Sarumaru Sarutani is a professional golfer, determined to defeat the shadowy Mr. X and his syndicate of evil golfers, including Dragon the kung-fu golf master. This TV special was based on the 1974 manga by Motoo Abiko, one half of the Fujiko-Fujio duo who created Doraemon. Splitting from his working partner Hiroshi Fujimoto in the 1980s, he produced several titles under the name Fujiko-Fujio "A," including Parasol Henbe, Laughing Salesman, and Billy Dog-PGS is his longest and most successful creation. Serialized in publications for the very young, such as Mommy, Baby Book, and Corocoro Comic, the story was never intended for the adult audience, except perhaps as a way of making Dad's weekend hobby look more interesting to his children. The hero's much more akin to the Man with No Name than to the irrepressible Stone Monkey of Journey to the West, but these games are played strictly for laughs.
Bringing new meaning to the term "crazy golf," PGS returned as a TV series in 1985, with a series of fantastical tournaments in which players used absurd special powers, and the simian Saru remained determined to triumph. Amid kung-fu masters, dragon warriors, and fairway fairies, his opponents include Death himself. In the midst of these adventures, he went to America in another TV movie PGS: Saru in USA (1985) for a duel against the Native American golf-shaman Hawkwild. The movies beckoned with PGS: Challenge of Super Golf World (1986), set in the eponymous theme park where our hero faced the world greats at a tournament run by the ever-present Mr. X. A second movie, PGS: Koga's Secret Zone-the Shadow Ninja Golfer (1987), took Saru to a hidden valley in the Japanese Alps, where Saru and his family must battle a trio of golf-assassins. More adult golfing activities would be the focus of Beat Shot.
