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