One Swing Philosophy — What Golf Taught Me About Life

It's a rainy day in Jeju, so I'm staying home today. I'm planning to make delicious pork ribs with lots of vegetables and mushrooms. I'll also have some mixed-grain rice and take my time chewing every bite. Sounds like a lovely day, doesn't it? 😊 But there's another reason I'm looking forward to today. I'm going to watch the third round of the Aramco Korea Championship on TV and cheer for Park Sung-hyun. I don't think I've ever personally cheered for a golfer this much before! Yesterday, I watched her second-round highlights again. Her birdie putts had been so close, sometimes missing the hole by just a little. Then came the 17th hole. Her second shot was sitting in a divot, but she still hit a wonderful shot toward the green. Then she made an amazing eagle putt from about 11 meters! And on the final hole, she saved par from a greenside bunker. What a round! I was so happy watching those moments. I wanted to share a little of my recent good luck...

What a day at the Aramco Korea Championship! Park Sung-hyun finished her second round at 7 under par , moving into second place. Her putting was excellent, and her par save from the bunker on the 18th hole was simply amazing! Watching her play today made me wonder: Could she win this week? I certainly hope so! Kim Hyo-joo is also playing well at 5 under par. I'm cheering for both players! Tomorrow, rain is expected in the afternoon, so I'll stay home and enjoy the third round in front of my big TV. Good luck, Sung-hyun and Hyo-joo! Give us another exciting day of golf! One swing at a time. Keep going! ❤️ Two Unforgettable Moments! Park Sung-hyun Support, Part 3 ⛳ I watched Park Sung-hyun's second-round highlights again last night, and I was so happy I had to write a little more! Throughout the round, her birdie putts seemed to miss the hole by just a tiny bit. It was exciting, but also a little frustrating to watch! Then came the 17th hole. Even more amazing, her second sh...

Yesterday, I wrote a little post wishing Sung Hyun Park a good week at the Aramco Korea Championship. And today, she gave me a very good reason to smile. She finished the first round at 4-under, 68 , with four birdies and no bogeys, putting her in tied 5th place . I was hoping for a Top 10 finish. Now, I am quietly hoping for a little more. 😊 There are still three rounds to go, so anything can happen. I just hope Sung Hyun Park keeps playing her own game, one shot at a time. One more good round tomorrow. That is all I am wishing for. Go, Sung Hyun Park! ⛳️❤️ KR Version 어제 저녁, 아람코 코리아 챔피언십을 앞두고 박성현 선수가 이번 대회에서 좋은 경기를 했으면 좋겠다는 응원 글을 하나 썼다. 그리고 오늘, 박성현 선수가 나를 기분 좋게 해주었다. 1라운드에서 4언더파 68타, 공동 5위. 버디 4개를 잡았고, 보기 하나 없는 깔끔한 라운드였다. 나는 사실 이번 대회에서 박성현 선수가 Top 10에 들어가면 좋겠다고 생각했다. 그런데 오늘 공동 5위라니. 이제는 조용히 조금 더 욕심을 내보고 싶다.  아직 세 라운드가 남아 있으니 골프에서는 무슨 일이든 일어날 수 있다. 그저 박성현 선수가 자신의 골프를 믿고 내일도 한 샷, 한 샷 편안하게 쳤으면 좋겠다. 내일도 좋은 한 라운드. 그것만 바란다. 박성현 선수, 화이팅! ⛳️❤️😃 "Welcome! Here, you'll find easy golf...

Lately, I have been watching more golf and suddenly became curious. I know the LPGA, but what exactly is the LET? And what is LETAS? I especially noticed the Ladies European Tour (LET) . The name says “European,” but the players travel all over the world — not only Europe, but also Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and other parts of the world. So I decided to study it for myself. And the more I learned, the more interesting it became. 1. LPGA — A Global Women’s Professional Golf Tour The LPGA Tour is based in the United States and is one of the major women’s professional golf tours in the world. The LPGA was founded in 1950. Although it is based in the U.S., the LPGA now holds tournaments in many countries around the world. So it may sound like an “American tour,” but it is actually very international. Players we often see on television, such as Nelly Korda Lydia Ko Hyo Joo Kim Jeeno Thitikul Minjee Lee compete on the LPGA Tour. 2. LET — Ladies European Tour So, what is the LET ? LET...

Today, while watching a women’s golf tournament, I noticed the name Aramco Korea Championship . At first, I honestly thought: “Is Aramco connected to America?” The name includes American , so it seemed like a reasonable guess.  😊 But when I looked into it, I found an interesting history. ARAMCO = Arabian American Oil Company The company began with American involvement in oil exploration and development in Saudi Arabia. Here is the short version of its history: 1933 — Standard Oil of California began oil exploration in Saudi Arabia. 1938 — Commercial oil production began. 1944 — The company was renamed Arabian American Oil Company , or ARAMCO. Over the following decades, the Saudi government gradually acquired the company’s shares. 1980 — The Saudi government acquired 100% ownership. 1988 — The modern Saudi Aramco was officially established. So, yes, the name has “American” in it. But today, Saudi Aramco is Saudi Arabia’s major global energy company. I started by watching a ...

These days, I keep discovering new golf stories while watching professional golf. This time, I found myself wondering about something I had heard many times before: What exactly is LET? LET stands for the Ladies European Tour . I knew the name, but I had never really stopped to learn much about it. Then I noticed that the PIF Global Series is bringing the Aramco Korea Championship to Korea, and I became curious. So I decided to find out more. What Is the Ladies European Tour? The Ladies European Tour, or LET, is a professional women's golf tour that was founded in Europe. But today, LET is not limited to Europe. Its tournaments are held in different parts of the world, making it a truly international women's golf tour. It is a separate tour from the LPGA Tour, but the two tours are closely connected. Many players compete on both tours, and some major tournaments are shared between them. So when you watch women's professional golf, you may sometimes see a player on the LPG...
