県内ゴルフ場、HPで海外へ 御殿場のベネットさん
県内のゴルフ場を紹介するサイト「ゴルフ・シズオカ」を運営するベネットさん=御殿場市神山 御殿場市内でゴルフインストラクターを務めるカナダ出身のベネット・ジョン・ギャロウェイさん(44)が、県内のゴルフ場を紹介するインターネットホームページを開設した。英語のサイトは珍しく、海外からのアクセスも増えているという。ベネットさんは「静岡は富士山があり、ゴルフ施設のレベルも高い。空港の開港が予定される中、多くの外国人に観光資源を知ってもらう機会になれば」と話している。
 ベネットさんは地元カナダでゴルフやスノーボードに親しみ、ホテルリゾートのマネジャーに。1991年、岩手県安比高原のリゾートの交換社員研修生として来日。各地のゴルフリゾートで学んだ後、御殿場ゴルフ倶楽部(御殿場市)のティーチングプロとなり、現在は同市東山に暮らしている。 「日本にはゴルフコースが 2500 カ所以上ある。各国の関係者やビジネスマンも訪れるのに、英語の情報発信がほとんどなかった」とベネットさん。外国人旅行者向けアウトドア情報誌のサイト「ゴルフ・イン・ジャパン」を知人と手掛け、昨年には県内の91カ所を網羅した「ゴルフ・シズオカ」をオープンした。

Summer heat has left us and the leaves have all but fallen. Most of you are
probably starting to think about retiring your clubs for the season and
focusing on winter sports like skiing and boarding. For some of us it's not
that easy to turn off the game, and the desire to tee it up lasts all year!
In this feature we will explore the options available for the year round
golfer as well as helpful tips for your winter game.

been a snowboard instructor and regular member of the Canadian Association of
Snowboard Instructors for over eighteen years. |

Business is challenging here in the Asia Pacific region, so when you decide to take some time out to relax, nothing is better than a ready golf destination with a panoramic view of Mt. Fuji to get your Bubba on!Just a little over an hour from the bustling Tokyo city life lies an area rich with natural host springs, wide-open countryside and 91 of Japans 2,400 golf courses. The Gotemba valley in Shizuoka Prefecture is home to the southern half of Mt. Fuji and easily accessible from Tokyo by car or train. |

A Pebbles’ Throw from
Tokyo Kawana Hotel &
Golf Club The Pebble Beach of
Asia and Less than 2 hours from Tokyo!
 If you’ve heard rumors of a fantastic, mysterious hotel and golf
links in Japan called Kawana, this is it. The Kawana hotel opened its doors in
1936 and features two of the finest coastal links courses you’ll find anywhere
in the world. In its heyday the resort was a buzz with valets scurrying about
in service of their cherished customers who comprised the most discerning of Japanese
and overseas society. |
