So this is interesting: Hyun Ju Yoo recently recorded an appearance as a "course manager", presumably for video golf? Anyways, it's funny watching her do the reactions in front of a green screen, then seeing them in the game. https://www.instagram.com/p/C1B2xOyJxmQ

Ping had a kickoff in Tokyo this week for its G430 MAX 10K driver with Ai Suzuki and ex-Mariner pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma.
Suzuki, currently #79 on Rolex, wants to play Lancaster this year, which was the site of her first overseas major in 2015 (finished T-32, but I don't remember her there).
Iwakuma raved about his 318.9 yard drive on the launch monitor ... his lifetime best before that was about 300.

There is still human civilization on Maui after the big fire ... Shibuno Fever was there earlier this week for an Adidas golf attire event.

The guy is Kanoa Igarashi ... won the silver medal for surfing at the 2020 Olympics and will compete at the 2024 games ... no, they won't be surfing on the Seine, but at the French territory of Tahiti. Don't know how Sakura-chan is connected to these facts ... maybe she'll be waiting on the beach to towel him off.

Sky and Winbee plugging the 13th generation of "Zeksio" ... both are legends in their own way, but really, are there any young Korean pros using the Sumitomo Empire's poser brand? Btw, did a lookup on Getty for Minjee Lee ... she won Blue Bay in 2016 with a XXIO driver ... she won Volvik LPGA in 2018 with a XXIO driver ... then she grew up and switched to Srixon in 2019.

More KLPGA Rookies. This video features Da Eun Kim in the first part, trying to handle an early morning wake up call, then Cherry Lim + Dong Eun Lee in the second part. Should be fun watching them on tour this year!
