Great golf cource bad golf for Anders and me but fabulous sceneries.

This Saturday we were invited by MG Suh Hyoung-Seok, Commender of the 1st ROKA Division, to join him and his wife for golf at Seowon Valley Golf Club last Saturday.


I was a bit nervous for I'm at the moment not very good in playing (a nice way of saying that I suck). However, the couple mentioned that they were beginners which made me relax.
We met them at their house and then drove about 20 minutes to go to the Golf Club. It was unbelievably beautiful and so was the course, ranked as 8th best of Korea's 350 courses by Golf Digest!

A caddy prepared our cart and off we went.

She started with cleaning our clubbs, which I thought Anders had done before they were shipped to Korea.............. (he said he did, but apparently not very well)

It took about two strokes from the couple and I realized that we weren't playing with beginners. They were very, very good and showed us how one should play.

Nevertheless, it was a friendly game (I stopped counting my strokes after three holes!) and we enjoyed being with them, the course and sceneries. We had a short “pit stop” eating Korean cold noodles soup and while walking in the heat to our balls we talked about many things, this thanks to their good English (our Korean is still very under developed ;)).

This small woman hit drive after drive of 170 to 180 meters,on the Fareway!   

 Unbelievable impressive.   

 Enjoying the game, weather and scenery?

Afterwards we made use of the luxurious shower facilities, had a drink (orange juice, Anders got his beer after 12 holes ;)) at their home on the 1^st divisions Head Quarter. Upon arrival of the Swiss HoD MG Joss and his wife Kristine and Col Kurt Taylor, Head of UNC (United Nations Command) we left for dinner.

This unbelievable dinner concisted of an immense number of different dishes, was at a traditional Korean Restaurant, MyoungGa Won.

About 1,5 hours drive from the multi million city Seoul you can find several original buildings from centuries ago.








We ended this full day with traditional tea drinking in the hosting couple’s home.  

Preparing & drinking tea a very appriciated tradition in South East Asia.
