Supporting the Future of Golf in Jeju
Jeju Cypress Golf & Resort has partnered with the Yeonam Scholarship Foundation to provide financial support and practical opportunities for young golf players in Jeju. On the 9th, a total of 10 million won was awarded to 18 promising students from elementary, middle, and high schools. In addition to the monetary support, each recipient also received a free practice round ticket valid for one year.
The Yeonam Scholarship Foundation has been dedicated to supporting youth in Jeju by offering scholarships to high school and college students annually. This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to nurture talent and provide educational opportunities to those in need.
Through collaboration with the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Golf Association, 18 aspiring golfers were selected—six from each grade level. The selection process was based on the results of the "1st Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Superintendent Bae Jeondo Junior Golf Championship," ensuring fairness and merit-based recognition.
Kim Yoon-tae, director of the Yeonam Scholarship Association, emphasized the importance of this partnership. He stated, "We have always supported Jeju students according to the founder's vision. It is truly rewarding to see our efforts extend to promising golf players through the support of Cypress."
Cypress plans to continue its Jeju Golf Dream Tree Scholarship Project, which aims to inspire and empower young athletes. The provision of free golf round tickets is expected to offer practical training opportunities, helping participants refine their skills and pursue their passion for the sport.
