START PLAYING GOLF vol.1 Golf Etcetera Starting at U30.

We hear a lot these days about young people going to play golf. Although the distance between golf and fashion has come a lot closer in the past year, it is also true that there is still an image that the hurdles seem to be high. Perhaps you can find out by getting out on the course.

What is your passion for golf gear?

Matsunokawa:I had been looking for this bag from Nike Golf for a long time and finally found it, but it was falling apart. It was a disappointment.

Hara:You say that since Nike clubs are no longer being made, their value has increased.

Matsunokawa:. It seems so. I first bought used Nike clubs, so I decided to match my shoes and bag with Nike as well.

Hara:At first I was given a set of beginner clubs to use, but last month I bought a full set and replaced them with men's ones.

Matsunokawa:Heh! Did it get better after all when you changed it?

Hara:I feel much better now. Since I changed my clubs, I have been able to shoot under 100, and I realized how important it is to have the right clubs for me.

Matsunokawa:It's amazing to be under 100.

The potential is amazing. . I see that the choice of gear makes a big difference.

Hara:I am 170 cm tall, so clubs for ladies are too short or too light, and I end up hitting the ball with my hands. So, I was advised to change to men's clubs, which are a little heavier, so I can swing using the centrifugal force of my body.

Matsunokawa:. It's interesting how one club can make all the difference. I borrowed a friend's club and swung with it, and it improved a lot.

Hara:There is, isn't there (laughs).

What attracts you to golf?

Matsunokawa:The golf course is spacious and pleasant. . It is exhilarating to be able to play in a wide open space surrounded by nature. Also, each person has his or her own particular way of choosing gear, so it's fun to talk about it.

Hara:It's nice because it's not easy to get in touch with this kind of vast nature when you live in the city. It's nice to be able to experience something out of the ordinary, or to feel like you're on a short trip. It's also great that I can do this sport no matter how old I am.

Matsunokawa:That's possible. And even if there is a difference in age, we can do it with a handicap in the rules.

Hara:It's nice to be able to do that with anyone.

Matsunokawa:I would like to do it over drinks , or even play golf abroad.

Hara:That's so nice, I adore it ,!
