How is Golf here in Japan for kids?
Getting kids on a course is difficult and there is little structure for them. Golf numbers overall have decreased and golf courses need to encourage new players into the game, junior golfers are a key part of the future. It initially was slow but we have had excellent support from venues to date like Tama Hills, Kasagi, Windsor Park and others to come in 2006. The future is very encouraging and we are very happy to be a supporter of the games development. You have events planned for 2006 that are very popular, tell us about them. USKG Tournaments are structured events designed to bring families to the course and give kids opportunity to enjoy the sport at a real golf course. Parents become caddies and tees are adjusted to kid’s age and gender. Family members and friends often form the gallery. At a USKG Tournament every kid has a chance to par a hole and be a star. When are your next events in Kansai and Kanto areas? We have events scheduled in Osaka on March 27, Kyoto on March 30-31,
