The Mie Journal

A WEBLOG MADE IN JAPAN

Golf Club

By Yuu · November 16, 2005

I belong to the Golf Club at Mie University. I have never enjoyed golf before.

Golf is not a popular sport in Japan because it takes a lot of money to start playing it; it takes money to gather a set of clubs, to play a ground. Maybe this is the reason that Japanese golfers cannot win world-class events. If someone has great golf talent, he cannot start a career as a professional golfer. It should be easier to play golf for everyone.

I love Tiger Woods so much because he has the most beautiful swing in the world. Actually he is going to come to Japan, entering a Japanese golf tournament in Miyazaki Prefecture in November. I really want to see him, but there are so many people, it is very difficult to find an empty hotel now. He is very famous in Japan.

Now I have a big goal. By the end of the year, I want to improve my handicap to 28. This is not easy for me, but I want to achieve it anyway.

I started to play golf for two reasons. One is my father. He runs restaurant named “BOO” in my hometown, and he started new job as making golf club. So I needed no money to gather a set of golf clubs. The second reason is a golf game named “Minnano golf” so I want to play golf in reality.

Handycap should be taken between professional and amateur golfer. For example, if you hit balls 72 times in one game, your handycap is 0. But it is average, I don’t understand it in detail. I am sorry, I am learning.

Yuu-san—this doesn’t explain the idea of a handicap very well.

When you’re reading this, you’re on the Internet, which means you’ve got all the world’s information right at your fingertips, so please go and search for a precise definition, then report back to this comment thread and link to the place where you’ve found it, okay?

I don’t like golf !!!!

because we have to be calm during many hours ,I prefer Rugby because we need to be in fit during the season and we also need to workout during the year.

the principal reason ,for me, to prefer rugby is because I can put all my anger in the games !!!!
