The full English name of the place is Ferrum Club Urban Fairway. On a direct line, it's about 75 km SE of Seoul. The "clubhouse" looks like a corporate conference and R&R center, which seems common among most of the KLPGA venues. This blog link has many pictures: cafe.naver.com/charmzonegolf/817Since golf is relatively new to Korea, they probably don't have many brick & wood dumps like this:   |

They need to try something.
Neither has played that well lately.
You can add Min Sun5 Kim to the list also.
Maybe they will cease the opportunity with In Gee and Jin Young missing.

Gyeol Park knows that Koreans aren't allowed to play in the Solheim Cup, right? The face paint isn't going to help her.

Pulling for Min Sun5 Kim to win.
Would not be unhappy if Jung Min Lee won.
Probably watch it late night, because college football on tonight.

OH MY GOSH, SHARON IS IN A PLAYOFF!!! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!!!! I'm glad I got up an hour early just in case... They started with four players and they're down to two, Ahn and Yeon Jeong Seo...both just stuffed their wedges close on the Par-5 18th...both made birdies, back to the tee. This hole is too easy for a playoff...this could last forever, both just jammed it close for birdie attempts again. Wow, Shin Ae is a lot closer. Yikes, Seo just barely missed from about nine feet and Sharon just made her kick-in!!!! Not a huge crowd at #18, but if you look at a map, this location is more remote than the Moon. Kyeong Bae is having a few words with the winner...it's always great to see KB...she doesn't do all the KLPGA tourneys, I don't know why. I take back my evil thoughts of this event being a Fake Major! I wonder if Sharon will try to move up her timetable to play the LPGA. I could really help her out on how to play the Seaview. The ceremony is over and they're playing the long version of the Omega song...yuck! I love the smell of beer in the morning...it smells like...victory.   Now I'm waiting for the second leg of the trifecta in Japan to start in about ten minutes. Update: phooey, they're starting with the OneAsia tour first.

Round 4: Shin Ae Ahn Storms to Shocking Come-From-Behind Win
At the start of round 4, Min Young Lee, Jung Min Lee and Min Sun Kim 5, three of the biggest names on the KLPGA, were all right in the hunt for the win. Meanwhile, far behind them was the tour's glamour girl, Shin Ae Ahn. But Ahn has shown signs of her returning to form here and there this season, and on Sunday, she had the best round of golf she had had in several years. She shot a scintillating 5 under par 67, the best score of the day by anyone, to post an 8 under total. Ahn then had to wait more than an hour to see if one of the other former leaders could top it.  How good was Ahn's day? Only four players were under par on Sunday, and only one other shot in the 60s.  The other had their chances. At one point, Min Sun Kim was at 11 under, but struggled with three straight bogies at the turn and a crushing double on 17 and wound up shooting a 75.  Min Young Lee made a birdie on her final hole to move into a tie with Ahn and Yeun Jung Seo at the top.  Yeun Jung Seo  As regulation wound down, Jung Min Lee was the only player who could break the logjam. One over par on her day as she approached 18, she was also tied at 8 under and needed a birdie on the par 5 to win outright. But she could not manage it, and so a four-way playoff resulted.  Ahn eventually won the playoff, but it took four holes to do it. On the first hole, all four players made par, with Min Young Lee just barely missing a fifteen foot birdie try. On the second go through (all playoff holes were played on 18), Shin Ae stiffed her approach for an easy birdie, and only Seo was able to match her to extend the fun. On the third try, both players hit great irons to a few feet to match birdies. On hole #4, Seo went first, hitting another gem to about 7 feet. Ahn followed, striping her iron to about a foot. Pressure was on Seo, who missed her birdie, giving Ahn a virtual tap in for her first win in 5 years. Ahn joins Sung Hyun Park and In Gee Chun as Major winners on tour in 2015.   You can watch the highlights here! Congratulation to Shin Aen 'Sharon' Ahn on a phenomenal, totally unexpected victory!  Scores: 1. Shin Ae Ahn 67 -8 *won in playoff 2. Min Young Lee 74, Jung Min Lee 73, Yeun Jung Seo 72 -8 5. Hye Rim Kim 72 -7 Notables: 6. Shin Hyun Ahn 73, Min Sun Kim 5 75 -6 9. Seung Hyun Lee 73 -4 13.

Congratulation to Shin Ae for her Major win.
She won on a course that was actually set up as a major.
Not like the bought major with par fives set up like long par fours.
The greens were also really tough.
Min Sun5 Kim is another story.
I remember her finishing like she did in another tournament.
W here she had the lead.
She started three putting, and hit a ball in the water.
Maybe she should go to Q-School,
Her wayward shots and long drives will fit the well, on the LPGA Tour.
