Every year at "Shigeo Nagashima Invitational SEGASAMMY Cup Golf Tournament", many of the Hokkaido's local elementary schools receives a precious visit from the top professional athletes called "Junior Sports Festival." Many Olympians like Medalist swimmer teaches swimming to the students and so forth. And on the 20th, top professional golfer made a visit to the Sakuragi Elementary School in Chitose City.

AKA "Gen-chan", Ryuko Tokimatsu made the visit and taught 51 6 Grade students how to have fun with golf by using "SNAG Golf".

Ryuko Tokimatsu made his first victory in 2016, and has been making 3 victories in total, but it was his first time to play with "SNAG Golf". He struggled at first, but soon got used to it and showed the students the joy of golf and also his methods for mental training as well.

He told them that to have a dream is an excellent thing and it's worth fighting for. He also told why he seems to be always calm.
"I always try not to panic at any moment."

After the golfing fun, students asked for autographs which "Gen-chan" kindly offered, and he concluded the lesson by saying "I may not have a long-distance stroke, but I fight with accuracy. I hope all of you will see the real hot contention going on at the tournament this week."

The Northern Country GC is known for thick rough and top speed greens.
"If you miss the fairways, it's tough to just save par."
Ryuko has already took a glance at the course and has his tactics planned. In 2017, he has lost against Yuta Ikeda in Playoffs, so he is eager for the revenge.
"If I could keep the ball on fairways, I could go dead for the pin and make birdie chances."

He smiled quietly as always, buy has the hot esteem inside him and promised the students to do his best.
