A golf driving range in Tokyo's Adachi Ward is one of the largest in the city and is open around the clock throughout the year. Golf has a reputation for being a "rich man's sport" in Japan, but 1,000 people visit this driving range each day and come for a myriad of reasons. A mother comes to practice late at night after her children go to sleep, a group of elderly men regularly meets up early in the morning, and one man even silently tees off because he feels uncomfortable being at home with his family. What are they thinking about each time they hit a golf ball into the distance?
