Japan and Korea (anyone been?)

[stolpioni]

I am going to visit both South Korea and Japan next month and would like to play some golf. My question is if anyone knows what the price of private lessons are in each respective country? I have a tradition of taking lessons from local pros whenever I travel overseas, just in case I learn something they do over there that we don't do over here.

I have never taken a lesson, period.

But some of my clients tells me it costs $500 for a lesson in South Korea.  I think that was one-month one-on-one lesson, once or twice a week, with the local pro.

I have been to both countries 20 years ago when I was in the military and didn't get to play golf, was there in temporary duty , but I heard it was expensive.

Calling @JapanDave. He used to comment on golf in Japan I think

My Japanese golf buddies would mention that playing golf, and getting lessons in their country is without a doubt costly. Golf is a luxury sport, and they take pride with a matching price tag that comes with it!. My opinion, Japanese golf fundamentals requires an insane amount of flexibility. You'll notice Japanese tour players would have that same "signature" swing.
