Hana Bank is like RBC here in Canada...pouring money behind many pros and events.
It's too bad RBC has a lot of money tied up in premier PGA pros and 2 PGA events....otherwise they'd be a great sponsor to replace CP if they should bail....but hey....maybe RBC will do it.
I believe the Terminator will sport a TM staff bag....though many consumers aren't really influenced by OEM clubs played by the pros....but I believe the Terminator could convert some Korean posers to switch to TM sticks....much more so than Sharon's TMaG sponsorship.

It is amazing how much more popular Sung Hyun Park is with the Korean undesirables as compared to the more well known players. If she can actually play decent golf, she can help bring Korea out of its deep depression. Someone posted an article...it's the middle aged pervert guys who like Dumbo....and all the Korean women like NYC, WinBee and Terminator because they are threatened by their looks. Good looking women befriend uglier women so when they go out on the town with the gals...it is them who get all the attention and free drinks....nuff said. The "self secure" factor that you mentioned above could just be a small part of the equation. In certain genre of classical Chinese opera (because Tom Abbott is well-read), the male lead is commonly played/sang by female. And those singers/actresses in real life usually exhibit certain male traits, e.g. voice, facial feature. They typically have a HUGE female fanbase. And before you jump ahead, no, the fans are very much straight women, mixed in some closet softball players. This reason behind this is above my pay grade. But apparently some women have an affinity (not necessarily sexual) for women who don't fit the traditional female "mold". The Terminator fits this mold perfectly. She hits the ball farther than most men, wears a tom boyish look and has steely cold demeanor on the course.

She is who she is and is completely satisfied with that. She doesn't feel the need to slip into some conventional mold of what is considered feminine in Korean society (but I don't think she comes across as overly masculine, either). And she is strong and butt kicking. I think a lot of young women yearn to be confident and accepted like that.

It might be as simple as what Sung Hyun says when she talks that makes her popular. We'll never know since none of us speak a word of korean.

Sung Hyun had a live feed on Instagram in the middle of the night (Pacific Time.) Of course I couldn't understand a thing she said and all of her followers statements were in Korean. A couple of times it sounded like I was listening to Barry White or James Earl Jones.
Again, nothing she does will matter unless she can sink her putts.

Continuing on my fetish obsession fascination of the Terminator..... With Amy Yang winning last week and the Terminator making her debut tomorrow, I want to raise this question: Amy Yang's winning caddie last week, Jeff King ( aka the beef jerky mogul) was the Terminator's caddie last year in all her American events. During the USWO open, FOX even did a little feature on how he communicates with SHP, using drawings and minimal English. It sure looked like they were working along well, and he is on the inside track to secure the next big time bag from Korea. But Jeff King got Amy's bag after her regular caddie, and King's good friend, David Poitevent suffered a massive heart attack. He even spearheaded a fund raising effort to cover the medical cost of his friend. He ended up caddying for Amy for the rest of last year, and looks like he got the job for good. www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/yangs-caddie-poitevent-suffers-serious-heart-attack/As we all know SHP ended up snatching Colin Cann from Paula Creamer at the end of last year, once she secured her tour card for 2017. So did SHP offer King the job before Colin Cann ? If she did, then King must have turned it down for Amy's bag. Would you rather loop for Amy or SHP ? Pros for Amy: Known to be the nicest girl around and is stable with her caddies. Top 10 machine, proven on the big tour Pros for SHP: Higher ceiling, possible #1 I guess the only way to find out is to ask Jeff King himself, which I am planning to do at Kia this year, that is, of course after I reaffirm with Michelle our marriage commitment to each other first.

Also, Amy speaks fluent English and Sung Hyun doesn't. That might be OK for a few events, but perhaps he didn't want to deal with that for an entire season?

I don't know if the Terminator is an info whore....but Colin is supposedly analysis by paralysis and that is something the Pink Diva likes. Cann could fry the Terminators circuits if he gives her too much info that is LOST IN TRANSLATION. Why she wouldn't fly her Korean caddy around is beyond me. Doesn't HJK's loop speak little English. Jeff likely just wants to stick with Amy...if he really wanted the Terminator's bag...all he had to do is ask...but maybe the Terminator doesn't like Jeff. I'm kinda surprised Jeff is slumming on the LPGA.....I'm sure he's fairly well known on the PGA....obviously his jerky isn't doing too well to continue to clean clubs and fix divots.
