TEE TIME

South Korean Leader Finessing His Golf Game to Prep for Trump Meetings

Yoon Suk Yeol apparently hadn’t picked up a putt in almost eight years.

Amid mounting concerns over what a second Trump presidency holds in store for the fight against climate change, it seems tee time with foreign leaders might well promise to be the only kind of “green” diplomacy the Republican president-elect has any interest in. Perhaps with that in mind, Reuters reports South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is polishing up his golf game to prepare for potential future meetings with the incoming U.S. leader, after not picking up a putt in more than eight years. If nothing else it’ll provide the South Korean president with a fair spread of opportunities to bend Trump’s ear, given the president-elect was estimated to have played more than 260 rounds of golf, or one round every 5.6 days, during his first term.
