Masters -Vijay Singh-ACE-Skips ball Accross Water- Hole In One – April 07, 2009

Thanks to Andres Lopez for having his camera in video mode, Video was shot on Tuesday April 07, 2009 at Augusta National Golf Course during Tuesday’s practice round on hole 16 (170 yard Par 3 Redbud) which is played entirely over water. After players hit their approach shot, they are persuaded (rather loudly) by the crowd to skip a ball over the pond onto the green , much like you would skip a rock over water, but they are using a club and a golf ball. It just so happen today that Vijay skips a ball over the water and into the hole in a single shot.

LPGA to mandate Koreans and others speak English (AFP)

The LPGA Tour is going to force its burgeoning South Korean contingent of players to learn to speak English or risk losing their playing privileges.

Starting next year, the Tour announced that players who have been on the tour for two years must pass a oral English test or face suspension.

LPGA announced an important thing.

It was “The use of English will be obligated to all players from next year. “

If an English interview cannot be passed, entry qualifications will be lost for two years.

That is, if English cannot be spoken, participating becomes impossible in the LPGA tour.

This news is a topic also in Japan now.

There are too a lot of Asians, especially the player of South Korea in the LPGA tour now.

I hear that the activity of the player of the United States decreases, and the audience rating in the United States has fallen for that.

In the rumor, it is said that this was done to make the player in the United States participate.

It is regrettable if depriving of the right to play golf only by the reason that English cannot be spoken.

This video is a response video by which genuine Tiger Woods reproduced an unbelievable super-shot in the game.

It is interesting.

Yuri Fudoh of Japan, third-round leader, tied for 3rd on 14-under.

Ai Miyazato of Japan was in 5th place on 13-under.

I want to expect the game in the future in a condition’s two Japanese having returned though this result is a little regrettable.

DSC00565 – burning man 2007 – Kid on Segway
Segway is in the spotlight recently in Japan.
The Segway is used in the golf course and Theme Park.
I hear that the Segway will be used by guarding the airport, the police, and the retail store in foreign countries.

However, why is the Segway popular in the golf course?
Because the Segway can run not to damage turf in the golf course.
It was necessary to pass the cart course the current having gotten in a cart.
However, if it is a Segway, it can approach the golf ball by the beeline.

The Segway might become more popular being backed up to the crude oil sudden rise and ecology.
However, it is not possible to run in Japan in the public thoroughfare by the restriction of the Road Traffic Law.
How if it tries to ride the Segway in the golf course and Theme Park?
