koreans on LPGA Tour

[allin]

Why do the announcers dance around the issue of why so many Korean women are winning and while none of them are dominant, why are there so many. The mens announcers don't duck the same issue about why the Australians have been so successful lately. I realize that there has been some resentment expressed by a certain former LPGA player. Discussing why they are successful could help players from USA develop there games. Especially since there is a good crop coming up now.

why they're succesful? no need to discuss. It's their dedication to the game, starting playing golf early, grooming young players to potential high preformance. Hard work is part of far eastern countries mentality - and hard work can get you a lot in golf. Passion and dedication to the game adds just enough to create a perfect mix, golf in Korea is like soccer in South America - not quite a religion, but damn close

GO KOREA, futbol in korea is quite the sport, when you said south america for futbol, that is the same in korea, golf is only for the rich or really dedicated in korea because to play golf, the cheapest 9 hole is probably 150$$.

I'm not sure all the korean players making a career on LPGA tour grew up in their home country, they all play college golf in US and the huge korean population living in US is definitely (in numbers) very much into golf

When I was in Korea, the Pueblo was just taken....... (For those of you who might remember the Pueblo, it was a definate set up by the U.S. Government, my onsite opinion)

Korea didn't even know what a golf club was at that time. I was stationed in Japan and they were just starting to get into golf. I played all thru Pacaf and believe me, the Koreans and Japanese DEDICATE themselves to whatever they attempt.

I have great respect for the Asian people after living there for 3 years.

When I put up my LPGA props, I have a hello of a time spelling their names and when I do, I always think of the first tee of the tournament and the announcer. He must go nuts announcing them.

I'll tell you one thing, they are not all that bad looking and I have noticed over the years that their "bustline" has gotten bigger. Must be the american food they're eating over here because fish and rice don't do it. (if only my high school english teacher could hear me now )

I've been to many an LPGA tourny and they hit the ball as far as the average PGA tour pro. More accurate too.

A lot of the Korean women started out in another sport like softball and then when they saw the money they can make here, bingo

I've seen a lot of them up close and trust me, I'd take any one of them 2 out of 3 falls.

I live down here in Costa Rica. I came here 7 years ago for a short vacation before completing some work in the US. After being here a week and seeing what I saw.....I Stayed....case closed

And I've enjoyed every minute of it. I'll post some pics of shelley's friends, they're even better looking than Shelley. This place is unbelievable

Let me ask you this, if you walked into a restuarant with a 21 year old drop dead gorious girl, in the States, what would happen. You'd be locked up in a heart beat if you were over 55 years old.........or, they might think it's your granddaughter,,,,,,until you started kissing her..... , that's when they'd call the cops

And talk about attitude. Totally different than the US. Here, now I dont' want to get risque, but as you know in the US, when you take a girl out, you always "wonder" if you're going to "score". Here, there's no wondering, if you don't "score", word gets around that you are cold and unloving. The girls here won't go out with you again......this is true as I know true to be.

Thank God for Viagra
