What sign up privileges does a Pro Member receive?
For high-demand outings, Pro Members sometimes enjoy a sign up priority window (24 hours - 1 week). When a sign up priority window is in effect, only Pro Members will be able to sign up for that event. Non Pro members will only be able to sign up after the priority window has passed.
Pro Members also have greater flexibility with RSVP's. Interested in attending an event but not sure of your schedule yet? Pro Members can tentatively sign up for an outing or event right up until the first sign up deadline. Enjoy greater flexibility and make sure you get a game when your schedule allows.

What are the different Golfjin Competitions?
Golfjin runs a number of large and medium-sized golf competitions throughout the year; For example, the Sakura Cup in Spring, the World Cup in early Summer, the Kouyou Cup in Autumn (there are usually 10 high profile events in the year). Pro Members will receive a 50% discount on all entry fees for these events.

What special events and offers are available to Pro Members?
Periodically, Pro Members will receive exclusive invitations to any special events or offers arranged with Golfjin’s sponsors.

What is a “casual Golfjin outing”?
Every month, Golfjin arranges a number of smaller outings (4-20 people) to ensure members have an opportunity to play whenever they want a game.

When is Golfjin’s e-shop launching?
The Golfjin e-shop is scheduled to launch in 2012.

What is Golfjin’s Tee Time Assistance System?
Our Tee Time Assistance System is located here: http://www.golfjin.com/forum/teetime.php
If a Pro Member would like to arrange a tee time for a private outing, he or she can make a request through this system. This service is especially useful for members who don’t speak or read Japanese or who are too busy to research tee time availability.

What other benefits and privileges will be added in the future?
Golfjin is working hard to negotiate deals with a number of potential benefit partners. These will be announced as and when they are confirmed.

Still undecided? You can sign up for golf outings on an individual basis.

Major Golfjin Competitions: ¥3,000 entry fee
Minor Golfjin Competitions: ¥2,000 entry fee
Casual Golfjin Outings: Free - ¥1,000 organization fee
Other events (Social or arranged by others): Free or entry fees charged on the day *

From Our Members

"The Golfjin group is a MUST for any golfer. Well organized outings to many different courses, inclusive to all standards...they even let women play. Joking aside, love being members of this friendly group. Grant has also created a great, easy to use website that makes joining all the fun and competitive events a breeze, making for a stress-free (apart from the number of strokes!) round of golf every time you attend a Golfjin event."
Jan McDade (Australian), Tokyo

"Before coming to Japan in 2008 I was rather pessimistic as to the possibility of playing golf the easy going way I was used to in Norway. Golfjin came to my rescue. Playing golf in the Tokyo area has never been easier for foreigners and Japanese alike."
Tor Dahlstrom (Norwegian), DCM/Minister-Counsellor, Royal Norwegian Embassy in Tokyo

"Golfjin has given me the opportunity to play golf with outstanding people from Japan and around the world who have a common love for this great game! I can honestly say Golfjin.com has raised my quality of life in Japan - now if I could just lower my handicap!" Golfjin came to my rescue. Playing golf in the Tokyo area has never been easier for foreigners and Japanese alike."
Jason Millward (Canadian), Brand Advisor, On Point Japan K.K. Atsugi City, Kanagawa

“ゴルフ人との出会いで私のゴルフは今までの一般的なストロークプレーから様々な

楽しいプレースタイルへと幅が広がり、またすばらしい仲間とのつながりを

もたらしてくれました。イベントが行われない週はないほど活気のあるサイトです。

ただ気を付けないと楽しすぎて家庭不和の原因になるかも...”

"My encounter with Golfjin has broadened my golf life from the standard stroke play on to a new variety of exciting formats and greatest of all introduced me to a new world of great friends. There's almost never a week that goes by without an event going on. But beware, it's so much fun it might cause discord at home!"
Yasuhiko Iwatani (Japanese), Representative, Global Fresh Services, Ltd. Tokyo

"I just love golfjin - whether you want to find a game or plan one - this is the website to do it! Golfjin's membership is fun, diversified and the Japanese are international. My favorite event is the Sakura Cup held in early April as Grant does a fantastic job organizing all the details!"
Laura Bray Nakano (American) Women's Golf League in Japan, Ishikawa/Tokyo

"Without Golfjin I don't think I would have started to play golf, and from the friendly competition and support I would not be down from a 36 to 17 handicap in 2 years. I fully recommend this club to all my friends."
Dudley Clarke (Irish), IT Executive, Freelance, Nakano-Tokyo

Toshiaki Ishizaki (Japanese), Research Analyst, Minato-ku, Tokyo

"Golfjin is great - there's a huge range of golfing and related social activities that make playing easy, and fun, together with the chance to meet lots of new people from all walks of life. I love it."
Peter Gaydon (Australian)
