Golf Competition for NUCB International College's G10 cohort

2023/07/24 Mon #press_release

At the end of June, first-year high school students at NUCB International College (NIC) held a golf competition at the Homi Golf Club (Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture). All students at NIC learn to play golf in physical education classes under the guidance of golf teaching professional Shui Tateura. This golf tournament was the culmination of the year's activities and the students enjoyed playing on a real course while testing their skills.

Tateura is a golfer from Aichi Prefecture who has been active both in Japan and abroad, participating in national tournaments, the Volvik Japan-Korea tournament and the youngest-ever appearance in the Golf5 Ladies Professional Tournament. This wealth of experience is put to good use at NIC, where she is in charge of PE classes.

　As all the students at NIC were golf beginners when they first enrolled, Tateura put special emphasis on the acquisition of basic skills and swing formation. Through close observation of professional moves and detailed advice on their own moves, the students gradually developed their golfing skills. A student who took part in the golf tournament this time said, "I always thought I wasn't good at sports, but today I was surprised that I could hit good shots and even take first place." 'I usually practice at the driving range on campus, so my first time on the golf course was a bit confusing. I want to be able to adapt my game to different situations." Ms Tateura, also commented: 'It's amazing that in one year they have all grown to the point where they can all play on the golf course, given that they are all beginners and are being taught simultaneously to a large group of people." She praised the students for their efforts.

　NIC offers a variety of unique educational activities. By being exposed to a wide variety of experiences alongside their peers, students are able to broaden and deepen their future way of life and perspectives. By developing flexible thinking and a rich sensibility through their educational experiences at the school, NIC aims at nurturing global leaders of tomorrow.
