    I'm not sure what I can say to that. Anywhere in the world there's peripheral costs to the game - transportation, food, etc. Japan's not unique in that.

    I totally agree, pawatan. Anywhere you go in the world, there will be your fair share of elitist country club golf courses…

    China will surpass them because when they develop sports programs they usually look at the long term

    I have to disagree with you on this point. China only looks at the here and now when it comes to sports programs and venues. Take a look at Yao Ming and how…

    The bigger picture is recruiting to find the best players

    Good point biglittleman. Golf courses in Japan and Korea are just way too expensive. Also, they are nonexistent in places like China and Taiwan. Asia has to make more of an effort to promote the sport of golf if they…

    Continuing to make it an elitist sport where very few interested player have access which helps to further Japan's mediocre performances.

    Good point. Markets like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China just aren't doing enough to market their players. Seems to me that the Korean and Japanese ladies outshine their…

    Wow! What a finish to an interesting PGA Championship. Congratulations to Yang. He was absolutely clutch when it mattered. Overall, it was a big upset, as Tiger is usually able to hold off challenges like that; especially when having the lead going into the final round.

    Also, it was a…

    Also, I hope that Kuroda will get well soon. That hit he took to the head looked and sounded horrible. With the way he is playing, the Dodgers could really use you.

    9.58 is absolutely awesome. Congrats to Usain Bolt on breaking the world record yet again. Watching it on TV, it looks like Bolt isn't even running hard, but with his height and long strides, he just makes it look easy.

    I think Kaz should be proud, but it's not 2000 hits in the REAL sense.

    Good point. Now when Ichiro gets 2,000 hits (he needs just 20 more), in the Majors this year, that would be something. He will join an elite group in the Major Leagues. Also, Ichiro is…

    I suggest you try to play along with Q-sama.

    Excellent show. I learn a lot of Kanji from watching it (for now, I can usually recognize the first 4-5 questions). The historical questions are also quite difficult, but interesting. This show definitely beats that mindless Hexagon crap.

    It really is preposterous that people have to wait for up to a year to see a new film in the world's second-largest economy.

    I don't understand why you would want to see this crap of film in the first place. Me, I prefer to see something more compelling.
