Today is last day of 10 days of Hawaiian trip.
I am heading to Australia in early morning.

I was able to watch some of this tournament and When I left
for dinner,all Korean players were not contending.

It was totally surprising coming from behind win by Ha Na Jang.

This is first win by Korean player this season thus far and this win
will boost their confidences for rest of the season.

Congratulation to Ha Na Jang!   KJ from Honolulu,Hawaii

What happened to Lydia Ko? I am afraid that Leadbetter, who teaches how to swing rather than how to win, might have ruined Lydia. I really hope that I am to be wrong. Shin

Hana Jang's bright unrestrained smiles were wonderful. She seemed to be full of confidence.

Doc, I agree.

The private teacher can be one of the deciding factors.

I do hope Lydia's chemistry works well with that of Leadbetter.

However, there are more things than the teaching and practice in golf as well as anything we do.

Being taught and doing practice belong to "실짱" (좋은 실력).

Well, however, it's only good with "끈짱" (끈질긴 끈기).

The realities of our life and golf demand something more than those two above.

Fortunately or unfortunately, it is "운짱" (Lucky 운수) that determines the winner.

Maybe, we think "운짱" may be the thing we need.

Don't get in a hurry. That's not all.

We will need "명짱" (긴 수명) !!

Just winning once and then disapperaing from the leaderboard doesn't cut it.

One has to stay on the leaderboard for a very long time to be the true winner.

For that, one needs "명짱".

For the last, even the "명짱" is not the ultimate solution.

As you may know already, there is the "우짱" above all.

What is "우짱" then? Can you guess?

It is something that we can not overcome even with all the above "짱s".

Doc, Bon Voyage !!

Good to hear from you, Dr. Hwang.

From Hawaii to Australia to New Zealand, then

all the way back to Michigan.

What a small world! 

I could say that thanks to you although I am stuck in my condo

and this small city of  San Juan Capistrano.

When Suk Joo and I walk the beach of Dana Point tomorrow,

we will think of you and your lady beyond the small pond,

called the Pacific Ocean.

Enjoy every minute of your memorable long trip

and take good care.

Thanks very much for you gentlemen's kind words!

My son was nice enough to take time off to treat his Mom for her big "70",
as he did Alaskan trip for his Dad's big '70'.

We are heading to Tasmania after one more day at Melbourne.Sydney will be
after that before NZ. We have had a whale of time together so far.   KJ
