Got it. It's Pro Golfer Saru. Originally published in 1975. https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=34839
Edit: Apparently it's written by Fujiko Fujio, and has a Wii games about it.

I remember reading this manga about 10 years ago about golf. The main character is a barefooted kid. He doesn't know much about the world, but he's really good at golf. He plays against weird opponents at over the top golf courses.
