So after a week of being away in the very hot tropical island of Palau, I am back in the golfing world here in Japan. The weather was great, the water was crystal clear and diving was fun, but it was hard to believe a place as beautiful as Palau did not have a golf [...]

The largest segment of golfers in Japan is comprised [...]

  • Posted on: October 30th, 2009 by: gocchin

Tourstage recently held a demo day open to the public. They do this for every pre-launch at major driving ranges throughout Tokyo so that regular golfers like you and I can check out their new gear before launch and try them out at the range. I was unable to attend this pre launch this time [...]
