The Golfer

I asked my tour guide, Michael, what these huge green nets are on day. He told me they are driving ranges. Wow! there is one on every corner. Golf is very big in South Korea. The population used to not have as much leisure money but these days with the booming economy, South Koreans have extra money for things like golf. This is big news. It should not a surprise that a Korean man, Y.E. Yang, just won the US PGA open. I watched an interview with him and he said that he started playing golf in high school and had very few chances to play golf on a real golf course. He is a great inspiration here in Korea.
