Tee Time: 6:08am Players: Eunjoo, Byungsam, Byungsam’s co-worker This was my second time playing Asiana in the past few weeks. We played the same course which is the easier course so it wasn’t too bad. Fun day but hot and humid. Didn’t play so well but still had fun anyway.

7/31/2022 – Anseong Benest (North | West)
Tee Time: 7:19am Players: Youngjune, Hyungoo, Yongrae I like north and west course at Anseong Benest! This is my home course and although North and West are a little longer than South and East, it’s more fun because the fairways are a little wider and the holes are more scenic. The last time I was…
7/30/2022 – Shindale (Lake | Dale)
Tee Time: 7:37 Players: Malcolm, Jonathan, Joe This was a fun day although I didn’t really play very well. Shinedale is a pretty tough course with narrow fairways and many hazards but it’s fun. The weather was hot hot hot and the sun came out so it was pretty difficult conditions. I played a slightly…
7/24/2022 – La Vie est Belle (Old Course)
Tee Time: 8:22am Players: Luke, Joshua, Eunyoung We had a great day at the course! La vie est belle is still one of the most popular golf courses in Korea and old course is the more popular course (compared to Dunes). Dunes is more of a links course and I guess Koreans don’t really like…

Tee Time: 7:26am Players: Malcolm, Thierry We were supposed to play with our friend Adrian who is leaving Korea soon (so this was supposed to be our farewell round) but with covid numbers up and Adrian unfortunately catching covid, he couldn’t make it. So we played with just the 3 of us. It was a…
7/17/2022 – Asiana (West)
Tee Time: 9:45am Players: Eric, June, Byungsam Asiana is a nice country club located in the Yongin area so it’s not far from Seoul. It’s a popular country club but not open to the public but many corporations have membership there so I tend to play here a few times per year. Parking is valet…

Tee Time: 7:14am Players: Gary, Taeho, Minsung Sagewood is one of my favorite public courses in Korea but I played pretty crappy so didn’t enjoy it as much this time. I like Dream and Vision courses. Challenge is a bit of a challenge…. It was pretty and the weather was humid although not as hot…
Garmin Approach R10 Launch Monitor
The Garmin Approach R10 launch monitor is the best launch monitor for the money! Of course there are other launch monitors that are better…for example, the trackman is better, the GC Quad is better, etc. But those launch monitors are $5k or $20k, etc. The Garmin R10 is only $599! For $599 you get a…

Tee Time: 6:44am Players: Philip, Taedeok, Eunyoung This was my first time playing with Philip and Taedeok and turns out they are both good golfers. They are co-workers. I started out well with a nice solid drive on hole 1 (love when that happens!) but my driver was a bit hit and miss for the…
