Japan. Golf-samurai
Master the art of ikebana and the skill of sword fighting, see the spectacular theater “Kabuki” and cherry blossoms… For this experience for countless years people from all over the world go to the land of the Rising Sun.

GAME FORMAT
There are two main game formats in Golf-match play and stroke play. The first is a match in which the basis of scoring are the holes, and the second – the competition on the score, where the number of strokes is fixed.
