The debut HUGEL-JTBC LA Open takes place at the Wilshire Country Club starting 04/19/2018. The course is close to downtown. Here's a video some entity calling itself Tour Caddie Blog that uses Google Earth to do a flyover the course.
When I told a co-worker I was attending, she asks me the name of it and I drew a blank. I wasn't even sure the tournament had a sponsor yet at the time.
I'm flying down Wednesday.
I did some research and a bus line takes me practically door-to-door from my hotel to the course. Thank you Metro LA!
I'm not taking my laptop with me and I'm not very talented at one-finger tapping on my mobile device so don't look for real-time tournament updates from me.
Looks like it will be summer-like weather especially on the weekend.

Considering that In Gee's reason for WD was listed as "illness" I am a little concerned.
Nonetheless I remain excited for this event and I think the attendance could be exceptional.

The April 13, 2001 edition of the Toledo Blade shows the first round scores of 133 players at Wilshire CC. The only names in common with the 2018 field are Juli Inkster, Candie Kung and Angela Stanford. Kung was an amateur in 2001.

The best thing that could happen to help attendance this week would be for Korean(s) to get into the hunt. In the past, events in LA have not been well attended. I recall that the Wilshire course is right in/outside of Koreatown, but the fans who would attend probably won't show up until the weekend (many aren't retirees, so they can't just drop everything and go on Thursday and Fridays).
Hopefully they'll finally get an LA event that will stick.

Should be an interesting week on a new course. Links-style layout it seems, I think Jin Young Ko will go well and win for her grandfather.
My preview of the tournament in my signature below if interested.

The Thursday-Friday groups have been posted...great to see MHL with J. Song...I can't recall them being together before. As for third, The Terminator, bleh. SY Ryu will be crawling with The Old Ko and Crusty. The Rocket will launch with NASA...and Stoelting is the third.

I looked up Mi Hyang's score two time this evening and she made bogey on the next hole each time...serves me right for emitting bad karma. Really bummed about NYC WD. UPDATE: Just checked MHL again and she bogeyed again.

After hearing about those stupid Poa greens, I feel much better about Mi Hyang's 71 (E) in the afternoon...she could scorch that place with her early Friday AM tee time...I hope.

Amy Yang dropped out today, haven't read why. Looks like Marina and Moriya will be in the last group on Saturday...which one will go into a fetal position first? It's too bad as I'd like to see both of them get their first win ASAP. MHL (71-70) ... that's progress.
