Tee Time: 8:36 Players: Dave, Dave’s dad Between heat, rain, and travel I actually had no played golf in over a month. I still practiced quite a bit but it is probably one of the longer spells that I have gone without playing golf (in the winter in Korea I don’t play much either but…

6/18/2023 – The Lakes at Osan Air Base
Tee Time: 15:22 Players: Youngsin, Colonel, Kyle Played with the colonel again and he had a strong first half but had a few bad holes on the back half. I played well overall with mostly bogey and pars and a few double pars if the putt didn’t go in. Overall I was playing a pretty…
6/17/2023 – Ansung Benest (North + West)
Tee Time: 13:11 Players: James, Luke Caddie: 장미정 (Rose 정) I played Ansung Benest with James last month and it was pretty fun so we played again. Last time we played we got rained out after 9 holes but the weather cooperated this time. I played well overall so I was happy. I especially crushed…
6/12/2023 – Recreation Park 9 (Long Beach, CA)
Tee Time: 8:06am Players: Jy This is a small 9 hole golf course located across the street from the bigger Recreation Park 18 (where I played yesterday). Our tee time was at 8:06am and we were able to just play the 2 of us (so no one else was paired up with us). The holes…
6/11/2023 – Recreation Park 18 (Long Beach, CA)
Tee Time: 15:40 Players: Jy + random Korean couple Rec Park 18 is a public course in Long Beach, CA. It’s a decent course but gets pretty crowded and today was no exception. I was able to book a special hot rate at around $33/person including cart so the price was great. Normal price would…

6/6/2023 – Ansung Benest (West + North)
Tee Time: 8:36am Players: Eunyoung, Hyungoo, Hoon This was a nice day at the course. Weather was great and the course was fun as usual. I played well overall but lost my driver swing on the last few holes (I kept duck hooking them…not sure what was up with that). My fellow players were cool…

Tee Time: 6:23 Players: Jy, Soohyun, Soohyun’s husband La vie est belle old course is one of my favorite public courses in Korea. The clubhouse is beautiful and the grounds are well maintained. It’s tough to get a tee time and our tee time was the first of the day. I got lucky and booked…
6/3/2023 – Hwasan CC
Tee Time: 13:48 Players: Scott, Luke, Jongduk Hwasan is a private country club located in the Yongin area so it’s fairly accessible from Seoul. Although it isn’t as far as other places, it still took me almost an hour to get here due to some minor traffic, etc. Hwasan means volcano and there is one…
5/29/2023 – Asiana (West)
Tee Time: 11:45 Players: Malcolm, Thierry This was my farewell round with Malcolm. Malcolm has membership at Asiana so he made the reservation. My play was pretty good but not as good as the last 2 days. I guess my string of awesome play finally ran out. I still played better than normal though and…
