The ONE Asia tour comes back to Seoul this week, at the Sky 72 Golf Club right next to Incheon airport. It is a 72 hole (four separate courses) layout and quite a contrast to Nam Seoul CC of two weeks back.
Where Nam Seoul was tree lined, Sky 72 is open, and the design is modern, perhaps some would suggest even American in style. In great condition too, so the players are going to have some fun here this week.
Note in the first picture ( player teeing off the 230m par 3 12th hole) the bum packs that I note a lot of Korean players wear during their practice rounds. This is to carry the range finders that most use, as the Korean tournaments do not have a detailed yardage book of the type that is common on major tours around the world.
It is an element that has caught a lot of the overseas players by surprise, and is certainly something that needs to be addressed for ONE Asia to establish itself as a major force in world golf moving forward.
