Day2 Jun 23



Day 2 was at Halla san country Club. This is a Japanese designed course and had a lot more features and challenging to play, albeit shorter. We played with a 6 handicapper Mr. Kim (centre), who owns 松島 カラオケ クラブ (Matsushima Karaoke Club)in Jeju. He gave us a lot of pointers on set-up and putting. I managed to outdrive him on the last 340yd par 4, where I hit about 300yds, just a few yeards ahead of him. We both parred the hole.





All in all, a very enjoyable and enlightening day of golf to play with a single handicapper.






Last day lunch was 太刀魚 鍋 "tachiuo nabe" in spicy Korean sauce. It was a vey bony and there is a proper way to debone it. It came cooked with daikon and potato. Its supposed to give stamina and energy...







The dish was accompanied by the usual Korean side dishes. We had some light Hite beer to cool down before heading to the airport and home.

Airport was only 15mins away so we had sometime to shop and enjoy a cuppa coffee. Duty free shopping included 五目茶 (gojicha) or omija in Korean and ゆず (yuzu) drink concentrate. Both are local produce in Jeju.   

After that it was boarding on KE flight back to Narita. Onboard, the Korean CA was pretty! A certain Ms. Lee in particular...
