Updates from Japan・日本でゴルフ
Hi, hope you’re all having a good summer!
I want to first apologize for not updating the blog frequently. My keypad on my laptop broke and with moving, practicing, adjusting to Japan, I had a hard time securing time to sit and write.
A lot has happened since the last post- first, I didn’t make it past 2nd stage of pro test in Japan :( It was really disappointing because I didn't play well at all, and when I think about it now, I really didn't prepare for it the way I wanted to. I turned professional in May, and ever since then, I feel like I had too much going on and was never fully focused on the "present." I think the hardest thing about becoming a professional athlete is dealing with uncertainty. I think it's different if you already have status on some tour and have a set schedule, but as for now, I am trying to get status for the following season, so nothing is really set. I remember complaining about uncertain schedule with college golf, but it's much worse after turning professional. I think I just need to roll with it and enjoy the thrill. Plus, Japan is beautiful no matter where I go:)
After the professional test, I was busy for a week getting grounded- like getting residency, license, etc. Just really trying to adjust to this new life in Japan. This country is very different from the U.S., but I really do love the culture and just everything about it. It's a little challenging to find places to practice golf in Japan, but ironically, I feel as if my game has gotten much better since I started practicing in Japan. Very weird lol
Yesterday I played in a qualifier for the Japanese Women's Open, and even though I didn't qualify, I can see how my scoring average is trending for the better. Just a few more steps. I feel really confident about the changes I'm making right now:)
Thank you to all the amazing people who keep sending me words of encouragements, you guys are the reason why I want to keep working harder even when things may seem a little hard for now.
My laptop is still broken, so my posts may be a little infrequent, but I will do my best to keep you guys in the loop!
Thanks always:)
更新が遅くなってしまいすいません（汗）
いそがしさやラップトップの不調に見舞われアップデートするのに時間がかかってしまいました！実は、今もキーボードの調子が本当に悪いので、のちほど和訳を載せさせていただきます。英訳をグーグル・トランスレートで訳してしまうのもありです！
ごめいわくをおかけします。
でも、この一か月間、本当にたくさんの方に励ましのメッセージを頂き、日本に慣れない私に色々伝授してくださるかたもいらっしゃったのでこの場でお礼をさせていただきます。本当にありがとうございます！私、がんばります！
みなさんも、この暑い夏を、力強くのりきってください★
