Join our special guest host, Cathy Kim, the Director of Golf for Baltimore Country Club as she interviews our guests from Gachon University based in Seoul, South Korea. We go behind the scenes to learn how golf is different in Korea and how it has become such an important part of the culture. As one guest says about golf, it is more popular than religion in South Korea. And one of the key differences is how they organize and teach golf at University in addition to the golf academies and golf courses.
Our special guests for this episode include Jaewon Kwak, a senior professor with Gachon University. She holds a PhD. in Physical Education with a specialization in Golf. She also holds the enviable distinction of being the coach that introduced Rolex Women's World No.1 player, Jin Young Ko to golf, teaching her the fundamentals of golf and a solid golf swing foundation that has enabled her to become one of the best players in the world.
Hyemin Kim is our other special guest and is an instructing professor with Gachon University in their golf program. She is a former Epson tour player having played from 2012 through to 2019.
