Police in Koshigaya, Saitama Prefecture, have arrested a 30-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder after he hit a woman on the head with a golf club.
According to police, Naoto Kobayashi, a bar manager, attacked the woman, whom he knows, on the street outside his bar at around 1 a.m. on Saturday, Sankei Shimbun reported.
Kobayashi's acquaintances, who were at the scene, took the golf club away from him after he hit the woman, but she suffered a fractured skull and is unconscious and in a critical condition, police said Sunday.

Should get a lengthy sentence for attempted murder.

The article doesn't say but probably a short iron 6,7,8 or a 9. Attempted murder at least.

This is par for the course in that that sand trap and water hazard infested area of Japan. It is bozos like this that give peaceful law abiding golfers like us a bad rep. Let's wish her a speedy recovery and him a severe punishment.

It’s strange they don’t mention the victim’s name or even suggest a motive. Without basic info how is this news?

They don't give lengthy sentences for actual murder here. So, it's highly doubtful.
