The mode where bombs and panels appear on the course is also very fun. Everyone can get together and play it like a party game.
Takemoto explained, “We wanted to incorporate the feeling of playing an exciting board game with everyone, so we made use of panels. We aimed to capture the ‘fun’ of using cards obtained from the panels to strengthen one’s own character or impede other players. It felt like the perfect game to play during the long nights of fall. This seemed like the kind of game for which you would call your friends to come and play until the dead of night.”
Fukazawa added, “We had countless plans for this type of ‘gameplay,’ but the explosive traps, panels, golf club confiscation, and such were what remained. We watched many programs and videos about golf, including variety shows, and that’s where we got our inspiration.”
During the planning stages, there was even consideration of adding a romance system with the caddy. “Unfortunately, it did not happen because of time and budget constraints,” Fukazawa said with a laugh. “As you progressed through the game, your caddy would have confessed to you on the greens.”
In the end, the essence of the idea remained as “affection,” preserving the emotional connection without fully developing the romance mechanic.

An anonymous NFL coach recently shared his perspective on the ongoing rift between Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A. J. Brown on the field. Rumors have been circulating about the three-time Pro Bowler potentially being traded before the November 4 deadline. These speculations intensified after Brown expressed frustrations with the team’s offense this season.
According to an article by The Athletic’s Diana Russini, the anonymous coach explained that he understands Brown’s frustration with both the team and quarterback Jalen Hurts. He noted, “Hurts struggles against zone. That’s when A. J. goes MIA. There are times it looks like Hurts doesn’t fully trust what he’s seeing, so he checks it down and plays it safe. It’s either a deep shot or a checkdown — not much in between.”
The coach added, “The timing is just off. And you see it on the field — the communication between Hurts and Brown just isn’t there right now.”
This season, Brown has been targeted less frequently by Hurts. In seven games, the wide receiver has recorded 395 yards and three receiving touchdowns on 29 receptions for the Eagles, who currently hold a 5-2 record.
However, during their 28-22 victory over the Minnesota Vikings last week, Hurts and Brown appeared to finally rekindle their missing chemistry. Brown hauled in four receptions for 121 yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately, he injured his hamstring during the game, sidelining him for Sunday’s matchup against the New York Giants.
### DeVonta Smith Shares Thoughts on Brown’s Absence
Eagles star and Super Bowl LIX champion DeVonta Smith spoke about the challenges the team will face without Brown in the lineup. His comments came prior to the official decision to bench Brown as he recovers from his hamstring injury.
According to a tweet from The Athletic’s Zach Berman, Smith emphasized the need for offensive adjustments:
“Obviously, he’s a great player. We’ll have to adjust if that’s the case, he’s not out there. Everybody’s going to have to be studying a little harder, and guys will be moving around to different spots.”
### A. J. Brown’s Journey and Contract
A. J. Brown began his NFL career with the Tennessee Titans in 2019 before being traded to the Eagles in 2022. Since joining Philadelphia, he has established himself as a key player on offense.
In April 2024, Brown agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $96 million, solidifying his role with the team moving forward.
### Upcoming Game
The Eagles will face off against the Giants this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. With Brown sidelined, the team will undoubtedly need to adjust their offensive strategy to secure a victory at home.

Trump was then seen talking to spectators and waving both Malaysian and U.S. flags before taking off in his limousine, The Beast, with Anwar.
He is now headed to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, where a peace signing ceremony will take place to formally end the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia that erupted over the summer.
Earlier, Trump had announced that he would be signing the peace deal “immediately” upon landing in Kuala Lumpur.
In a notable moment during the trip, the Emir of Qatar joined Trump on Air Force One as they traveled to Asia.

