Tokyo tee time

With club membership fees costing a colossal amount of money, the average salary man is unlikely to be whiling away every weekend on the golf course; however a large number of decidedly less exclusive driving ranges means that the option of going out and hitting a few balls is always open.

Yet whether its clobbering balls from inside a cage, or careering round the course in a cart, looking the part is paramount in Japan, so sensible slacks and a pastel-coloured Pringle polo are de rigueur. And it’s not just clothing either, as having the right equipment is considered equally important — regardless of the expense.

But even such meticulous preparation doesn’t guarantee success, and for the Japanese golfer who is struggling to get his club up and down, feels his shaft may not be stiff enough, or simply needs his balls gripped firmly, these bikini girl golf tees could be ideal.

A set of these supposedly sexy girls no doubt doing a roaring trade on online retailer Rakuten, where 4 can be bought for 2,730 yen (22 dollar). A purchase that may well have players confidently whacking off from the tee in no time.
