I'm surprised how engaged I got with all the matches and genuinely cheering for Eve and hoping she could get out of her bad circumstances with her family. The stakes of them losing their only home gave what could easily feel like repetitive golf matches the necessary tension. With the addition of her beginning to reach higher and care for her craft Eve was given plenty to work with as a character. Gave her some good depth.
The characters definitely are the highlight of this show. They're all very charming with unique, eye catching designs. Golf clothes are typically stereotypically ugly in things so it was fun to see the actual types of designs that professional golfers would wear. Well, for the ones who were normal golfers anyways. As much as I liked Vipere she is an outlier clothing wise lol.
I also went into this not expecting it to be angling towards yuri, I hope it continues in that direction as I loved Eve and Aoi's friends/rivals relationship and would love to see it get expanded on more.
My only real complaint is that the first season feels like half a season. It ends really abruptly and at a strange point that feels like it should be midseason rising tension. I haven't had a chance to watch the second season yet but if it ends the arc successfully I'll probably boost this first season up to a 9.
Edit: Season 2 is a hot mess, score adjusted accordingly.
