Omiseop, Gwangju Seo-gu Council Member, Urges Additional Park Golf Course Development

Oh Miseop, a member of the Gwangju Seo-gu Council, announced on the 9th that he urged the additional establishment of park golf courses in the district through a 5-minute free speech at the 1st plenary session of the 311th extraordinary meeting.

Councilor Oh stated, “Compared to other autonomous districts, our district's facilities are insufficient,” and added, “We need to create a foundation where residents can enjoy joyful daily lives through the additional establishment of park golf courses.”

Park golf is a compound word of ‘Park’ and ‘Golf,’ a communication sport where families and friends hit the ball and compete together. It is gaining popularity as it does not require much equipment or time, and consequently, the demand for park golf courses is increasing.

Seo-gu has a 9-hole course in Deokheung-dong, but the number of holes is insufficient, and users experience inconvenience due to inadequate electrical and convenience facilities.

Accordingly, Councilor Oh proposed the addition of 9 holes to the Deokheung-dong park golf course during a meeting with Gwangju Mayor Kang Gi-jung in February.

Councilor Oh concluded his remarks by saying, “I will closely discuss and work together with the city hall and fellow council members to establish additional park golf courses,” and “I hope Seo-gu Office will actively take the lead for the healthy and happy lives of 290,000 Seo-gu residents.”
