Later generations praise Bobby Jones, who died in 1971 at the age of 69, calling him "球" meaning a golfing saint.

He is the only golfer who has achieved the Grand Slam in the history of golf. Jones started the De Amateur Championship in May 1930 when he was 28, then won the four major championships in a year including The Open in June, the U.S. Open in July, and the U.S. Amateur in September. He was an amateur, not a professional.

His surprise announcement of his retirement less than two months after completing the great feat is also an indispensable event of his movie-like golf life. After boldly throwing out the top spot, he devoted his life to leaving a great legacy of golf: the Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament, also called the "Myeonginyeoljeon."

There is a person who wants to resemble Jones. They are Chammaru Construction Co., Ltd., a legendary golfer, and Jeong Hwan, 63, a representative of dreamers and the strongest amateur golfer. His golf career is so spectacular that he can hardly keep his mouth shut.

A total of 42 times (including four wins overseas) were won at amateur competitions at home and abroad. Starting with Yangju CC in 2001, club championships, which are the dream of weekend golfers, have been listed 38 times in eight golf courses, including Seoul CC and New Korea CC. This is the Guinness World Record for the most wins for a club champion.
㈔By establishing "Buddy Association of Love" with the Korea Mid-Amateur Golf Federation, he is spearheading the right golf culture. Since 2010, he has been supporting the "Chammaru Construction Cup" Korea Mid-Amateur Golf Championship, the 32nd national title competition.

He is also the main sponsor of the Korean Professional Golfers Association (KPGA) Champions Tour Chammaru Construction Senior Open. It is the only competition among senior competitions where green blood is provided to all participants.

When this reporter met him before the opening of the Korean Mid-Amateur Golf Championship, he asked why he didn't turn pro. "I was asked that question a lot. When I was young, there were many people who actually proposed professional turns," he said. "As a businessman, I thought that my role was different. Instead, I decided to play golf, which is my theory, and contribute to the development of amateur golf when I have the opportunity, so I will remain an amateur forever."

In 1993, when he was 30, Jeong-hwan first started golfing. He was recommended by his eldest brother to help his business. An all-around sportsman who represented volleyball and soccer sports schools in elementary, middle and high schools, he became the perfect single golfer a year after entering golf.

"I liked all kinds of sports since I was a student, but I fell in love with them and started playing golf," he said. "Golf has become my life sport. It is not just for physical fitness and health care. I learned many things in my life through golf," he praised golf.

Then, what has Chung learned from golf? Chung said firmly that he has the power to control himself and the ability to control himself objectively. As a result, he changed his hot-tempered personality to suppress his emotions and be considerate of others.

Considering her unrivalled golf career, she would have no shortage, at least when it comes to golf. It was unexpected, however. She is still hungry. That's why she says she can't stop challenging herself.

"I can't help but make mistakes while playing. Every time I do that, I look back on my golf. Of course, I always feel lacking," he said. "There is no question that golf is an endlessly challenging sport. That's why I'm humbled in front of golf and why I'm continuing my challenge," he said.

Such a series of challenges have led to his rise to the club championship title 38 times, the highest level among weekend golfers. Having acquired a certain level of golf skills, I now have the desire to compete with others. And that has led to Jung Hwan breaking the club championship title.

The fact that he won the throne 100 percent in the first challenge among 38 club champions is also the only real record he holds. "After becoming the first Yangju CC champion, I set my goal to become the No. 1 Korean club champion," Chung said. "I became the Yangju CC and Lakewood CC champions in 2016, and was able to break the record (24 times) held by the Jongmin Lee champion."

"I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment in the process of breaking the record I set. Whenever I do that, I feel very proud because I think that I am a very decent golfer," he said. "I will continue to challenge myself to the extent that I can."

This is why he still spends a lot of time practicing golf and exercising his physical strength. As a result, the average driving distance of 260 yards is still relatively easy. Thorough self-management, which is close to asceticism, must also play a role. This is the 30th year that Chairman Chung has not eaten tobacco and alcohol.

Support and consideration from family members are also an indispensable source of so-called "Jeonghwan Golf." Golf is a communication channel for these families. He is also a perfect single as his wife learned how to play golf early on. Yoon is a professional golfer in the KPGA tour. His daughter Da-hee, who graduated from Columbia University, also had a professional career in the U.S. and is now in Korea.

For this reason, Chung became a preacher of the family-centered golf culture, which is slowly gaining popularity in Korea. "It is a huge gift to share common denominator of golf with family members and to have a time to enjoy a round and interact with each other," Chung said. "Golf life with family is more than a blessing."

He has been making efforts to develop golf including fostering young players. "I learned life, met good people, and received help from businesses through golf," Chung said. "I will continue to make more efforts to share what I gained from golf with others." 카지노

This is why he is actively supporting the senior professional golf tour by fostering young golf dreamers, holding mid-amazoo golf tournaments, and supporting the senior professional golf tour.
