South Korea is said to be the 3rd biggest golfing population in the world, behind only the USA and Japan.
It is thought that Golf was introduced to South Korea by a group of fanatical Englishmen in 1897.
But the success of local lass Si-Ri-Pak in winning 5 majors, including the 1998 U.S. Open, inspired the nation.
A whole new generation, including a large number of female golfers emerged.
In turn this lead to a boom in golf courses and golfing merchandise.
Every shopping complex boasts a vast choice of golf apparel and equipment.
And the courses are absolutely world class!
