Chaebol reduce investments in golfers
Chaebol reduce investments in golfers
Female golfers were no exception during the nation-shocking scandal last year involving former President Park Geun-hye and her close friend Choi Soon-sil. Korean conglomerates have begun to reduce their investment in golfers, since their chairmen faced questioning by judicial authorities over allegations of bribing Park and Choi. The heads of the three largest sponsors of gol...

SMEs emerge as new sponsors of female golfers
SMEs emerge as new sponsors of female golfers
When Yang Hee-young went two years without a sponsor after winning the 2013 LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship, the company that gave her a helping hand was not a conglomerate or a finance company. At the 2015 Evian Championship, on her cap was the logo of PNS, a medium-sized window and door maker not familiar to most people. Yang and PNS signed a sponsorship deal at the event v...

KB supports two winners ─ Olympic gold medalist Park In-bee, who won the HSBC Women’s Champions, and Lee Mi-hyang,...

Address your ball properly to increase distance
Address your ball properly to increase distance
To increase your power and distance, you need to address your ball properly. Once you’ve gripped your club and precisely aimed it at your target, you need to focus on your posture. To increase your power and distance, you first need to keep your back or spine straight. To rotate your torso effectively, you need to keep your chin up, back straight, bottom stuck out and legs sl...

Female golfers promote Korean firms
Hanwha’s logo was written on the cap of Kim In-kyung when the female golfer raised her trophy for the cameras at the Ricoh Women’s British Open last week. When Haru Nomura won the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout in May, the Korean-Japanese female golfer was also wearing her cap and orange jacket decorated with Hanwha’s logos. Korea’s eighth-largest conglomerate was not t...

Yielding extra yards off the tee
Yielding extra yards off the tee
To lower your score, you have to drive your ball in the fairway. More important, you need to hit your tee shots farther to make easier approach shots with shorter clubs. With short irons, you will have more chances to hit your ball close to the pin. Just like strength-sapped seniors, players lacking distance are desperate to increase power. There are diverse different ways th...

Achieving full, balanced finish to send your ball perfectly
Achieving full, balanced finish to send your ball perfectly
Once you’ve hit your ball, you need to make sure you swing into a full, balanced finish. If you quit swinging your club immediately after hitting, your clubface will not close enough. If your clubface stays open when your ball leaves your club, you will fail to send your ball accurately toward your target. Your ball will travel straight to your right or curve from left to rig...
