I get bored when a player is mostly a long hitter and nothing else. However, I feel like several of the long hitters on the KLPGA are multi-dimensional, which makes them more fun to watch.

I may have phrased that wrong about not being a fan of long drivers of the ball. Just not a fan only because of how far they drive the ball. Because I definitely like watching the great golfers You Min Hwang, Shin Sil Bang and Ina Yoon.
I just prefer great ball strikers like Jin Young Ko and Hee Jeong Lim better. Even thou their ball striking is a little off right now.
It's what first attracted me to, So Yeon Ryu was her great ball striking, also her personality and charm.

ANWA has a definite fog problem and sometimes rain. Tee times will always be adjusted at Champions Retreat.
The KLPGA started on time this morning. Scoring after an hour and a half looks like WIND, which is a signature feature of Jeju Island.

Looks like SBS will still be showing golfers name in Korean not English like the previous Tournaments. I guess that's the KLPGA preference although I don't understand why. I actually can understand most of the Korean names and players.

Very interesting leaderboard after round 1. Ina looked decent despite the long layoff; she hit a lot of quality shots, usually was in the fairway or close, and gave herself more than a few good birdie chances. She could have easily been 4 or 5 under had a few more of those close ones fallen. Here is a video showing her as she first came out:
I stopped watching before this below stuff happened on the final hole. Ina was in trouble off the tee, but got out of it.
But she avoided this type of thing for the most part. The only other time I recall this happening was when she hit a drive on one hole that hit the top of a golf cart off the fairway with a large CRACK, bounce onto the car path, rolled over a bridge and left her about 30 yards from the green in some dodgy grass. Ended up with birdie.

The SBS 2 Broadcast here I think before last year or year before had the players name in English. Also the Leaderboard was in English

Hee Jeong Lim had a front nine of three bogeys, no birdies. Did better on the back nine with three birdies and a three putt bogey on par three seventeen. Her greens in regulation were four for four on par threes and par fives, seventy percent on par fours. It was all about her not making putts.
Min Byeol Kim was minus three when she made the turn. But they only showed her two times missing makeable putts.
But they kept showing that Hyun Kyung Park who all she did was make long putts. I still don't understand the fascination with her, it's sure not her personality. Oh yeah, I know why but I will keep it to myself.

The YouTube stream has their names in English and English leaderboard.
The KLPGA website has their names in English.
Starting yesterday, the KLPGA website has video highlights baked into the leaderboard for each hole.
I know the English broadcast last year switched the players names around to the correct way; family name first.
I don't understand the complaint of a Korean broadcast using the Korean language.

Park Hyun-kyung is popular.
But even if she wasn’t, she's won 2 majors and consistently made the cut and consistently played well enough to be near the top of the money list.
Unlike, many other golfers who regularly miss cuts and have to suffer through hell week to re-qualify for the KLPGA tour, Hyun-kyung performs at a consistent higher level.
This is also the very beginning of the 2024 tour. As such broadcasting focuses on players with proven track records for their broadcasts or in the case of Ina, someone in the news.
Personally, Ina doesn't need a massive camera crew following her around. Maybe other players should throw their clubs in the water and yell to get attention and camera crews following them around. We don't need to bless Hite with extra broadcast time due to the behavior of their golfer. Ina should have been ignored.

I wasn't complaining about Korean broadcast using Korean names. I was just wondering why they changed on SBS 2 which used to have English names that is streamed in the US. I am sure that their Broadcast streaming in Korea has always used Korean name.
Not sure who you are talking about missing cuts and hanging on their cards. I really hope that it is not Hee Jeong Lim that has five wins and two Majors. She had a down year in 2023 because she was recovering from an injury. Has a lot more fans and won most popular two years in a row. Yet she doesn't get the attention in the pairing that she deserves. By the way, I stand by my statement of why they are so fascinated with Hyun Kyun Park.

A popular player being suspended like she was and then returning is an unprecedented situation generating tons of fan and media interest. Of course they shouldn't ignore it. That's silly.
