Legendary Program Loved by Golf Fans Revives on YouTube

"GOLF Budoden" was a popular golf program that featured numerous top professional golfers and golf industry figures, garnering strong support from many golf fans.

The MC for the program is Mr. Koso Okazaki, who is known as Jumbo Ozaki's sponsor and leads GMA, a legendary golf club manufacturer.

In addition to his long career in the golf industry, Mr. Okazaki is also known as a businessman who runs the high-end Wagyu beef restaurant "Ginza KOSO" in Ginza 8-chome.

Now, "GOLF Budoden" is being revived across generations.

Moving from television to YouTube, it will be streamed as a special collaboration project with the popular golf channel "Showtime Golf."

The Stage is the Prestigious Windsor Park Golf & Country Club

The venue for this showdown is the prestigious "Windsor Park Golf & Country Club" in Ibaraki Prefecture.

It is a genuine championship course that has hosted the Japan Public Amateur Championship. With its strategically challenging layout and beautiful scenery, a serious match was realized between the GOLF Budoden team and the Showtime Golf team.

About Sanctuary Golf's e-Gift Business

The background to Sanctuary Golf's special sponsorship of the "GOLF Budoden" revival project is the major theme of expanding the golf population.

Among the golfers who enjoy "GOLF Budoden," many are intermediate to advanced players who have been golfing for a long time, and a significant number think, "I want my wife or girlfriend to start golfing too," or "I want to enjoy rounds together in the future."

Therefore, Sanctuary Golf launched its "e-Gift" service in May 2026, which allows users to gift beginner golf lessons.

Even those with no prior golf experience can easily start playing golf, and by improving through lessons, they can eventually enjoy golf with their spouses or partners.

Since its establishment, Sanctuary Golf has supported beginners who "want to start golf but can't take the first step."

Through this initiative with GOLF Budoden, we aim to create a future where male golfers who love the sport can give the gift of a new hobby, golf, to their loved ones and enjoy it together.

As a proposal for new communication and lifestyles born through golf, Sanctuary Golf will continue to promote its e-Gift business and work towards further expanding the golf population.
