New Bedford in Mass. is close to Rhode Island. It is a Portuguese’s town.
A lot of them do not speak English at all. Fishing is pretty big there.
They eat food that Koreans like. Cow’s stomach, tails, bones can be bought
in their market. Sweet bread and Portugese’s Donaughts are delicious.
They like pig’s feet, squids and octopus. But I did not know Titleist golf balls
are made there even though I lived in RI for 23 years.

Thank you, Dr. Ohn, for the information.
I was salivating while reading your description of their foods.

It is a heart warming story that golf ball making business has transformed
four small rural towns into prosperous and happy places to live in,
of course, while all residents enjoying playing golf games with their brands.
South Korean conglomerate, Fila, bought the Titleist company some years ago,
but continued to make golf balls there as before, making the employees happy.
So I see that playing golf does some good to fellow Americans.
