Play Golf in Japan! Success Stories Media Announces the World's Only English-Language Guide to Japanese Golf Courses that Always Welcome Non-Japanese Players.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 20, 1998--Now everybody can play the world's best golf courses. Success Stories Media (www.japangolfcourse.com/home.htm) announces the world's only English-language guide to nearly 90 Tokyo-area golf courses where non-Japanese players can always play and never need a Japanese golf club membership or corporate affiliation.

Most golfers are unaware that Japan has some of the world's most beautiful and most challenging golf courses in the world, many built during the country's boom years and designed by leading Western golf course design firms. That's because, until recently, most of Japan's quality golf courses were closed to all but Japanese corporate members and their employees.

But now many of Japan's best courses, threatened by lower attendance and increased corporate bankruptcies, have lowered their fees and opened to Japanese and non-Japanese players alike. And with the weaker Japanese currency, the cost of play at Japanese courses for non-Japanese players is comparable to costs at the best courses in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.

Now you can order the 1998 SUCCESS STORIES:JAPAN TOKYO GOLF COURSE GUIDE, the world's only comprehensive guide to Japan's golf courses for non-Japanese golfers who do business, travel or reside in Japan or Asia, or who work in the legal, financial services, technology, real estate and scientific communities in Japan. The guide offers everything non-Japanese golfers need to get to these courses and play, including course descriptions and amenities, green fees and prices, and detailed travel instructions from Tokyo. It lists nearly 90 courses, all open to foreigners, within 2 hours traveling time from Tokyo. When ordered via our website, it costs just US$19.95 (plus $3 postage in the USA or $5 postage outside the USA), a 20% discount from its regular US$24.95 price.
