Heat FM *Sport Beat* 第二回：ヨーロッパのコース事情

 4月23日の放送、ご視聴いただけましたでしょうか？

放した内容は以下になります。

I. スコットランドでのゴルフ事情

A. St. Andrews Golf Club：世界一古いゴルフコース

B. Ladies European Tour (欧州女子）がスコットランドで開催される場所は

    i. Trust Golf Women's Scottish Open

    ii. AIG Women's Open (全英女子オープン）

        - 2022年の全英はMuirfieldにて開催されました。Muirfieldはとても女性に閉鎖的でしら   れる故に、女子オープンをこのコースで開くのはビッグ・ニュースとして取り上げられました

        - 2023年の全英はWalton Heath, England

II. ヨーロッパのゴルフ事情

A. イギリス、スコットランド、スカンジナビア半島は低い気候と風の影響もあり、リンクスが多い。

    i. 北の試合に出る選手は低弾道のショットの練習に力を入れる

    ii. イギリスのクラブハウスは歴史がある建物の可能性大

        - 去年、私がイギリスで出場した試合はBrocket Hallという1700年代に建てられた建築物の周りにゴルフ場が建設してありました。

B. スペイン、イタリア

        - 地域によってコースのスタイルが変わります。

            北：ツリーラインの多い青々としたコース

            南：パームツリーが生えていたりして広めのフェアウェイ。バミューダグリーンが                    多い

C.スイス・フランス

        - 山岳コースが多く、エビアンなどが代表的。

        - 電動の手引きカートが重宝します。

III. ゴルフ場のレストラン事情

ヨーロッパはいつもスループレイ（合間に食事をしません）

            - アメリカにはフード・カートがありますが、ヨーロッパではそんなにありませ                 ん。

            ‐ 個人的に一番印象に残っているスペインのゴルフ場の料理は黒澄で真っ黒に染ま                 ったバレンシア地方特有のパエリアでした。


IV. ヨーロッパの名門コース

名門コースはどこの国も入りづらく、代々会員権が受け継がれるところが多いです。

            - ドレスコードは日本ほど厳しくありません。＞大抵、プール・テニスコート・パ                デルコートがあるので、来場者もゴルフ目的、すなわちゴルフウエアとは限りません。

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
