Mori golfed in Chiba under corporate membership

TOKYO, Japan - The photo, taken from a Kyodo News helicopter on Feb. 17, shows the Hamano Golf Club in Ichihara, Chiba Prefecture, where Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori has golfed over the past 16 years under the corporate membership of a friend. The revelation, made Feb. 16, came a day after Mori sparked outrage among both ruling and opposition lawmakers for receiving a virtually free 40 million yen membership at a Yokohama golf club from another executive.
