Tokyo’s golf-loving elite

Despite having a swing not all that dissimilar to an inebriated octopus playing golf for the first time whilst also participating in a spot of tentacle porn, being a member of Koganei Country Club, the most expensive and exclusive golf club in the world, Watanabe-san is sadly still under the impression that not only is he devastatingly handsome and supremely intelligent, but he also has the swing of a young Jack Nicklaus.

Or maybe it was Jack Nicholson.

    When I used to play orange balls were only for winter. Must be a rich thing.

    Actually orange balls are for putt putt.

    Have you had a chance to try out the Ebisu Golf Club? Seems like an interesting place. http://www.japan-i.jp/news/d8jk7l000005owgy.html

    Me gustaria contaros mi primera experiencia en esto del golf jeje
    Nos invitaron a unos amigos y a mi a jugar al golf en bilbao y la verdad es que no tuvo desperdicio.
    Nos pusieron en el campo de entrenamiento ya que salvo uno de los que ibamos, todos los demas no teniamos ni idea. Nos pusimos a darle al drive toda la mañana y sali de alli encantado.
    La verdad es que nos encanto eso si, a la mañana siguiente teniamos unas agujetas de tres pares…
    Segun pudimos echar un ojo, es el campo mas economico para jugar tanto si eres socio como si no, y la cuota de socio es irrisoria. Yo que no tenia ni idea de esto, pensaba que nos ibamos a dejar un ojo de la cara, pero no fue asi en absoluto. Lo recomiendo totalmente para probar algo direferente.
    Un saludo y hasta otra
