Golf In Japan

Kicking off 2026 and Season 3, the boys are back — starting with a look back at Joe’s questionable fashion choices from last year;)
Starting with a preview of some new partner courses for 2026 - particularly in the Fuji area, including Dai Fuji Golf Club, Fuji Golf Course, Hayama Kokusai Country Club, and Gora Kadan Fuji Golf. The boys also share ther New Year’s resolutions, covering personal golf goals and the spectacular regions and courses they want to play in 2026.
The episode also pays tribute to Japanese golf legend 'Jumbo' Ozaki, who sadly passed away. With his amazing 115 professional wins in Japan record, we remember the gentle giant and his enormous impact on the game.
LIV Golf is back in the headlines with Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour, and the boys break down what it means for the professional landscape.
With more manufacturers moving toward custom fitting, they discuss the benefits of getting fit — and why so many visiting golfers are choosing to do it while in Japan.
Finally, looking ahead to the year to come, the boys talk about where the Golf In Japan business is headed and how they plan to deliver new, higher-quality ways to serve you — our community.

Catch up with the boys — a full squad this week with KC, Damon, Ryan, and Pro Joe — plus a special interview with Ron Chopper and Joel!
We kick things off by learning what “joints” are on Japanese golf courses. DJ and Ryan share their experience at Club Gazan in Gunma, just 50 minutes from Tokyo and absolutely worth a visit. Kyoto also gets a healthy shout-out.
Was the Baycurrent a little light on punters? Despite an amazing line-up, a deserving winner, and a killer location, the boys break down what might have happened. And what’s going on with LIV these days? KC floats a big idea: why not combine the DP World Tour and LIV to create a truly competitive alternative to the PGA TOUR?
From 45:40 onwards, enjoy the mobile interview with Australian big man and golf creator Ron Chopper — the legend, the myth, the T-shirt! Why is he in Japan, and what did he and Joel get up to? How did he get into golf YouTube, and could he actually play professionally in Japan?

The boys tee off their first-ever YouTube match at Yokohama Country Club in a dramatic 1v1 that goes right down to the finish. Alongside the golf, they dive into some uniquely Japanese topics: why love hotels are turning into tourist attractions, just how safe Japan really is,  and why visiting Japan for golf should be on your travel list. Plus, tips on the best time of year to plan a Japan golf trip.
It’s also Ryder Cup week—the most anticipated showdown in years. Will Bethpage and the New York crowds create the ultimate atmosphere, or cross the line? With Ryan out this week, KC, Joe, and Damon are all-in on Team Europe as they debate dream matchups like Bryson vs. Rory and who will face Scheffler. And should Team USA players be demanding pay to represent their country?
Pro Joe closes with the latest Tour news, including Keita Nakajima’s “Air Fresh”. This and more on Golf In Japan!
