The Olympic Games in Tokyo showed us the extraordinary condition of Kasumigaseki Country Club as it hosted the Olympic Games. Japanese golf has been center stage as Japanese golfers have celebrated first time wins at hallowed venues and in hallowed events such as Augusta National Country Club for the Augusta Women's Amateur and The Masters, both of which featured first time winners from Japan. We celebrate the accomplishments of Japanese players: Hideki Matsuyama (Master's winner), Mone Imani (Olympic silver medalist and 5 time Japan LPGA winner this YEAR!) , Nasa Hataoka, Tsubasa Kajitani, Yuka Saso (US Womens OPEN winner), in our weekly Tour Course Collections and our weekly Tour Watch pages on the site: https://golftraxx.com/course_collection_single.php?collection=Tour+Courses+March+31+- +April+4%2C+2021&coursename=Augusta+National+Golf+Club+- +Eighteen+Course&zipcode=30904&logo=usga_logo.jpg&static=true Here at golftraxx, we're also doing our part to celebrate golf's presence in the Olympic Games and golf in Japan, and to celebrate the unique characteristics of golf in Japan as we continue to update our map of all the Japan golf courses in our database! GolfTraxx has added the Japan LPGA to it's list of tours in our tour watch page: https://golftraxx.com/tour_watch.php GolfTraxx continues to update hole and course maps and scorecards and flyovers for courses throughout Japan as shown here: https://golftraxx.com/view_golfcourses_on_map_by_country.php?state=JP&static=true While spectators were not allowed to attend the games in person, television viewing of golf events in Japan (especially in women's golf) were at all-time highs from every corner of the globe.
