A huge payout by Japan standards (about $291K for the winner at today's conversion rate) will draw all the top players, plus Shin Ae Ahn...starts Thursday. Bo Mee Lee is the defending champ...which may mean nothing, as she has only two top-tens in thirteen starts this year. Camellia Hills CC is across Tokyo Bay from Tokyo and Yokohama, so the turnout should be crazy. Grounds passes aren't cheap...an advance four ticket package for any days cost about $180. No TV in Korea.
Japan TV:
【Terrestrial wave】
June 25 (Sunday) 13: 55 ~ 15: 20 TV Asahi Broadcasting Network National Net (planned)
【BS Asahi】
June 22 (Thursday), 23 (Fri) 14: 00 ~ 16: 55
Saturday, June 24, 13: 00 ~ 15: 55
Sunday, June 25th 13: 00 ~ 13: 55, 15: 17 ~ 16: 20
【CS Sky A】
June 22 (Thursday), 23 (Fri) 8: 00-14: 00
Saturday, June 24, Sunday 25th (Sunday) 8: 00-13: 00
I probably have a streaming link that works for Sunday...not sure about the other days.

I'm not surprised Momoko is sticking with the Xhot....the XHot 2 series was a great model and I think the XR models are even better.
My friend has a XR 4W with a cut down PX 6.5 graphite driver shaft...and it's a HOT beast....I'm surprised I can hit a 6.5...but I'm not man enough to hit a 6.5 in steel.
Some of the newer PX graphite shafts can be fairly whippy.
Momoko might think the Steelhead is a bit of a shovel.

No TV in Korea. You MUST find us a working link Thurs - Sun for we JLPGA fanboys. Considering how much the fans in Japan LOVE the JLPGA...a week's pass should be $75 tops IMO. I did a Google of Camellia....I thought courses in Japan were scarce, therefore high green fees...on Google maps...seems like 30 courses within 25 kms of Camellia....kinda like Myrtle Beach. |

This is a good Instagram from Kenneth. He knows all the Japanese fanboys will be drooling over these three. The Japanese LOVE the Korean hotties that wear short skorts and knee highs. And all three have nicknames....Sexy Queen, Smile Candy and SKY....they just need The Hottest Woman on the Planet...the LOVELY HYP to round out the 4some....nuff said. LOVE the Rocket! Hopefully 15,000 follow this group each day. |

FYI, the JLPGA goes on a one-week haitus after this event. ********* From Tuesday night: Bo Mee Lee and Ha Neul Kim   Kotone Hori and Serena Aoki   More pix on the tournament FB page: www.facebook.com/earth.mondahmin.cup/************* Shiho Oyama, who turned 40 last month, will return to action after being out almost two months...she has had stabbing back pains. Per JLPGA regs, "seeded" players are required to play at least 21 tournaments...she has played six so far. I don't know what "punishment" they have if she doesn't hit 21 this year.  ********** More Shin Ae Ahn on Tuesday:    ************ Rainy Wednesday pro-am: Sharon with Sky and Big Mama     Erina Hara and Chae Young Yoon   Sky Kim and Bo Mee Lee   Yuting Seki and Kaori Ohe   Akane Iijima and Mi Jeong Jeon   |

Forty year old, fifty time JLPGA winner Yuri Fudoh, still showing up on leaderboards.
Loved her long swing.
A lot of early Japanese pro golfers and regular players somewhat copied her swing.
She were the Se Ri of Japan.

Ha Neul Kim tees off now, but will notice a sea of red on the scoreboard from early starters, such as... ...Bo Mee Lee and Ai Suzuki...   ...and Yuri Fudoh and Shin Ae Ahn.   |
