Japan is a land rich in tradition. You've got your Shinto shrines,sumo,samurai,and much more. The people also take golf very seriously, especially that rarest of happenings:the hole-in-one. In most countries, the golfer who hits the lucky stroke is rewarded, usually with drinks from his friends. In Japan, they take a different view: The golfer who gets a hole-in-one is obliged to throw a lavish party for his golfing buddies and his other friends, which can run as high as $10,000.
