What they say

To be up to par

My number of strokes is just 84 at present.

I set a goal of reaching par within ten years.

I don’t think it is too high an aim to achieve.

No matter how high a mountain is, it is under the sky and you will be unable to climb even an inch of it by just seeing it.

Constant efforts will give us fresh hope, I am sure.

Song Un Chol, aged 56

Elderly amateur

Although the golf ball goes so fast when you hit, it is a sport very beneficial to the aged.

I feel pleasant and refreshing as if I have become young once again whenever I play at this Pyongyang Golf Course.

A man is really old when he thinks he is so, I think.

The number of aged visitors to the course has now increased remarkably.

I hope a larger number of old people would visit the course in the future.

Choe Kyu, aged 75

Novice golfer

At present, I make it at 120 strokes.

Attendants here and other golfers say I have made remarkable progress in just two months.

I felt hopeless two months before, but now I am confident of success.

I will train harder to prove that everyone can play golf and that very well.
