I married a Japanese woman, we go once a year with our kids. It is such an amazing country, but I always thought it would be hard to add golf into a trip, especially a family trip. I wanted to give unsolicited advice: it is not.

Japan has amazing golf courses, but I couldn't imagine lugging a bag on the trip. And renting clubs sucks. Last time I went, I discovered they have courrier services that take your clubs from the airport to your hotel or directly to the course, then ship them back so they’re waiting for you at the airport when you leave. For about $20.

As for courses, I played Kawana Fuji Course last time, and that’s the one I’d put at the top of the list if you’re trying to build a golf day into a Japan itinerary. Very easy from either Tokyo or Kyoto and one of the coolest golf experiences I’ve had anywhere. Cliffside holes, wild elevation changes, old-school routing, and amazing views. The caddie experience is phenomenal as well.

Anyways, I know no one asked, but I felt the need to share.

We just got our son an Apple Watch. Does anyone have any tips for how to configure it? It's set up on a family plan, but with his Apple Account.

Is there a way to allow texting, but not group texting?

And secondarily, with our setup, we can't see to get Spotify installed. Is that really not possible??

Thank you in advance!

I'm writing an article for a golf publication about Bandon Dunes. My lede is about how people rank the courses after their first trip vs their xth trip. I could use some market research though! Two questions:

- How did you rank the courses after your first visit?

- If you've been more than once, how has that ranking changed?

And a third related question:

- Does anyone rank Sheep Ranch first? I've yet to find someone.
