KLPGA Rookie of the Year Eun Soo Jang is working hard to make sure she gets her first win next season. She likes puppies, too!

Korean American amateur star Youngin Chun has won several AJGA events in the past couple of seasons. She's on the Rolex Junior All America First team for 2018 and is ranked 4th on the AJGA. She's now joined the pro ranks, signing with the same management company, Bravo and New, that handles Inbee and So Yeon Ryu among others.
She's already won her first pro event!

I recently discovered that two of the Webbies I saw following Karrie W. at the 2017 USWO were golfers, including Hannah Green and Karis Davidson(below). KD passed the final stage of JLPGA q-school earlier this month. https://www.instagram.com/p/BWgmLSnnuR- ********* To everyone else in women's golf: Be afraid...be very afraid. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bc7N7aln40v I looked up Lotte Castle (the signs at each stall)...it appears to be a swanky high-rise real estate development spread across multiple locations in Seoul. www.lottecastle.co.kr/

http://instagram.com/p/BdMM697nOjl Not sure of the details, but it seems that Na Yeon is packing up, leaving Orlando and I am guessing will not play on the LPGA in 2018. She finished 135 on the money list, and I think 2017 was the last year of her USWO champion exemption. Again this is all speculation but if true, it's the end of an era. NYC is one of the all-time greats of K-golf and a true original. And in my uninformed opinion, one of the most naturally gifted golfers in modern golf.

She finished 135 on the money list, and I think 2017 was the last year of her USWO champion exemption. NO WAY!!! She started playing decent golf in the last half of 2017, so it would be premature to quit the LPGA. Maybe she'll get a cheap apartment instead, or maybe she'll go the vagabond route like Inky and become America's guest! Regarding the USWO, it's a ten-year exemption, so she can play it thru 2022. I saw Birdie Kim get interviewed at Lancaster in 2015, which was her last visit to the big show.

I might imagine those are paid volunteers....I suspect they want the snow removed from the artificial turf so balls can roll back to be automatically collected. We have snow on the ground now and they are hand picking balls here at the Burnaby Mountain range. It's pretty sad/pathetic that the Korean pros have to hit ball off mats at the range vs. practicing on real grass at a private club....you'd never see Yank pros practicing off mats at a driving range. They paid volunteers last week to dig out the Buffalo Bills stadium and they also offered a free ticket too.

Huh...wat chu talkin about Willis?...you smokin fanofseri's CRACK PIPE too?.....NYC played like SH*T all year round in 2017. NYC has priority #82 based on category #5....so I think she'll still try to compete on the LPGA in 2018 and win back Jenny Shin's heart. Yes...at 1st I thought NYC might save money and just bunk in Meg & Beth's guest house. But I translated a comment in Korean that NYC posted in her IG feed ......to a question Jtibs asked about where she was going....NYC replied: "I'm going to a nicer city" So I'm guessing NYC is moving to San Fran. No way NYC is moving back to the "softball team unfriendly culture" of Korea. Obviously Jtibs and NYC have broken up because they are corresponding via cyber space vs. face to face....seems like Korean gals are insatiable and always looking for something new and don't want to be tied down....looks like The Rocket and Jenn Song have called it quits too...there are no posts of their union on either pro's IG accounts...just sayin.
