Living Golf
SHOW #76
South Korean Women Golfers
September's 'Living Golf' investigates the outstanding success of South Korean women in the game of golf. Once dominated by Americans and Europeans, nearly a quarter of the players of the LPGA Tour, the world's leading female golf tour, are from South Korea. Host Justin Armsden examines certain attributes South Korean professionals have that might breed this success.
The program also shows how the men are trying to catch up whilst the compulsory military service during their 20s make their task much harder. While South Korea golfers like Eun Hee Ji are making headlines around the world, the game thrives back home, and not only on the fairways. From the South Korean capital of Seoul, 'Living Golf' explores virtual-reality golf, a fast-growing pastime for South Koreans, having grown from fewer than 300 golf cafes in 2003 to around 2,500 last year.
