Plot
Gawain Nanaumi, a young boy living in the rural mountains, possesses exceptional physical strength and a passion for hitting balls as far as possible, originally through baseball. His life changes when he meets Kiria Nishino, a visitor who introduces him to golf, a sport that immediately captivates him after a single shot. He recognizes his natural talent, particularly his extraordinary driving distance and keen observational skills, which were shaped by his upbringing. Kiria helps Gawain travel to Tokyo and enroll at Camelot Academy, a prestigious school for elite and aspiring golfers from around the world. There, Gawain pursues his dream of becoming the world's greatest professional golfer, confronting rival prodigies with unique abilities and facing a series of competitive trials that test his raw talent, growth, and determination.
