Uncovering the Secrets of Japanese Golf Culture | A Change of Course

[@evanrosswilliams]

Irrespective of subject matter, this is an absolute masterpiece of a video. Cinematography, editing, blend of narrative, content and eye candy, sound design, pacing… just exquisite. Bravo.

[@nickkotsify]

quite right

[@Gera_Taraman]

Thanks! It's cool that they put the credits on the director's Instagram, at least, haha.

[@cjmurata7624]

I’m a Japanese golfer from Tokyo. I’m glad you guys took the time to film this beautiful documentary. It’s sad to see the ZOZO championship go but I hope the PGA tour comes back to Japan sometime!

[@manorsgolf]

❤

[@nicoyap14]

there's still next year right?

[@Fullstackねこ]

@@nicoyap14 Unfortunately no. It is 5 years contract to host Zozo champ in Japan and this was the last year.

[@gzr3000]

Resources for ZOZO not being part of FedEx Fall in 2025?

[@BinhTran-sakmygouch]

The final scene where you speak about picking up the leaf is a testament that you get it....what it's all about....what Japan stands for....the culture, respect, and beauty that the country and the people has to offer. I applaud everything that has been out together here, and I hope more content like this will be created for more people to benefit from.

[@Shermaineium]

This feels very "Adventures in Golf" to me and in the best way possible. I love that series and the behind the scenes look at golf around the world. The courses, the culture and the people who make it all happen.

[@robertyates9331]

I think this is the best bit of golf content I’ve seen on KZbin so far

[@manorsgolf]

🥰

[@wildes_]

you guys set the bar high for yourselves on this one.... well done. Please keep this up. It's exactly the exposure the PGA TOUR needs for the changing nature of the game in these modern times. Progressive, but traditional.

[@Naomi-pw3hy]

I am a Japanese golfer who started during pandemic. This video is a great introduction of Japanese golf culture. Among Japanese golfers, etiquette and respect are the most important part of golf in my opinion. I love the last words in this video.

[@thedognutritionist]

we need to get these guys exploring more amazing golf territories, so interesting

[@jsmallsawe]

If you haven't already, you should check out the series "Adventures in Golf" from Erik Anders Lang and the Random Golf Club. It's like this and is fantastic!

[@jackhsue1297]

I'm an avid golfer, passionate about the sport. Japan's golf culture draws me back annually. Your showcase of Japan's golf community is fantastic! You've beautifully highlighted the country's unique blend of tradition, respect, discipline and harmony with nature. Japan's attention to detail, even in waste management, is inspiring. The world can learn valuable lessons from Japan's dedication to preserving its culture and environment. Japan warmly welcomes visitors but requests respect for its values and traditions.😊

[@dontpanic716]

I really liked the analogy the Sushi chef made about learning by watching being similar to golf.

[@Shepard-Thomas]

Mr. Guillot, this video is outstanding. You’ve captured not just the moments of your trip, but also conveyed the deeper meanings behind them. My only issue is that I wasn’t invited!

[@sward7]

What a beautiful video and a stunning advert for Japanese culture. Manors dont miss

[@wahlvisiongolf]

these "A Change of Course" episodes is poetry, please make a million more.

[@tuckergaskins]

One of the best golf vids I've ever seen. Love the progress from the PGA TOUR's social media team

[@CreateUrExperiences]

Japan is the best place in the world. The culture, the people and all around just the land. This did it great justice

[@hpt164]

This is absolutely incredible lads. The finest grade on any golfing content. Gorgeous stuff. Keep it coming

[@jeanglod]

Just beautiful❤️ the best golf content I’ve seen in a while. Keep it up.

[@CowEdarngEighty]

One of the best short documentary yet. I thought Shogun was pretty good but I think you have exceeded expectations. Thank for sharing the love and looking forward for more inspiration from your show

[@NEETTEEN10]

海外から入ってきたゴルフという文化が日本ならではの進化を得てイギリスやアメリカの人達に再評価されてるのが嬉しい

[@twoplustwo7316]

That last scene… never thought a golf video could move me to tears but it did. Every trip to Japan leave me with thought-provoking epiphanies that move me in such big ways.

