Ron Chopper in Japan Interview
Catch up with the boys — a full squad this week with KC, Damon, Ryan, and Pro Joe — plus a special interview with Ron Chopper and Joel!
We kick things off by learning what “joints” are on Japanese golf courses. DJ and Ryan share their experience at Club Gazan in Gunma, just 50 minutes from Tokyo and absolutely worth a visit. Kyoto also gets a healthy shout-out.
Was the Baycurrent a little light on punters? Despite an amazing line-up, a deserving winner, and a killer location, the boys break down what might have happened. And what’s going on with LIV these days? KC floats a big idea: why not combine the DP World Tour and LIV to create a truly competitive alternative to the PGA TOUR?
From 45:40 onwards, enjoy the mobile interview with Australian big man and golf creator Ron Chopper — the legend, the myth, the T-shirt! Why is he in Japan, and what did he and Joel get up to? How did he get into golf YouTube, and could he actually play professionally in Japan?
