Tournaments
There are regular tournaments, with scores as low as 96 for 4 rounds. One unexceptional competitor recently recorded a score of 22 for a round. Tournaments usually cost 1000 yen, which seems expensive, but on reflection is quite cheap when you consider that a box lunch is often included. The winner generally gets an envelope with a small amount of money, and the runners-up get boxes of tissues. Very often the courses are closed because people are having a tournament.
A competition is being held to see where the World Championships of Park Golf will be held next Spring. Many potential competitors are weighing up the possibility of investing in a Park Golf stick for such a tournament. While this would certainly have the effect of improving the level of scoring, many of the competitors are currently only part-time Park Golfers, and are wary of the expense that would be incurred. Additionally, many of the competitors are committed international travellers, and might find difficulty moving this stick around the various airports of the world.
