◇Twin Rivers GC◇Fall City, Washington◇6,074 yards par 70 (blue tees) I once again enjoyed the usual early morning half nine holes at Twin Rivers without a reservation. However, this time there was a single person ahead of me, and a twosome behind me, so I was a bit scared. Even though it was Sunday, I always had the back nine holes all to myself. Even so, there was at least one hole between the groups in front and behind me, but as someone who wants to play at my own pace, it really bothered me. I tried waiting and rushing to keep the distance. I don't want good kids to try this, but I noticed that there was no one behind me, so after finishing eight holes, I went back to the adjacent fifth hole. Then I replayed the fifth through eighth holes from a different tee. In other words, I played holes 1-8 → move → holes 5-9, a total of 13 holes. If I was caught, I'd be in big trouble lol But something wasn't quite enough, so I gave in to the devil. When I play by myself with my caddy bag on my back, I usually take about 7,000 steps over 9 holes, but with the addition of this, I took over 10,000 steps ???? After the round, I went to see a waterfall near the course. This is Snoqualmie Falls, which was also the setting for the TV drama Twin Peaks. It rained heavily yesterday, so I was hoping that the water volume would increase, but it seems that the waterfall in early summer is always like this. However, it is about 80 meters high, so it is quite spectacular. It is a tourist spot in Seattle that is visited by 1.5 million people a year, so it is always crowded on weekends. But it was still early in the morning, so there was still plenty of free parking next to the waterfall. Then we went to the casino (Snoqualmie Casino), about 10 minutes away. It is small, but it is a proper Las Vegas-style casino. They have everything, including slots, roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and grap. Although they offer a wide range of free drinks, including coffee, I don't do any gambling. I only have sports betting, and only golf. Especially before the men's major tournaments, it's reported that "Tiger Woods is the most popular in the casino odds." In Washington state, gambling on sports became legal two years ago, and you can only bet money on casino premises, whether online or offline. I have no interest in gambling, including Japanese pachinko and horse racing, but I like the atmosphere in American casinos, so I go there occasionally. I only gamble on predicting the winner of professional golf tournaments. However, I only bet small amounts because it's just a way to spice up the golf viewing experience. The dedicated smartphone app allows you to bet on each player from as little as $1, which is great. Another feature is that you get a big return when you correctly predict the winner. When predicting the outcome of a professional baseball game, the odds are at most 1.5 times, but when a Japanese player wins in golf, the odds can be as high as 20 times. The target tournament this time is the men's U.S. Open Golf. I bet a little on the larger side for myself, only about $7, but if Matsuyama wins, it will be worth 36 times the odds, or about $260. I bet a total of just under $20 on Hovland, DeChambeau, Schauffele, Morikawa, Homa and others. This will no doubt make watching the matches live that much more interesting.
