A kid discovers golf by accident and immediately becomes obsessed, which means you become obsessed with him learning it. The soundtrack carries every moment, upbeat, infectious, impossible to shake, so even a tournament about a sport most anime ignore feels like an adventure that matters. Character arcs build quietly through golf games instead of exposition, and by episode ten you care about these people the way they care about their swings.
Tadamichi Aoba, known as Dandoh, is an ordinary elementary school kid who loves baseball. During a game with his friends Yuka and Kohei, one wild fly ball smashes the principal's potted plants. Instead of scolding him, the principal is impressed by the swing and steers him toward golf. Dandoh takes up the sport after learning that a tournament win can pay around 30 million yen. He lost his mother to money troubles when he was young, and he hopes golf can bring her back. Guided by a famous former pro golfer, he enters a tournament with a chance at the national championships. The show is a sports adventure built around golf and adapted from the manga by Sakata Nobuhiro and Banjou Daichi.
