August 26, 2018 “3rd Sapporo Beer Cup and 4th Aikyukai Cup” held
The typhoon had passed and we didn't have to worry about rain for the first time in a while, with 75 participants.
We held the ``3rd Sapporo Beer Cup and 4th Aikyukai Cup.''
Due to yesterday's rain, the course was soft and the greens had less compaction.
It looks like all the participants were having fun.
Before announcing the results, this time we will talk about compaction.

↑This is a soil hardness meter
There is a spring inside the tube, and it is like a spring measuring device.
There is a thick needle at the end

Insert it into the green side like this and read the numbers on the white memory
Today's green at Orica is 9kg/cm2, which is soft due to the rain.
Generally 9-11kg/cm2, tournament course is set at 11-14kg/cm2
Due to differences in the measuring machine and the difference between kilograms and pounds, the values are not consistent.
Please refer to the approach etc.
Sorry for the long digression again.
We will announce the results
