Detroit-born Bob White has been in love with golf since he picked up one of his father's clubs at the age of 8. There were no kids' size clubs in the late 1950s, he recalls. You just did the best you could with what you had.
So passionate is his enthusiasm for the game that he has developed a course for teaching English to Japanese golfers who want to feel comfortable when communicating with non-Japanese players on courses abroad or in Japan.
"I started thinking about Golf English years ago, but I've never known quite how to promote it before. With so many players here in Japan, and the number who travel abroad to play, it has to be a winner."
