About Me

Michael Tomoya-Smith

Currently based at Umesato Country Club in the Yokohama area, I have been teaching golf for the last 20 years (15 years in Japan).

I started playing golf in Australia at the age of 5 and it has been my passion ever since. I have competed at the Junior, Amateur and Professional level. In my travels, I have been fortunate to have learned my skills from some of the very best players and instructors worldwide.

I am a TPI Certified and U.S. Kids Golf Certified coach, and I am fluent in both English and Japanese. I am also a qualified Titleist fitting specialist and can assist you with club fitting at our dedicated fitting studio at Umesato Country Club.

Let me help you improve your game with what I’ve learned!
