Park Golf For Old People - Jinju

 Park golf was something I have never heard of, but I'm always up for something new! JinSaIWA (/jin/-/suh-/ee/-wah/) which stands for Jinju-Sacheon International Women's Association (the name we dubbed for our Tuesday International Ladies group), planned a fun-filled day for us at the Senior Welfare Facility in Jinju. That's right. It's an old person park. The Korean ladies had to check out our stuff for us because we were technically too young to be there.😆
The game has wooden clubs that are used much like putt-putt, except the ball is a lot bigger. There were 9 holes, with par 3s and par 4s.
First we all had a quick tutorial and a practice swing.
Then we were ready to go!
Jinny, Deok Soon, YoungSuk, Bock-Im, Yardena, Mb, Trish, Joanna, Lulu, Kate, Wioletta
There was a lot of rule-breaking going on, a lot of missed swings, and quite a bit of tom foolery. But we had fun!

I finally made par!
The days spent with this group are always filled with smiles and laughter.