Before the Los Angeles Dodgers scored a run in the first inning, added two more in the seventh, or another two in the eighth, Kiké Hernández had already made history simply by stepping on the field for his team in World Series Game 2.
With his 87th playoff appearance for LA, Hernández officially took sole possession of the record for the most games played by any player in a blue and white Dodgers uniform. He leapfrogged Justin Turner, whom he had tied the night before in Game 1.
Originally drafted in the sixth round of the 2009 MLB June Amateur Draft from American Military Academy in Puerto Rico, Hernández’s journey to the 2025 World Series was a long one. He played for the Houston Astros and Miami Marlins in 2024 before joining the Dodgers in 2015.
From there, Hernández landed in Boston in 2021 before the Red Sox traded him back to LA. Since returning, he has been a fixture in the Dodgers lineup and occasionally even taken the mound.
Making his playoff debut in 2015, all but 11 of Hernández’s playoff appearances have come wearing Dodgers blue. His total of 97 playoff games ranks among the most of any active player in baseball today.
Known as the Dodgers’ certified “Mr. October,” it’s clear the legend of Kiké Hernández will only continue to grow with each passing game—especially if he can help bring a third World Series trophy back to LA.

### Jannik Sinner vs Alexander Zverev Preview
Coming into the 2025 Vienna Open, both Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev are aiming to lift the trophy for a second time in their careers. Sinner, the top seed at this year’s tournament, has shown very little rust after retiring from his match in Shanghai. Prior to that, he claimed the title in Beijing, adding to his Wimbledon and Australian Open trophies.
The Italian has also improved his season record to an impressive 47-6. During the Vienna Open, Sinner has defeated two seeded players, Alex de Minaur and Alexander Bublik, and is yet to drop a set in the tournament so far.
Zverev, on the other hand, has secured his spot in a final for the first time since Stuttgart in June. The German boasts an Australian Open final appearance and a title at the Bavarian International earlier this year. However, his 48-21 win-loss record coming into Vienna is somewhat lackluster.
Zverev has faced tougher challenges in Vienna, needing a third-set tiebreak to overcome Jacob Fearnley. He also had to elevate his game to dispatch Lorenzo Musetti in two tight sets.

### Jannik Sinner vs Alexander Zverev Prediction
With his 2023 Vienna trophy, Jannik Sinner is one of the more recent champions at this tournament. Alexander Zverev claimed the title in 2021. The indoor hardcourts suit both players well, as each possesses a powerful serve that can be amplified by the fast conditions.
Zverev struggled with his serve earlier in the tournament, getting broken a few times. However, he was in top form during the semifinal, never facing a breakpoint. Sinner will need to keep this in mind and protect his own serve effectively.
The Italian is the more complete player with superior movement. If he can keep his unforced errors to a minimum, Sinner should be able to edge past Zverev.
**Prediction:** Sinner wins in straight sets.

The Alabama Crimson Tide survived yet another SEC thriller on Saturday, outlasting South Carolina 29-22 in a comeback that tested every bit of their championship mettle.
The victory came just days after head coach Kalen DeBoer had to rework his offensive plans, ruling out freshman wide receiver Lotzier Brooks before the matchup. Brooks’s absence opened the door for Germie Bernard to take on a bigger role — and he more than delivered.
Bernard not only caught the game-tying touchdown late in the fourth quarter but also sealed the victory with a 25-yard touchdown run in the final seconds. After the game, DeBoer couldn’t have been more complimentary of Bernard’s performance, which came at the perfect time for a Crimson Tide team that found itself down 22-14 midway through the fourth quarter.
Quarterback Ty Simpson—who continues to build a Heisman-worthy resume—rallied the offense for 15 unanswered points. His poise under fire and Bernard’s versatility helped Alabama avoid a potentially devastating upset loss on the road.
The Tide’s offensive balance was key, but so was their defense’s resilience. With the score tied 22-22, Alabama forced a late fumble on South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers, setting up the final drive. Moments later, Bernard’s touchdown run punctuated a dramatic comeback and preserved Alabama’s playoff hopes.
After the win, Crimson Tide fans erupted online, celebrating the team’s grit and Bernard’s heroics. “Gutsy play call, love it,” one fan wrote, while another summed up the collective stress of the night: “I was as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs! Roll Tide Roll!”
The victory improves Alabama to 7-1 on the season and keeps them firmly in the hunt for both the SEC Championship and College Football Playoff.
With a bye week up next before a critical matchup against No. 20 LSU, DeBoer’s squad will use the extra time to recover and continue building around players like Germie Bernard, who proved on Saturday that trust isn’t just earned in practice but in the biggest moments of the season.
