Ota, the Authentic Casual Sales Manager on the 7th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , experienced the "Course Debut Experience," a beginner-friendly lesson hosted by the Isetan Golf School "Swing" located on the rooftop of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building and said that it "has motivated him to practice more." He will be selecting the wear and shoes he will wear for the practical "9-Hole Private Lesson" scheduled for July at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , 7th floor.

The styling theme is "Understatement x Functionality".

—Have you been practicing at the school lately?
I've been practicing hard with the Ota swing. I've been practicing my approach shots and putting, and now I can hit the ball about 200 yards with my driver.

—What have you noticed from practicing so much?
Ota is interesting, but the point is that you can't play golf unless you've mastered the basics. You have to focus on getting the club into the correct position rather than just swinging, otherwise everything becomes "formless."

—What did you learn from the previous course debut experience session ?
In Ota Kendo, you can defeat your opponent by putting in "guts" and "spirit" in the end, but golf is a very different kind of mental sport, played on such a wide field, where you focus on a small ball and only believe in yourself.


--I see. So today you're looking for an outfit for your course debut in July, right?
Ota: Yes. In late July, we'll have a private 9-hole lesson at "Swing," which will be a real course debut. However, there is a dress code for playing golf, which is a gentleman's sport. This time, I'd like to create a styling based on the theme of "understatement x functionality" from the authentic casual section on the 7th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building which I'm in charge of.

—So, it's about "understated" clothing and shoes that are also functional, right?
Ota: It's not the typical golf wear, but rather a coordinated outfit that allows you to express your individuality while still adhering to the dress code. Starting with the right look is very important, so I'll choose a style that "makes me look like I can break 100."

Next, we'll start selecting our apparel right away!
