Carefully check the swing form while having the video shot on your mobile phone. Even after finishing the 18th hole, he worked hard to drive.

Other players adjusted in the same way, but the driving range was closed at 6 pm. As the time limit approached, I went home one by one. Still, Shibuno kept swinging the driver silently until the end.

The first day of the day before the opening was 7:40 am, which was an early start time, but even if the sleep time was cut down a little, I felt like I was just barely at sunset. “I have time to practice until I’m satisfied. The environment is very good, so I hope I can do as much as I can.”

Domestic tour since last November. It’s Korona-ka, but I’m sure there was a story about accumulating with female professional friends and related people who I met after a long time. Still, she prioritized digging into her own “golf road.”

From this season, he has shifted his focus to the US tour, but in Japan he has won six tours and won a lifetime prize of 231,168,689 yen. Including the contract money with the sponsor, it seems that they have already achieved great success. However, the two letters “satisfied” do not seem to be in the mind of the 23-year-old.

At the end of the driving range, while the ball collection started, I hit the “last one ball” several times.

Two weeks later, the “real” last ball didn’t seem to convince Shibuno to the overseas major “US Women’s Open” (Pine Needles Lodge & GC, North Carolina), but it went forward step by step. Seems to be out. (Editorial department, Mitsuru Tamaki)
