Interesting Person: Massy Kuramoto

Massy is one the more interesting people that I met on the Champion's Tour.  He is really small, probably 5'4", 135 lbs., just bombs the ball off the tee and has a 'rock star' image in Japan.  There is normally an entourage of Japanese photographers and writers following him. 

"Massy" has his own logo (I can't find it on the web, my Japanese is limited) and it is on his ball and the sole of his irons.  It isn't stamped onto the sole of his irons, it is cast in the club.  So he has a line of Bridgestone clubs, that are sold in Japan.   I'm working on my logo, the graphic artists just haven't come up with the right look yet.

His clothing contract states that he can only wear shirts/pants one time, so I can't imaging his suitcase!  And he travels back and forth from Japan on the off weeks.  Now THAT is a commute!
