I’ll write more about this in future, but now in a nutshell, we had to take a boring four day long tour from a sight to sight in and around Pyongyang, and were not allowed to go absolutely nowhere by ourselves. We had three guides with us all the time, guards would be better title for them though. Last day we played 18 holes at Pyongyang Golf Club, and surprisingly I failed in breaking Kim Jong-il’s course record ;)
The course was nice though but compared to the western standards in a poor condition. My backyard’s grass is much faster than Pyongyang GC’s greens were. But it didn’t matter, it was all about experience. Too bad we couldn’t use GameBook there – we were not allowed to take phones with us over the NK’s border. For more about, check out this CNN’s article.
And there’s more…
Oh, and triathlon. I competed almost 10 years and wish I’d still be in that physical condition. Unfortunately it’s only a golden memory these days – but one thing I have promised to myself:
I will run a marathon under 3 hours and play 18 holes under par after that.
Keep watching how the project is proceeding from the GameBook’s Clubhouse. See ya all there – and you all are free to send a friend request to me. Glad to connect!
