Kasumigaseki Country Club, slated to host golf at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, failed to make a decision about offering regular memberships to women at a meeting on Tuesday.
The private club, located in neighboring Saitama Prefecture, does not allow women to become full members or play on Sundays, policies that have drawn fire from both Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike and the International Olympic Committee.
The club's board of directors convened for the first time in Tokyo to discuss a request from games organizers the Japanese Olympic Committee, the International Golf Federation and the Japan Golf Association to allow women equal rights.
