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…

Tee Time: 6:20am Players: Steven, Roy, Kyle This was day 2 of our boys weekend trip in Pyongchang. Yongpyong CC is a nice country club located near the ski resort. The wrist was actually really sore after yesterday’s round so I put the brace back on for the rest of yesterday and just rested the…

Tee Time: 8:06am Players: Steven, Roy, Kyle I had a wrist injury that kept me sidelined for the past 2 weeks. I tore my TFCC (some ligaments). I was in a cast for a week and then a wrist brace all week. I slowly started to practice golf on Wednesday and it was terrible…sharp pain…

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…

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…
