NEWS 051 : THE 45TH KYOKUYO OPEN GOLF MATCH
The 45th "Kyokuyo Open" golf match was held on October 11, 2005, under crisp autumn sky. This year, a record number of 125 proud players including our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and employees, gathered at Shimonoseki to win the biggest title of the industry (in my opinion)! The number is 31 players higher than the 44th match, and almost enough to fully occupy Shimonoseki Golden Golf Club.
The battle was started at 7:32, in 32 groups of 4, or 3. In that calm weather that actually allowed no excuse, all the golfers showed off their skill quite frankly, some in fantastic plays and others in... funny plays (to gallery and other players, of course).
Among the players who really shone is Mr. H. Miyauchi (Tokai Electrics), the 2005 winner. With a little help from double peoria scoring system, Mr. Miyauchi built a big margin over competitors. The best gross prize was won by Mr. K. Aoi (Kyokuto Kousan) who shot 81. No wonder his first name, Katsutoshi, means "victory".
At prize-giving ceremony, our president Mr. Okamoto reported, in his speech, that Kyokuyo continued to achieve a stable order backlog thanks to great cooperation from its suppliers and supporters. Mr. Okamoto did not forget to stress constant supply and steady price would be key factors for further stabilized growth. Mr. Ochi, vice president, then announced the next "Kyokuyo Open" will be held on the company's commemoration day, October 10, 2006, at the same place, but with even more invited players "sufficient to completely occupy Shimonoseki Golf Club"! We all look forward to seeing you at the 46th Kyokuyo Open!
Finally, we would thank people at Shoei Sangyo Co., Ltd. who assist us every year behind the scene - in score calculation, front desk operation and other services.
