As golf.com reported, Ryo kind of whaled away with his driver while the other two were taking more measured shots, mostly with their irons, but he got the result he needed, and more power to him.

And aren't those plaid pants adorable?

(Especially compared to the his-and-hers ensemble in a…

And my other comments aside, I heartily agree--what better learning opportunity for a young golfer than to be teamed with the sport's greatest player on one of its most challenging courses??

Well I'm sure this will do wonders for poor Ryo-kun's nerves... Gee, do you think they could've upped the pressure a bit more??

They should've given this role to Kenichi Matsuyama, though he might be a bit too old for it now. He does brooding and moody better than any young actor out there these days.

Tokyo's tap water tastes perfectly fine, but you never know, so I use a Brita filter pitcher and just refill the same two or three 500ml PET bottles from it for convenience (washing them from time to time).

A lot of misconceptions floating around here.

The 'Shiseido Men' line of "cosmetics" are skin-care products, not makeup, and most of the so-called "soshokukei" guys I know (most the Japanese guys I know, period) wouldn't think of wearing makeup.

I like the series by Yorifuji--not too preachy, catchy graphics, and the English is usually spot-on, too.

Until recently, I have never had a problem with a Sony laptop, and I've been through three of them. They're a little more expensive, but performance-wise and in terms of durability, they've proven more cost-effective over the long run.
