a golfer without equal!

The game of golf, as we know it,
was developed in Scotland in the
early 1700's. Since its humble
beginnings, the game has exploded
in popularity around the world.
From its legendary stars like
Slammin' Sammy Snead to the current
crop of rising young stars on the
PGA and LPGA tours, the game has
been played many ways.
And then, there is Yoichi Ogihara's
way!
Yoichi
and Kimura, Nakai
and Inagaki,
often tee it up on their favorite golf
course, Karuizawa 72 Golf.
When this
happens, the only thing safe from
their golf shots is the middle of the
fairway. Worms, trees, ducks, fish
and birds are in mortal danger!
Rumors to the contrary, Yoichi
is no
cheapskate. The truth is, Yoichi
may
be a bit frugal when it comes to
less important issues like
retirement planning, dental work and
back - taxes - but not when it comes
to golf equipment.
Yoichi
learned long ago that golf is a
game you play to win. After all,
there's usually a wager or two at
stake.
Over the years, Yoichi has learned to
hold his breath on his backswing,
play the ball where it lies, and
never worry about a little water.
