エキサイティングなインタビューブログシリーズの新しい回へようこそ。「ゴルフジャーニー」では、情熱あふれるゴルファーたちの物語と、グリーンでの冒険を深く掘り下げます。魅力的な 5つの質問のインタビュー、私たちはゴルフが人生にもたらす喜び、仲間意識、そしてインスピレーションを称えたいと考えています。
今回のインタビューでは、新しいゲストをご紹介できることを大変うれしく思います。その人こそ Jordan Borad, the vintage golf fashion aficionado behind @vintagegolfwear, an Instagram account dedicated to celebrating the players and their fashion choices.
1- Hi Jordan, how were you first introduced to golf?
Like any kid, I’d grab my dad’s clubs and fool around with them in the backyard. My brother and I would play chipping games. Golf was never a sport I gave my full attention to. I grew up playing baseball, hockey, and, basketball. Everything changed when I was 15. My stepmother started taking golf classes in college. I’d join her sometimes and that’s where I caught the golf bug. It’s been a lifetime journey ever since.
2- ゴルファーにはコースでの独自のルーティンやジンクスがあるものです。欠かせない一風変わったプレー前の習慣や、お守りはありますか？
I don’t have too many quirky things I do or rituals during a round of golf. That being said, I do enjoy a few cocktails before a round of golf. Some people like to save their drinking until the 19th hole. I’m not out there to break any records, so why not enjoy myself? Salud!
3- Lambda Golf では、ゴルフへの愛とゴルフがもたらす喜びを大切にしています。コースで起きた心温まるエピソードや、おもしろい出来事を教えてください。
I always enjoyed playing golf with my Papoo. He was a great golfer. I learned so many things from him. The way he dressed on the course was impeccable! Razor sharp pleats, cashmere sweaters, and of course great golf shoes. He would have loved a pair of Lambda golf shoes! I still can hear him whisper, “Let the club do the work。”
4- Every golfer has a “dream” golfing destination. If you could play a round of golf anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why?
My dream golf destination would be Augusta National Golf Club. I’ve read so many books about Augusta and the Masters Tournament, that I feel it’s a part of me. I was fortunate to go to the Masters in 2005 and it only made the addiction worse. The only thing missing is letting me hack it around Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts masterpiece.
5- その特別な体験のために、Lambda Golf のどのモデルを選びますか？
Strutting around Augusta National would only be proper in a pair of Lambda Roma Black Diamond golf shoes.
ボーナス質問：自分のために夢のゴルフシューズをデザインできるとしたら、どんな特徴にしますか？自由に想像をふくらませてください！
I’m a big Doug Sanders fan, so my dream pair of Lambdas would definitely need some color in them. I’m thinking of a medley of pink and lavender. With some sort of black lizard sprinkled in. I’m thinking of a “Varenna Pink, Lavender & Black.”
Thank you, Jordan!
