One Swing Philosophy — What Golf Taught Me About Life

The BMW Ladies Championship will take place in South Korea from October 22 to 25, 2026. For golf fans, it will be a wonderful opportunity to watch some of the world's best players, including Nelly Korda, Lydia Ko, Jin Young Ko, and Hyo Joo Kim. But there is one player I especially hope to see at this tournament. Sung Hyun Park. As a golf fan, I am interested not only in players' scores but also in their journeys. Returning to the top after reaching the highest level is never easy. There must be many challenges that we cannot see from the outside. That is why I hope Sung Hyun Park will have the opportunity to play her own game and show us what she can do. Of course, a great result would make me very happy. But more than anything, I hope she stays healthy, enjoys the competition, and finishes each round feeling that she gave it her best. Golf is a sport in which players compete against one another. At the same time, they must learn to trust their own swings and overcome their own...

I have always thought Sung Hyun Park was a special golfer. There is something about her that is hard to explain. Maybe it is her powerful swing. Maybe it is the way she walks onto the tee. Or maybe it is simply the quiet confidence she carries with her. She has a kind of charisma that naturally draws people in. There was a time when Sung Hyun Park seemed almost unstoppable. She won seven times on the KLPGA Tour in 2016. Then, in her first full LPGA season in 2017, she won the U.S. Women's Open, became Rookie of the Year, and shared the Player of the Year award. She went on to win another major championship at the 2018 KPMG Women's PGA Championship and reached World No. 1. That was the Sung Hyun Park I remember. Powerful. Fearless. And somehow, very cool. Golf, however, is a long journey. Even great players go through difficult stretches. Sometimes the swing disappears. Sometimes confidence becomes quiet. And sometimes a golfer simply has to find her way back. Now she is playing...

16 Years After Korea’s Last Men’s Individual Golf Gold I love golf, so I naturally pay attention when golf becomes part of a big international event. And this time, there was some very good news. Tom Kim, also known as Kim Joo-hyung, won the gold medal in the men’s individual golf event at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. He played the final round at Kasugai Country Club in Japan on October 3. He shot a 6-under 64 and finished at 18-under 262 for the tournament. He won by three strokes. It was also an important moment for Korean men’s golf. Korea had not won the men’s individual golf gold medal at the Asian Games since Kim Min-hwi won in 2010. That means it had been 16 years . A Message From Tiger Woods There was another interesting story before the final round. Tom Kim received a message from Tiger Woods . The message was very simple: “Just be you. Nothing more, nothing less.” I like this sentence. Maybe because it sounds so simple. But golf is not always simple. When we play, we ...
