FORMER England and Cardiff footballer Jay Bothroyd has claimed he was turned away from a golf course in Japan, where he is now playing, because he is a foreigner.


The 36-year-old Arsenal academy graduate, who made his only appearance for England in 2010, joined J1 League club Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo last July.

But the striker was left stunned after he was refused entry to his local golf course on the northernmost of Japans major islands - the Hokkaido Classic - which was designed by golf legend and 17 time major tournament winner Jack Nicklaus.

The exclusive par-72 course charges 338 for a weekend round of golf between June and July, with its fees website page stating that non-Japanese players must be accompanied by a club member.

But Mr Bothroyd, who has also played in Italy and Thailand, took to social media to question if it would be deemed racism in the UK or US.

Imagine a non-Japanese guy hitting a golf ball >_>

So he was turned away because he wasn't a club member.

Why is this even a story.
