2019年国際ＧＧ大会 報告

The 2019 Yurihama International Ground Golf Open was held May 24-25 at Yurihama’s dedicated ground golf course, Shiokaze no Oka Tomari (Tomari Sea Breeze Hill), with a special welcome reception held on May 23 at the Suimeiso Hotel, featuring a special performance by local hula group Lōkahi Ka Makana.

Over 300 participants from across 15 countries, including South Korea, Taiwan, Mongolia, China, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Poland, and the United States, gathered at the home of ground golf for this 2-day tournament. Blessed with warm sunny weather, participants completed 4 rounds of ground golf while both deepening friendships with other players and enjoying the beautiful view!

Ground golf is a fun and easy sport suited for fostering friendships between players, regardless of their culture and background, as well as for promoting a healthy and active lifestyle for people of all ages and fitness levels.

We hope you will be able to join us next May for the 2020 Yurihama International Ground Golf Open or for the ground golf competition to be held at Yurihama’s Shiokaze no Oka Tomari as part of the 2020 Kansai World Masters Games!

Don’t worry if you have never played before- with its straightforward rules, even beginners have a good chance of turning the tables with a hole-in-one!

★Extended Deadline to Apply for the 2016 International GG Open!!★

The deadline to register for the 2016 Yurihama International Ground Golf Open has been extended to Monday, September 5!!

Come and join us at Yurihama’s ground golf course Shiokaze no Oka Tomari on Sunday, October 2nd, for a day full of ground golf, fun, and new friends!

Ground golf is like a mix between croquet and mini-golf, making it a fantastic way to mingle with friends and new acquaintances while you get some fresh air and exercise. It is simple enough that beginners can quickly catch on, but still challenging enough to whip up your competitive spirit!

For those new to Tottori, this is a great way to get to know the area and to make new friends! There are shuttle buses available from Tottori Station, Yonago Station, and in front of TPIEF’s Kurayoshi office, so there is no need to worry about transportation! However, if you drive, there is also parking available at the venue.

 It is only 1000 yen to attend (includes lunch and souvenirs) and free rental gear is available! There is also time to practice and learn the rules before the start of the tournament.
