The Japan Golf Association said Tuesday it has no issues to address despite criticism over the 2020 Tokyo Games golf venue not extending full memberships to women and questions surrounding its selection process.
Kasumigaseki Country Club, located in Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture, also prohibits women from playing on Sundays. On Jan. 13, Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike cast the first stone in the debate over the membership issue.
"There're 212 female members and there've been no complaints about the way they are treated or the rights they have. The door is wide open for female players," the JGC said in a statement.
