The feast of the ‘11,000 people’ gathering field, full of things to see and enjoy
The spring golf party was hot. With the temperature approaching 30 degrees and the breathing of about 11,000 people, the perceived temperature felt higher.
This is the second round of the Korea Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) Korean Tour NH Investment & Securities Ladies Championship held at the Suwon Country Club (par 72) in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do on the 13th.

It is possible to enter on foot from the surrounding housing complex, and it is also convenient to use a car because it is close to the highway. Giheung Station on the Bundang Suwon Line is also right in front of the golf course.
