One round. Two golf cultures. A private game in Japan with a bilingual PGA professional who lives between the swing and the handshake.
Request an invitation →In Japan, golf is not a game you rush. It is a ritual — the bow on the first tee, lunch at the turn, the bath after the eighteenth. I grew up between two golf cultures. My job is to hand you the keys to this one, and make sure you feel like a member, not a visitor.
“Ichi-go ichi-e — this round will only happen once.”
一期一会 · One time, one meetingA Japanese-American professional who learned the game in the Nevada desert, earned his PGA credentials in the United States, and brought it all home to Japan.
Tats studied at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, graduating in journalism, media studies and integrated marketing communications — while spending every spare hour on the range.
He passed the PGA Playing Ability Test and became a Class A member of the PGA of America, then went deep on the body behind the swing with the Titleist Performance Institute.
As a coach at Nike Junior Golf Camps in Las Vegas, he worked with young players on both their swings and their love for the game — the same patience he brings to every guest today.
Now based in the Greater Tokyo Area, Tats works where golf, sports technology and business meet — helping international brands grow across Japan and Asia-Pacific, and opening Japanese golf to the people he plays with.
Every invitation is arranged personally, built around your level, your time in Japan and what you want to walk away with.
Eighteen holes at a carefully chosen course near Tokyo — Mt. Fuji views or a classic members’ club — played the Japanese way, with Tats as your host and fourth.
On-course coaching from a PGA and TPI-certified professional. Strategy, short game and, if you want, a look at your numbers with modern launch technology.
For industry guests: a round that doubles as the best meeting you’ll have in Japan. Market insight, introductions and conversation, from the first tee to the last toast.
For travellers who want the real thing — not a tourist tee time — with a local pro who handles the language, the customs and every detail.
For brands, executives and media looking at Japan and Asia-Pacific. Eighteen holes with someone who has helped companies enter this market.
From desert fairways in Arizona to members’ clubs in Chiba: a life spent inside the game, and the people met along the way.
Tell Tats who you are, when you’re in Japan and the kind of round you have in mind.
He selects the course, format and tee time, and confirms every detail with you personally.
Transport, rental clubs and etiquette are taken care of. You simply arrive ready to play.
Eighteen holes, lunch at the turn, the bath after — and a friend in Japanese golf.
Rounds are limited and arranged one by one. Share a few details and Tats will reply personally.
