Lee Siwoo's special lesson - if your father is a national golf coach
Blog Article
Bae So-hyun (31), who won three games this year, learned golf from his father, Bae Won-yong, a former coach of the national standing army, who ran an indoor practice range. If your father is a national golf coach, you will think of two things: "How well did he learn?" and "How did he live because he was suffocated?"
Coach Lee Si-woo remembered the year 2018 when Bae first came to learn how to play golf. "I thought if my father was teaching golf to the standing army of the national team, there would be a lot of requests for him. However, it was impressive that he didn't say a single word about golf swing and politely said hello and left."
Around that time, Bae So-hyun's father started fighting against the disease. Bae So-hyun, who was 24 years old at the time, made her KLPGA first-division tour debut in 2017, but went down to the second-division tour in 2019. His father, who had been battling brain tumors for a year and a half, sadly passed away that year.
My father wanted his daughter to become a golfer, but he left it up to her to decide. "My father taught me on the way, so I knew I would play shots, but I never practiced properly. I was worried that I would get tired of playing golf too early, so when I was young, I turned on golf broadcasts and made him practice occasionally, exposing myself to golf. There was a time when he cut the adult golf club short and made me use the grip. I liked other sports more than golf, so I also played Taekwondo and track and field. When I was in 9th grade, my parents wanted me to do it, and I thought I could do well, so I decided on my career as a golfer with the intention of giving it a try." 온라인바카라
He chose to take the GED instead of going to high school, and started practicing with his father from morning to night. Bae, who had no experience in junior or amateur golf competitions, participated in a golf competition for the first time in 2011 at the Protest. Bae, who won the Jump (Part 3) Tour event in October that year, played in the 2nd and 3rd parts of the tour until 2016. "I believed in my father's words that I could do well after becoming a professional," Bae said.
Bae's father was a talented player who won the college championship as an amateur. Since then, however, Bae failed to advance to the professional stage due to wide gap with players who were good at it due to physical conditions. With her father's death, her daughter's outlook on life has also changed. "Since there may be no future, I have come to think that I should do my best and not dwell too much on the outcome," Bae said.
"When my father was sick, I thought I should show my daughter what she's doing well, so I kept practicing more. It was even harder if it didn't work out. After my death, I decided to prioritize my life again. Now, I try to find delicious food, eat fun things with my mom, and spend the most precious time together."
Bae So-hyun is said to have begun to gain competitiveness on his own by watching coach Lee Si-woo and the players learning together.
"Lee helped me grow by presenting the next steps whenever I took a step forward. I observed players like Ko Jin-young and Park Hyun-kyung that I learned together, analyzed them in my own way, and asked questions. Good players have something in common. I know for sure what I lack and how I will focus on training. There are many things to learn in everyday life."
