(Adds comment from country club manager, Olympic minister)
TOKYO, Feb 3 (Reuters) - The Kasumigaseki Country Club, which will host the golf tournaments at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, will hold a board meeting next week to consider ending its ban on women becoming full members, local media reported.
The vote comes after calls to shift the tournament from the private club in Saitama province because of the rule, which allows women to play Monday through Saturday but bars them from becoming full members and from playing on Sundays.
The Tokyo Olympic organising committee sent a letter to the club on Thursday appealing for it to reconsider the policy.
