[Kim Ha-neul's FunFun Golf] 'Park In-bi's Golf Bag'

Hybrid and Iron Mixed Setup for Ballistic Problem 5
Only Two Wedges Equipped: 50 and 56 Degrees
Includes 8.5-Degree Driver and Two-Ball Putter

Today, I will share a 'light' story. It is about my same-age friend, (Park) Inbee. Recently, I took a close look at Inbee’s golf bag as she is striving to become a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Athletes’ Commission. Golfers are allowed to carry a maximum of 14 clubs in their caddy bags. Carrying fewer clubs is fine, but exceeding the limit results in a penalty.

Inbee uses two wedges. She carries a Cleveland RTX ZipCore 50-degree and 56-degree wedge (which is actually 57 degrees). Generally, golfers use three wedges, but Inbee uses only two. Around the green, she mostly takes out the 50-degree wedge. She calls herself the ‘Queen of Running Approach’ and is a genius in the ‘short game.’ That explains why she has won 7 majors and 21 total wins on the LPGA Tour, completed the career Grand Slam by winning all four major championships, and even earned an Olympic gold medal.

There is something unique about Inbee’s club setup. She carries both a 5-hybrid (XXIO 10, 23 degrees, 65S graphite) and a 5-iron. Since courses have become longer and her driving distance has decreased, she needs longer clubs. The carry distances of these two clubs are similar. She uses the 5-iron when a low trajectory with roll is needed, and chooses the 5-hybrid when she wants the ball to stop quickly on the green. She also has a 4-hybrid (XXIO 12, 20 degrees, Tensei 60R).

Her irons are from the XXIO X line, with NS Pro 950 R shafts installed from 5-iron through 9-iron. She carries two woods: 3-wood and 5-wood. Her driver is 8.5 degrees (XXIO 12, Tensei White 50R). Inbee’s greatest weapon is her putter. She carries a completely classic line two-ball putter. She tends to change putters frequently, but since winning the gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics with this putter, it has become her ‘favorite putter.’

Inbee does not change golf balls often. When she is hitting well, she sticks with the same ball. In her bag, there were also lip balm, sun cushion, chocolate, ball markers, tees, towels, a rangefinder, pencils, and pens for autographs. A 14-time winner on the Korea-Japan Tour and a sportainer
