Andrew Thomson on remote courses in Japan, hickory golf, links turf, and "champagne golf"
Andrew Thomson joined me from Itoshima, Japan to discuss the type of golf courses one can find on remote islands in Japan, such as the spectacular Hirabaru at Ukushima Island, and the 5 hole links beside the sea at Ojika.
I spoke with Andrew Thomson about golf at remote courses in Japan, playing links golf courses with old golf clubs, hickory golf, and target golf created by mowing patterns.
