I am going to Osaka 10-20 November and planning to take my own clubs with me and play a few rounds as well as some golf related shopping. I have been to Tokyo twice already so know my way around Japan a bit but I have never played golf out there. If anyone has and advice/tips they will be...

Oh and one of the +3 rounds involved no warm up, running to the tee and hitting very poor tee shots on first two holes....

My handicap currently fluctuates between 10 and 11. On my home par 72 course in non medal rounds from same tees I have shot 75 twice and broken 80 at least half a dozen more times. I have played the front 9 in level par and the harder back 9 in -1. My best medal rounds have been 80 gross...

Uniqlo heat tech socks. Never had cold feet in them.

I've never putted with interlocking grip and as chipping is a putting like stroke it seems sensible to use the same grip as for putting. I can do both but thinking that interlock makes me hold the club tighter/more tension which is no good when trying to gently flight a 60 deg 2 yards onto...

Do you chip with the same grip or revert to conventional? I'm beginning to think the interlock is not compatible with 'soft hands' and finding conventional better.

Not saying this applies to everyone but whenever I play with someone new who has a Scotty I play close attention to their putting and have yet to notice any Scotty user superiority.

I'd rather have a variety of layers I can combine depending on conditions all year round than an insulated jacket you can only wear for 2 months or so. My current layering system is: UA base layer GG insula Uniqlo ultralight down vest Jacket depending on level of cold/wind/rain. Haven't been...

This. Have used as a second third or 4th layer depending how cold it is.

20 mins walk. Under 5 mins in the car. Also have 2 other courses and a driving range within same distance.

Can anyone recommend one I can use in the garage? Concrete floor so want a bit of padding rather than a thin piece of carpet. Thanks.

Would also point out that after spending hours watching YT videos on chipping and pitching there are clearly many different methods advocated!

I find that no wrist break is fine for short chips but does not work for me beyond a certain distance. For the longer shots I like the hinge and hold. There is a great butch harmon video on this on YT.

I've probably broken 80 about 10 times and the common denominator seems to be that I have been totally relaxed and not worried about the score. Not played as much this year and only managed it once and that was unexpected as shot +7 on front 9 and -1 on back 9 for a 78. Best medal score is...

Love LHL. Think a lot of people try it and find it too odd and go straight back to conventional too quickly.
