Posted October 23, 200717 yr comment_143559 Ogura (lastname) Yuko (firstname), or affectionately know to her millions of fans in Japan as Yukorin, took up golf to prove that even a super idol and entertainment talent with a packed 7 day a week, nearly 365 day a year schedule to show that with the proper coaching and training she could break 100 in her first year of playing golf. Yukorin is 23 year old who has long been one of my favorite idols. I just the other day made a post on my blog Inpakuto.com that I had received her 2008 calendar for my home office. My wife knowing that I'm a big fan of hers found out that there would be a magazine published featuring her training and all the key lessons she used to break 100 in under a year. She ordered it for me and it arrived today! Along the way Taylormade Japan and Adidas who are well aware of her popularity picked up the tab for gear and clothing for a year, and smartly so. First we'll start with pictures of Yukorin in her regular day job as number one Photo book seller and visual DVD queen of Japan. Her pure and cute looks have slayed many fools like myself into collecting her stuff. Kawaiiness at it's best... (kawaii is cute in Japanese). Now on to business... the golf. Being a TM girl, Yukorin gets to wear all Adidas and sport the ladies line of TM golf clubs. She actually started these lessons last year so the new Ladies Burner clubs hadn't come out yet. Driver: Ladies R7 New XR 14* 420cc driver with REAX 30XR shaft at C2 FW's: 3, 5, 7, 9 R7 New XR Steel Fairways with REAX 30XR shafts at C0 Utilities: #5 and #6 R7 Draw Ladies Rescue with REAX 45 Lite at C2 Irons: R7 Draw Ladies 7-SW with REAX 45 Lite at C2 Putter: TM Rossa Fontana RSi She began lessons late last year with a dedicated coach at K's Island Golf Academy in trendy and hip Shibuya. The magazine pretty much demonstrates drills and tips that helped Yukorin break 100. I scanned a few of the pics for your enjoyment. Didn't bother with most of the lessons but can do that too. (^_^)

October 24, 200717 yr comment_143566 she gets a s**t load of respect from me thank her for trying out if there is one hot chick that plays golf, others will follow suit
October 24, 200717 yr Author comment_143569 Here are some shots from her own personal blog... she hits the driving range if she has a break in her crazy schedule....
October 24, 200717 yr comment_143575 I'd love to play around with her..............and, no, I dont mean 'a round'.......
October 24, 200717 yr comment_143577 OK guys, its kawaii and not AV. Edited October 24, 200717 yr by Duffer19
October 24, 200717 yr Author comment_143578 Hey gocchin, I thought she was your missus...??? The missus is a kawaii idol as well (^_^) who also golfs very well
October 26, 200717 yr Author comment_143665 Yukorin played yesterday but was disappointed in her game as she has had no time to practice. She will be on a golf show soon so we will get to see video! (^_^)
November 7, 200717 yr Author comment_144235 She ate some rice balls yesterday then later today she went to the driving range close to where she was working... where she proclaimed to her surprise that she was hitting it well... Looks like she didn't bother changing from her work clothes! (^_^) At least she gets to play! My season is over!
November 7, 200717 yr comment_144236 T, Does she have a blog? You need to drop her a note about switching over to some proper JDM gear! Some Epon woods, GIII or OnOFF irons with I-6's, and... you get the idea!

Some Epon woods, GIII or OnOFF irons with I-6's, and... you get the idea! She's sponsored by Adidas and Taylormade Japan so I don't think she'll be switching over soon. The R7 XR line for ladies is not bad at all though.
November 7, 200717 yr comment_144242 I wondered about the sponsorship with the all Adidas/TM bag, that answers my question!
November 15, 200717 yr Author comment_144657 Yuko played in the Visa Taiho Masters charity tournament over the weekend. This picture of her escaping a bunker made the Sponichi News site. Gotta give her a thumbs up for fashion!
