And Then Golf Happened ... Golfing Again - in Japan. The stories of a foreigner who rediscovers golf ... after 60 ... in Japan. As retirement was approaching, I needed a hobby. A friend suggested golf. As a long-term resident of northern Japan, I was able to handle most things in my adopted home. Golf was another matter. The contents include Japan's golf history and geography (but with humor), Japan's golf vocabulary and manner of play (with ample explanations of the language), embarrassing moments of Japanese golf and the lost ball in Japan (both common occurrences for me), a round of golf on an Aomori golf course (located in the far north of Japan), and the realization that ... I am not Japanese yet ... in the world of golf, anyway. Come along and enjoy some Japanese golf.
