Tee Time: 8:42am Players: Dave, Minchul This was another great round at Sagewood. Since we play no caddie and the course is usually pretty empty, it was a good opportunity for me to experiment a little bit with my driver and try a few things out there on the course. It was a lot of…

Tee Time: 6:36am Players: Scott, James, Youngjune This was an early tee time. Since Koreans like to meet up for breakfast in the clubhouse, we met up at 5:45am which meant that I had to get there by 5:30am so I had to leave my house at 4:30am so I had to get up at…

Tee Time: 8:26am Players: Kyle, Lionel, Myunsoo This is a fun group of friends for golf. We played the West and North courses which are always a lot of fun. Lionel is an excellent golfer and it showed by his 2 birdies on the first 2 par 3s! I played ok overall but I was…

Tee Time: 13:11 Players: Jy, Jena, Sunmi This was a fun round but it was hot and it was sunny! Dunes course does not have a lot of trees because it’s a links style course similar to Scotland’s Old Course, etc. It’s a fun course and I played well overall though so that was good….

Tee Time: 6:02am Players: Philip, James, Danny I had one of the best rounds of my life! My driver was pretty solid and going straight, irons and short game were decent. I didn’t birdie any holes though and I didn’t par as many as I wanted because my putting wasn’t so great but I did…

Tee Time: 6:15am Players: June, Eric, Woochul Although Asiana is a tough course, I like the course and have fun playing here. I especially like the more difficult East Course mainly for the hole where we ride the funicular type thing up from hole 7 to hole 8 (iirc). There was talk about getting rid…

Tee Time: 7:21 Players: Youngjune, Kate, Maria Gapyeong Benest is one of the Samsung owned golf courses in Korea within the same “Benest” family of Ansung Benest (where I currently have membership), Dongrae Benest, etc. Anyang, Glen Ross, and Lakeside are also Samsung owned but do not carry the “Benest” name. The course is located…

Tee Time: 8:06 Players: Jy Sagewood Hongcheon is probably my favorite public course in Korea. It’s expensive though (400k on Sat morning, 350k on Sat afternoon / all day Sundays / public holidays) so it’s a good 70-120k or so more expensive than a typical Korean golf course. It’s also kind of far. It’s about…

Tee Time: 7:03 Players: James, Dave, Andy This was a fun round with friends (although James is a co-worker, he’s kind of like a friend). It was my first time playing with Andy and he has a decent game. This course is tough to book but I got lucky a few weeks ago. In general,…

Tee Time: 7:26 Players: Scott, Luke, Jongduk After a long heat wave that lasted about 1.5 months, there was a typhoon last week so it brought a lot of wind and rain. The course was a little wet but the temperatures were nice and cool for the most part. Overall, it was a wonderful day…
