| In recent years, along with the strong development of the Vietnam-Japan strategic partnership in various fields, the Vietnamese community in Japan has also developed rapidly. The Vietnamese community has become the third largest expat community in Japan, making contributions to the development of Japan and strengthening bilateral relations. Along with that, golfing in the Vietnamese community also has a strong development. The number of golfers is increasing, the participants are quite diverse. Golf is no longer a sport exclusively for the upper class. It has become a bridge that connects members of the Vietnamese community in Japan through their hobby and passion for golf. The official establishment of the Vietnamese Golf Association in Japan (VGAJ) in December 2019 has become an important milestone, marking the growth of the golf movement in the community. VGAJ has become the home of golfers in the community, bringing together members with similar interests and passion for golf. The members include officials in the Vietnamese representative agencies in Tokyo and Osaka, Vietnamese intellectuals, businessmen, lecturers and researchers who are working in Japan. |
