( sorry if this is the wrong area to post, i'm rusty )

I was pretty surprised to see Jimin ( is Jammin'** ) Kang in last weeks Shoprite. Research showed she was also in the field for VOA ( who knew? ). And she is also first alternate this week.

Did anybody see this coming? Info?

** you gotta really be old school Seoul Sisters to know this nickname.

She's been trying to make a comeback all season, mostly in Monday qualifiers. Didn't need to qualify for Shop-Rite as the field was so weak. I followed her for three or four holes during Round One...she's a few ounces over her fighting weight from the old days, but the swing still looks the same. She pulled her tee shot left at the par-3 7th and said, "Oh s%#@".

I remember her nickname around here was 'Say Cheese' because she would smile that toothy grin at the drop of the hat. Any smile sightings when you watched her?

(about a decade ago I ran her official website, so she's the only Sister with whom I ever had an official business relationship).

She sure did when she looked over at me. A scoreboard flashed her LPGA portrait, which is at least ten years old.

Did you have anything to do with her Golf tournament.

I played golf with a guy that said that he was a friend of Jimin and distant relative of Seon Hwa Lee.
He said that Jimin was doing tournaments for Korean Refugees.
I searched for the tournament but was unable to find it
However during the search I discovered the Seoulsisters site.
So I will give her a shout out for that.

Also she was paired with So Yeon in Phoenix, when I followed her.
I believe it was So Yeon first tournament as an LPGA member.
I think in 2012 Phoenix was the first LPGA tournament in the US.
She also was paired with Mi Hyun Kim at Hana Bank, which I believe was Mi Hyun last LPGA tournament.
All this is from memory, so I may have been all that accurate, but that's why I am interested in Jimin.
