At the tournament, I was deeply moved by the opportunity to watch the talented young golfers play up close .
The member girls also played an active role! They gave mini golf-themed English lessons and interviewed the players in English, asking them about their golf goals and experiences. We had a very fulfilling time.
First, we'll take a closer look at how the two cute 🩷 member girls supported the tournament and made the day even more memorable.
First, we started with the tournament check-in!
Together with the FE staff, the member girls welcomed the elementary school golfers arriving at the venue with warm smiles, greeted them in English, guided them to the reception area, and assisted them in preparing for the tournament.
最初は大会のチェックイン！
メンバーガールとFEスタッフで会場に到着した小学生ゴルファーたちを温かい笑顔で迎え、英語で朝のご挨拶、受付へと案内、大会の準備ができるようサポートするところから始まりました。
Once everyone had arrived, it was time for orientation.
Led by the FE staff and our two member girls, we held a short but lively mini-lesson on practical golf English.
We introduced common English phrases used in golf and taught the players how to use them during actual play.
全員が到着すると、オリエンテーションの時間が始まりました。
FEスタッフと私たちの2名のメンバーが中心となり、短くも活気ある、実践的なゴルフ英語のミニレッスンを行いました。
ゴルフでよく使われる英語のフレーズを紹介し、実際のプレー中にどのように使うかを教えました。
Here are the phrases we introduced:
これらのフレーズは以下の通りです
1. Good lie いいライ
2. Have a good game! 良いラウンドにしましょう！
3. It's my turn. 私の番です
4. I'm in the sand. バンカーだわ
5. Aim left/right 左/右を狙う
6. It's into the wind. 風の向き イントゥウインドウ
7. Who goes first? どっちが先に打ちますか？
8. I'll go ahead. お先に失礼します
9. Awesome! 最高！
10. Nice Shot! いいショット!
After the FE English orientation, the young golfers began a practice session with professional golfers.
They received valuable advice and guidance in preparation for the tournament.
During this time, our member girls conducted interviews in English, giving them a chance to get closer to the players.
They asked questions such as how long the children had been playing golf, who their favorite professional golfers were, and which part of the game they enjoyed most—driving, chipping, or putting.
Listening to the children interact, we were delighted to see that although the players usually live in a Japanese-speaking environment, they were making a sincere effort to speak and listen in English during the interviews.
Many of the players had started golf as soon as they could hold a club, and most said that driving was their favorite part of the game.
Through these interviews, our members had a wonderful opportunity to connect with the players and experience their passion for golf up close.
FE英語オリエンテーションの後、若いゴルファーたちはプロゴルファーによる練習セッションを開始。
大会に向けた貴重なアドバイスや指導を受けました。
その中で、私たちのメンバーガールが英語でインタビューを行い、ゴルファーたちとより親しくなる機会を持ちました。
子供達には、ゴルフを始めてどのくらいになるか、好きなプロゴルファーは誰か、そしてゲームの中でどの部分が一番好きか
（ドライビング、チッピング、パッティング）などの質問をしました。
子供達のやりとりを聞きながら、選手の皆様は普段は日本語での暮らしではありますが、こちらに合わせて一生懸命英語を話し、聞く練習をしている姿を見せてくれました。とても嬉しかったです。
選手の多くは、クラブを握れるようになったころからゴルフを始めており、ほとんどの子がドライビングが一番好きだと答えてくれました。
このインタビューを通して、私たちのメンバーも選手の皆様と繋がりを持てる素晴らしい機会を得ることができ、彼らのゴルフへの情熱を間近で感じることができました。
When practice time ended, the junior golfers took on the driving, chipping, and putting competitions.
It was an exciting moment for all of us as well!
The member girls had the important role of introducing the players in English during the driving competition, and they carried out their duties admirably.
As the players appeared, applause filled the venue, showing how warmly everyone was welcomed.
The member girls holding the microphones did an excellent job of boosting the golfers' morale and creating a positive, energetic atmosphere.
