Sarumaru doesn't need permission to belong in golf, so the entire establishment has to burn itself down trying to stop him. He's playing with a handmade driver in betting matches while Mr. X deploys trained assassins in polo shirts, and somehow the kid with nothing is the only one who understands what golf actually is. The show spends 143 episodes proving that raw hunger and refusal to play by the rules matter more than every advantage money can buy.

Sarumaru is a wild boy from the countryside who lives with his mother and five siblings and calls himself a professional golfer. He plays golf for bets at a local course, swinging a driver he made by hand. When Mr. X, the hidden ruler of the golf world, notices his skill, he tries to bring the boy under his control by sending his own golfers after him. The matches that follow are fantastical, with rivals who wield absurd powers, among them kung-fu masters, fairway fairies and even Death. Through these contests Sarumaru grows as a golfer, learns new techniques and makes new allies while he stands against Mr. X and his shadow organization.
