books

is now available, and I see from the Amazon.co.jp website that it can be shipped to any country. The full title is 芝草科学とグリーンキーピング (マイカの時間 The BOOK). In English that is Turfgrass Science and Greenkeeping (Micah no jikan The Book).

It’s called A Short Grammar of Greenkeeping. The book is not completely new material. It is based on the 14 articles I wrote in a series for GCM China, which I realized make a short grammar.

There are two monthly magazines that go to almost every golf course in Japan. One is Golf Course Seminar, published by Golf Digest Japan, for which I write a column about turfgrass science; the other is *Monthly Golf Management, by Ikki Publishing, who also produce the annual Greenkeeper almanac.
