Visit Par 3 any Thursday evening and you’re likely to see over 25 kids putting and laughing with friends thanks to Yokota Golf’s PGA Jr. League team. The program can be found at many golf courses across the U.S., but Yokota’s team, the Fuji Flyers, is the first PGA Jr. League of America established overseas. During practice, students are encouraged to spread out and play with teammates while PGA coaches Patrick Bowman and Jim Shaw roam the course and give pointers to students — a lesson format structured enough to teach yet loose enough to
keep participants having fun. The young golfers learn a lot too. Many had no prior golf experience but now look like semi-pros out on the course. Some have even achieved birdies — an impressive feat even for professional golfers. Most PGA Jr. League teams compete regionally for the chance to make it to the U.S. Championship game but, with no U.S. teams nearby, Yokota Golf has teamed up with PGA Jr. League of Japan to play against local Japanese teams. Kids, parents and
INTERESTED IN JOINING THE TEAM? Cost is just $69 for the season and includes weekly lessons, free green fees and a bucket of balls a day at Par 3 and Tama Hills Golf Course. For more information, email TamaHillsGolf@ gmail.com or call 224-3426.
coaches alike speak highly of the matches as the young athletes learn sportsmanship and teamwork while increasing their cultural awareness — not to mention the technical instructions they receive from PGA pros. Although the aspiring golfers play competitively, the atmosphere is similar to a friendly scrimmage as they high five and clap for their competitor’s success.
NOH PERFORMANCE “Sumidagawa” — Sound of Prayer Cradled in Sorrow

Sign-up starts at 10 a.m. on Saturday, 5 January at ITT.
Experience the traditional Japanese Noh theater. Performances originate from the 14th century and typically include music, dance and drama. Plots draw from legend, history, literature and contemporary events.
227-7083 • Bldg. 327 Visit YokotaFSS.com/ITT for more information.
The play begins once the ornately dressed actors walk from a connecting bridge to the modest, square stage. During the show, pay close attention to the performers’ slow movements, poetic language and calm tone. Sumidagawa tells the story of a mother’s search for her son after his kidnapping by slave traders. When the mother happens upon her son’s grave, she recites “Nembutsu” — a Japanese Buddhist prayer chant. During her chant, the son appears in ghost form. The mother tries to embrace him but with dawn, he disappears. Join ITT to enjoy this classic story about a mother’s love for her child.

AERO CLUB/FLIGHT TRAINING CENTER (FTC)
Aviation instructors are the key to aviation safety. Flight instructors are the general aviation safety gate keepers. When aviation instructors emphasize safe practices in aviation, it tends to have a long-lasting effect on students. A WINGS instructor should be a role model who sets high expectations in regards to safety. They should instruct beyond the minimum standard and set the example in aeronautical decision making, starting at the before-flight briefing and following through to the debriefing.
Nagano Jigokudani Monkey Park
Tours Available in Jan & Feb Join ITT to observe the lifestyle of wild Japanese macaques, or snow monkeys, at Jigokudani Monkey Park. Established in 1964, the park is located in the valley of Shiga Kogen — an area known for its snowy climate. The monkeys at Jigokundani are often caught attempting to escape the cold by relaxing in natural hot springs. Interact with the monkeys as they play and dip in the warm baths. A truly unique experience you don’t want to miss.
