When and why
did you start golfng?
I was a late bloomer and only started
golf when I was 32 years old. I had
friends who were into golf and I
was curious to learn more about the
sport that had captivated them all. It
was also a good opportunity to enjoy
time together with my buddies.
How often and
where do you golf?
I usually golf 2 – 3 times monthly
at MGK events or at friendly
competitions in Batam with fellow
Japanese golfers. Occasionally, I golf
at various golf courses in Japan too.
