After the Summer break, 29 members of the AsIsKai golf association met at Apremont for the 198^th round. As usual, the golf course was in excellent condition and the weather was perfect to enjoy a good golf game.

It was my first competition with AsIsKai in 2021 as I was not able to join since May. Luckily my game level allows me to win today the 198^th round with a 63 Net score. I thank my today partners, Mrs Satoka Tonegawa and Mr Junichi Hiratsuka. It was a pleasure to play this game with them.

As we reasonably enjoy competition and challenge ourselves, I’m very satisfied and proud of this result as there are very good players in AsIsKai. Nevertheless, meeting, playing, and discussing with other members is one of the pleasures of being a group member. Therefore, the after-game lunch with its delicious traditional curry and the prize ceremony are, as important as the golf itself!

My new handicap will not ease a future victory, but I’ll be there to do my best during the next rounds and continue to support the good relations and exchanges between Japan and France.

The 199^th round is scheduled the 19^th of September; I hope we will meet there again.