[@Hospey]

one of the best golf films I've watched. beautiful way to introduce the culture!

[@GolfHeadz]

This is a great video and we need more of this!

[@Munro_96]

Sensational. Love what James and the Manors team are doing for golf!

[@manorsgolf]

The trip of a lifetime for team MANORS ✈🗾

[@RichBoyWinstonStraightVibin]

I'd never really considered wearing Manors before - but if this is what the brand is about it's completely changed my mind.

[@manorsgolf]

@@RichBoyWinstonStraightVibin Incredibly kind - we are delighted that the content resonated with you. We look forward to sharing more adventures

[@RichBoyWinstonStraightVibin]

@@manorsgolf hopefully I can be part of one hehe

[@patkanji7173]

Couldn’t put this video down this was beautiful to watch and learn thank you

[@GlobalIn2015]

Can't believe how much I love this piece of film. Edited incredibly well, lovely cinematography, clear, informative and calming narration. Absolutely adore this - honestly, just well done to everyone involved.

[@yehoshuaC]

This is far and away the best video this channel has ever released.

[@Lathund3]

Very well done! My love for Japan is even stronger after this one 💪🏼. Can’t wait to live there one day and play golf!

[@richardcowley1988]

Beautifully filmed and narrated, I love Japan and you have done it justice 🙏🏻

[@sookong]

23:42 pretty much sums it all up. Well done

[@philclark7346]

Best film on golf I have seen on You Tube or any other media outlets for a very long time . Your description of the lady picking the leaf up of the astro turf and your emotion shown was just beautiful. Well done on a great documentary and it's one of my dreams to retire to Japan and this short film has only strengthened my thoughts of a great country.

[@shun.h.197]

What a video!! You guys highlighted Japanese golf culture very well! Thank you for coming to Japan. This is amazing.

[@SamofMalaysia]

One of the best golf story on KZbin. Wonderfully done!

[@bigomondis104]

Can we have Manors shoot more content for the PGA? This was shot and presented so well, with much respect to the local golf culture.

[@onkelsort5381]

What a production!! Thaaank you!

[@king_clueless]

What a wonderful video! I'm getting golf feeds because my son started playing and was looking clubs for kids. Then this pops up and being a Japanophile I thought I'd check it out. Wow! Amazing work guys, such a great documentary 💪🙌🤗

[@adrzamora]

Great production and story telling, loved the documentary!

[@danielsanderson9325]

fantastic watch got me itching for some Japanese golf!

[@ryangia7609]

This is so moving, more content like this pls!

[@dontpanic716]

Fun video. I dont find enough Japan golf content and I really would like to see more of the country and the courses.

[@shaneh2289]

Love this vid! I traveled to Japan a year ago for the first time, and the experience he told at the end describes the country beautifully. I would have loved to have moved there when I was younger. I cannot wait to go back and bring my clubs

[@alexandrenguyen_]

Wonderful documentary, amazingly written, directed ! Well done !

[@simmo5071]

[@user-fn4my3tx2r]

I really hope we see more of this :)

[@alexames2]

Agreed

[@slashaXD]

I was luckily able to play narashino just a couple of weeks before the Zozo Championship. It was my first time playing golf in Japan and it was a bit of a culture shock compared to playing golf in Canada. Such an experience! Cant wait to play golf in Japan again!

[@alan4019]

what an amazing video about golf and japan, but just in general too

[@Tom_Swift]

Great video. Japanese culture really is the best. There's a lot to admire from them. I really wish people over here in North America would learn from this, respect.

[@closer2theheart684]

What an incredible journey that was.

[@rogeryee5294]

I love Japan. I hope to play golf there someday. Great expose on golf in Japan. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@fatseaturtle]
