'Golf Empress' Park Inbee beat the LPGA Tour ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open, which ended in Adelaide, Australia on the 16th. Park Inbee, who achieved 20 wins in the women's professional golf (LPGA) tour, raised the green light to win the Tokyo Olympic Games by eleventh in the world rankings.

Golf first appeared at the 2nd Olympic Games in Paris, France, in 1900. It was held from October 2 to 3 at the Compiegne Golf Course in Paris, France, where 12 men, 10 women and 22 players from four countries participated.

The men's solo match was played on the 2nd of October with 36 hole stroke play, and the women's solo game was played on the 3rd of October, 9 hole stroke play. Margaret Ebbott, a member of the Chicago Golf Club, won 47 women's gold medals. Nowadays, players who are not even 'viewers' have won the first Olympic golf champion. Golf's winning trophy at this time was pottery, not medals.

After the Olympics, golf disappeared from the Olympic stage. The Olympic Games were again selected for the Olympic Games in 2016, as many as 116 years later.In the historic event, 'Golf Empress' Park Inbee showed her overwhelming performance, beating gold medals over New Zealand's Korean Lydia Go and China's Fengshan Mountain. .

Women's Golf is a bullish event where we are aiming to win two consecutive games at the Tokyo Olympics. In golf, the so-called 'compatibility' of players and courses is very important. Golf Emperor Tiger Woods has won eight of the Torrey Pines golf courses in California, USA, and there are some golf courses that suit him well.

The Tokyo Olympic Golf Games are held at Kasumigaseki Country Club, an hour's drive from downtown Tokyo. Opened in 1929, the golf course first opened its 18 hole course. Three years later, in 1932, the 18th hole was opened. Japan's first 36-hole course is the Kasumiseki Country Club, one of Japan's most prestigious clubs.
For more than 90 years, the golf course has hosted many national and international competitions. Hideki Matsuyama, currently Japan's top male golfer, lifted the Asian Flax Championship Cup here in 2010. What made the place more famous was the November 2017 golf meeting between President Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Abe. President Trump ate his favorite style of burgers during the round, and Kasumigaseki Golf Club later selected the Trump Hamburger as the official menu and began offering it to the public.
It was a golf course with good memories for Trump, but Abe only styled it. Abe threw the ball into the 1st hole fairway bunker, struck a ball in the bunker, then hurried out of the bunker to follow President Trump and fell back to the bunker. In addition, the happening that the hat which was worn while falling down came off.
I talked with Koshi Masao, the public relations chairman of this historic golf course, as he toured the course, the Olympic venue. Regarding the characteristics of the course, he gave a detailed explanation.

"I am very honored that our golf course has been selected as an Olympic course and I am pleased that top players from Japan and around the world will be able to play on our course. The overall feature of this course is that it is usually flat and treey. Based on the data from the Japan Junior Championships, the par 4 18th hole is the hardest and the par 4 9th hole is the next most demanding. The putting is likely to cover the medal color because the green's undulation is severe. ”
Par 4 Hole 18 is 500 yards based on the black tee played by male players. For women, it's not clear how to set it, but it's likely to be over 420 yards. The battlefield is long and slightly bent to the right, with a large hazard next to the green. So the second shot seems pretty difficult. Assuming a female player hits 250 yards for a drive shot, there are 170 yards left and the ball must be well placed on the green surrounded by hazards and bunkers.
The par 4 and 9 hole also has a long battlefield and a high jaw bunker in front of the green. It was about the same height as a regular female athlete, but if you put a pin directly behind the bunker, the save would not be easy.
The par 3-10 hole, where the late nineth hole begins, is also a match. It was said that this hall was the most difficult until the course was renovated three years ago. There is a large hazard in front of the green, a bunker with a high jaw, and a two-green green, which makes it easy to see.
The analysis of Park Se-ri, the national team manager who visited the course in July last year, was not much different from Masao Koshi. In an interview with SBS, Park Se-ri said, "It is similar to a Korean golf course and the course itself is not that difficult, but the green slope is so severe that the game will be covered on the green. In the end, putting accuracy is more demanding than any competition." .
Park said, “The sense of distance will be important especially when green speed is fast.” In other words, if you have a long putt of more than 10m, you are likely to commit 3 putts if your speed is faster than the second green. Knowing the green speed correctly and not committing three putts is the key to winning. In fact, I rolled the ball from the green and the green was so sensitive that the ball came out of the hole even if the putting was inaccurate even within a short distance.
In sum, Park Se-ri and Chairman PR Koshi Masao said, in order to win, you have to understand the curves and speeds of the green and make a fine putting with an excellent sense of distance. Given this nature of the course, players who are more accurate than long hitters are more likely to win gold. In other words, it would be very advantageous if the world ranking Ko Jin-young and Rio Olympic champion Park Inbee participated.

The Tokyo Olympic Golf status will be hidden by the end of June in the world rankings, where up to four of the top 15 players can compete. As of the 19th, Ko Jin-young ranked first, Park Sung-hyun third, Kim Se-young sixth, Lee Jung-eun nineth, and Park In-bi 11th. For Park Inbee, although he came in 15th in the world rankings, he is fifth among Korean athletes, so he needs to beat one Korean athlete to enter the Tokyo Olympics.

Golf experts foresee that South Korean players, who are called the strongest corps, and Japanese players who have the advantage of home courses, will compete in pride at the Tokyo Olympic Women's Golf.
