Default Koreans Love Golf

[QUOTE=perrjojo;882797]It's true that there is not much ethnic diversity here but there is certainly a lot of cultural diversity. We have residents from all backgrounds and all parts of the country. We all have different customs and ways of thinking. I have no idea why there is not more ethnic diversity because they would be welcomed here. Maybe it's because golf is our major draw and golf seems to be more of an Anglo sport. Certainly others play but not in the same numbers[/QUOTEI\\

I lived in Southern Calf. for over forty years and in an area with a large Korean population. The koreans were very evident at the local golf courses. In the 80's and early 90's I can remember visiting a driving range that was double decker and lighted. Betweem 8:00 and 10:00 P.M. it would be full with about 80-90% being young Koreans. I think when that generation retires many will call TV home.
