Golf is art for Freer's Japanese conservator

Article Abstract:

Smithsonian Institution Freer Gallery of Art conservator Akihiro Kato likens his profession with golf. He notes that restoration of ancient Asian silk paintings requires patience, practice and attention to detail. Golf demands similar requirements but the focus is mainly on practice and repetition of strokes. Throughout his pursuit of his profession and his recreation, Kato continues to find similarities between art conservation and golf.

Malaysian golf school is a duffer's delight

Article Abstract:

Golf is becoming increasingly popular in Asia. However, this popularity has more to do with socializing and business connections than with the game itself. This fact easily becomes evident by the large number of well-equipped and expensively-outfitted Asian would-be golfers who do not even have a notion of how to play the game. In Malaysia, an American pro has started the country's first golf school to teach the game to beginners.
