Tea and Prize Presentation
After the game the RSGC visitors were entertained to a high tea followed by speeches from the club Presidents to welcome the inauguration of the reciprocal relationship between these two clubs. Apart from prizes for those who played well, everyone received a memento from the host to help us remember this trip to Ryugasaki.

Ryugasaki GC Tokyo - the 2nd Nine
Lunch was served after finishing the 1st Nine. It was a delicious set meal with fresh sashimis and fried rice with miso soup and pickled appetisers.
The 2nd Nine is just as scenic as the 1st - is more undulating with a few ponds and lakes coming into play.
