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…

9/9/2023 – La vie est belle (Dunes Course)
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….
8/27/2023 – Jisan CC
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…
8/20/2023 – Asiana (East Course)
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…

8/15/2023 – Sagewood (Dream + Vision)
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…
8/13/2023 – La Vie est Belle (Old Course)
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,…
8/12/2023 – Ansung Benest (North + West)
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…
