LETAS: Burgos and Lauro



Week 1: October 14-16, Santander Golf Tour Lerma 

Live-Scoring Lerma

67-71-73 (-5, T13) 

Definitely the best finish I've had in a long time. We played in Lerma Golf, an hour north of Madrid. The course was wide and had big greens, and the greens were rolling at a speed of 12 or above for all three days. The conditions were great, and I was thoroughly grateful I got to play there. I was hitting the ball really well, hitting almost all greens the entire week, and it was really great because the greens were so pure that the ball was rolling consistently with where I intended. 

Week 2: October 20-22, Santander Golf Tour Lauro

Live-Scoring

84, 78 (+18, cut)

Unlike the course at Lerma, Lauro Golf was tighter. I really liked the layout and I hit 11 and 13 greens for the two days, but could not make many putts on the green. But I felt like I was rolling the ball well, so I am not too worried. I've been focusing more on my long game lately but this event made me realize the importance of shortgame once again. For my upcoming Santander event, I want to work more on my putting and wedge shots. 


I am extremely grateful for LET Access for carrying on with the events at a difficult time with COVID, very thankful for Santander Golf Tour for their continued support for women's golf, and for Lerma Golf and Lauro Golf for hosting us.

LaceLocker and 2019 Tournaments

First and foremost, happy new year!! Hope 2019 is filled with joy and success for all of you guys! As of me, I am back in Florida getting ready to compete in two Eggland events, and am definitely enjoying the warmer weather than what I’ve been experiencing in Japan. (But apparently the winter in Japan wasn’t as bad this year compared to the usual.) I am writing this blogpost to announce LaceLocker®️ as my first sponsorship as I pursue my LPGA dream! I am very grateful for the opportunity they have given me, and love having them on my team. I met their executive director, Carol ‘Stash’ Stanley when I was still at UVA, and I just really can’t thank her enough for her generosity and more than anything, her belief in my game.  I  definitely had times when I questioned myself as I decided to turn professional and continue playing, but I decided to put all worries aside and just believe in the process and myself, because so many people, like Stash, encouraged me and believed in m

Little about me, my goals, and purpose/ まほです！よろしくお願いします！

Hi, for those of you that don't know me, I'd like to give you a little introduction of myself. My name is Maho Hayakawa, I am a Japanese golfer playing tournaments around the world. I moved to Dubai when I was 7, and that's where I started playing golf with my family. I was lucky I got to continue playing the game; I moved to Japan and Mexico after I left Dubai, but both countries had good golfing environment (less so in Japan) and I was able to continue competing. I spent 2 years of high school at the Mike Bender Golf Academy in Lake Mary, Fl, training with Mike Bender. I just graduated from University of Virginia where I played on the golf team, and I turned professional right after I graduated, in 2018. For the past year and a half, I've been competing in Eggland's Golf Tour, Cactus Tour, Japan Ladies Circuit, and Japanese ATP tournaments. My goal is to play on a Ladies Professional Tour, and as of October 2018, I am preparing to play the 2020 LET Q

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 mu
