Additionally, KLPGA and KPGA professionals will serve as coaches for the talents. Applications and detailed information will be announced through the CLUB D website.

Governor Gu In-mo said, “I hope this program becomes a beautiful and precious opportunity for many local youths to experience golf, develop their talents, and nurture their dreams.”
