Kim Min Ju

dear golf,

fifteen years later, I’m thinking about everything you quietly gave me, from the countless class absences to the dehydration, the brutal tan lines, and 10+ hour days walking under a relentless sun… and of course, the post-round sushi dinners that somehow made it all feel worth it.

but beyond the grind, you gave me something deeper.

you taught me discipline when no one was watching. patience when nothing was going my way. you introduced me to people who raised my standards.

as I step into a new chapter, I realize the real lessons were never about the score, but about growing alongside others, showing up for each other, and becoming better for it…

one swing at a time.

much love,
Kristen Min Ju Kim 🤍
