In late March I will be returning to the States from a 15 day golf package trip to Vietnam and Thailand. I will be staying 2 nights near Narita Airport in Japan. Anybody know anything about the courses there? I plan to get a round in if the weather cooperates.

I wouldn't have thought so but a quick look on Google Earth shows a number of courses nearby. Be forewarned that golf in Japan an be very expensive. You may need a reservation to play.

Funny that I just flew out of Narita a week ago and was looking at the courses as we climbed out.   It was a gorgeous late afternoon, and I counted 14 different courses before we circled out over the ocean.

A few years ago I looked into playing courses there as I was through Narita a lot.   Most of the courses in Chiba prefecture are private and didn't entertain outside play, but there were several that were gaijin-friendly.    One I recall was Taiei CC, about 10 minutes from the airport; here's a link: http://www.taiei.cc/index.html Glenmoor CC was another that I looked into, although I recall it didn't look quite as nice.   Pricing for all of them was around $300 if I remember right (at the exchange rate at that time).

If you find a good one, let us know.   I still fly through Narita about once a quarter, and would love to make it a nice break instead of just an annoying stopover.

Just returned from my Southeast Asia trip. Found a Japanese golf forum website in English (golfjin.com). Posted a message on it and was answered by an American living and working in Japan. He picked me up at hotel and we played Caledonian Golf Club about 30 minute drive.

A very nice course. In excellent conditon, challenging and fun to play. Price included cart and a meal at he turn (mandatory). Price was around $180. I was advised that many of the courses closer to Narita Airport can be booked in advance and are even less than the one we played. It truly was a wonderful day and would do it again if staying overnight near airport.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
