It seems at last the ability of Korean PGA players is being recognized.
For the first time in my recollection TV commentators were profuse
in praising Kevin Na today. 임성재 has been well covered favorably
in golf digest and others as well.
It is about time. I should say.
Go! Korean boys in PGA!
More closely at home
for the first time in 32 year history of my Marbella CC a Korean man I know well
won the men's club championship last week.
There are only few, less than 10 Koreans out of
525 members. Over 95% are whites so that to say the least people were stunned.
I was so proud of him.
