Having a hell of a time finding anyone that supplies left handed golf clubs in Deajeon. Or Korea for that matter.

Can anyone help me out?

Cheers.

(Seems weird as lefties clubs are probably manufactured here in Asia -Japan to be sure - and shipped to the market in the US and Australasia.

What planet am I on?
When I read the title, I thought it was the social sort of club, but I was imagining the sort of club that ogres use.

I'm a lefty too.

You're goin to golf? That's a little pricy here. If you golf every weekend, we're talking 4-600,000/month from what I heard.

Here in Daejeon also. One of my former students gave me a set of Diawa used left-handed clubs about 4 months ago. Have no idea where he got them. Anyway, he disappeared a couple of months ago so now I have no one to play golf with.

He played regularly at a couple of country clubs around Daejeon. He told me the average cost was 80k for green fees (18 holes) and 80k for caddy fee (You must hire a caddy).

I'm working at 3 different places these days and really don't have time to take-up gold again. Give me a pm maybe we can work something out.

No offense taken that you have sick and depraved minds. Golf clubs to get a date back to my cave? Don't you know that an oak log works best?

Cost. yeah, over the moon. But I hear some of the caddies are pretty hot Wink

I'm just looking to go to golf houses and driving ranges. A real game will remain some distant mirage while in the land of mourning calm.

Thanks for the help.

If you go to a golf simulator, they will likely have clubs for you to use, driving ranges, some do some don't.

Buying golf clubs in Korea is rather expensive it seems if your not going to play.

Golf green fees seem to be decreasing here in KOrea a little, depending on the location.

I am playing next weekend here in Jeollanam do with a co teacher. 80,000 won includes fees, rental clubs and a caddy. Thats not much more than you would pay at higher end clubs in NA. Hope this course is at least decent.

I am thinking of sending my clubs over from Canada. If you have clubs at home, that would likely be cheaper than buying here.
