Japan Today has a story about the sad fall of standout Japanese golfer Jumbo Ozaki. Having not won a tournament in three years, Ozaki declared bankrupcy following the collapse of his side businesses.

It’s sad, but that’s not what’s so interesting about the article. What’s interesting is that the new stars in Japanese golf are the female golfers.

“Once, we could expect to sell 20,000 drivers of the same sort used by a male pro,” said a golf equipment industry representative, “but recently, the driver that Miyazato uses — the V-iQ — has become a blockbuster, selling hundreds of thousands. Manufacturers are turning to women golfers to endorse their products and the men are being squeezed out.”

Could something like that be on its way in the United States? I doubt it. But there is no arguing that the new breed of female golfers have an appeal of the type not seen since ... well ... the young Tiger Woods.

The Scotsman takes the PGA to task for its new scheduling plan, and predicts that golf will go the way of tennis.

Its a scathing opinion piece, and you can tell where the entire piece is going by reading the first paragraph:

A FUNNY thing happened in golf last week. The most powerful organisation in the game, America’s PGA Tour, surrendered. Faced with a long-obvious truth that, after the PGA Championship in mid-August, the vast majority of Uncle Sam’s nieces and nephews are interested only in those sports involving helmets - specifically colourfully-dressed characters chasing a mini-rugby ball or anonymous men driving souped-up cars in endless circles - commissioner Tim Finchem announced that, from 2007, the structure of the PGA Tour will undergo drastic surgery. This will amount to, in his words, “the most impactful series of events in the history of the sport”!

This would make a nice gift. Your golfer can snuggle up in this during those long winter months when she’s merely thinking about golf.
