Indoor golf practice

Indoor golf practice

Kim Dongchul practises at the all-weather driving range run by his uncle, Kim Sung Yup. A Korean businessman who has lived in Wellington since 1986, Kim Sung Yup opened his driving range in Lyall Bay in 1994. Many Koreans play golf, and some youngsters are among New Zealand’s most promising players.
