Recently, I was shocked to learn that the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) decided to suspend members if they can't pass an oral English exam. What the heck does golf have to do with language? There are around 121 international players on the LPGA. In the LPGA 2008 top 20 money list, there are 10 Korean golfers. So, half of the golfers in the top 20 are Korean. I'll give you free English lessons. =) (By the way, Korean women are amazing at golf and archery. Maybe they excel at concentration? If someone can explain why Korean women are so good at these sports, I'd appreciate it.)
I believe you should learn things based on your interest. If you're not interested in English or other foreign languages, then don't bother. There are plenty of successful people who are not bilingual. If you love golf and spent the better part of your life honing your golf skills, good for you. This new LPGA rule is asinine.
The game of golf should be for everyone, not just English speakers.

I saw a TV program. According to the TV program, Korean's forehead is a little bit different from the others. Right side of forehead is slightly stick out more than the others, it means that they use right brain more so they are good at things that you have to do with feeling. We call it "감". I'm not sure the word "feeling" is exactly same with "감".
I can't explain all about the TV program in English ,it was about Korean's 감 and 흥. They explain why Korean is good at golf and archery with that reason.
I want you to see the program but it is Korean =(
