I ran into these Japanese and Korean television shows while surfing the web. They are like those saturday morning preteen dramas (Hannah Montana, or Saved By The Bell). I like the special effects they use to dramatize the golf shots. And of course, the harajuku-esque costume design takes center stage. Check out this episode of
"Hana Pro Golfer", and these trailers for
"Birdie Buddy". If I were up early on a Saturday morning, hung over, and there was no tournament playing on the Golf Channel, I would problably watch these... for about three minutes. But these shows say a lot about where golf fits into the culture there, compared to here in the U.S.
