George P. Johnson - Korea

For the past couple of years, GPJ Korea has been delivering a golf tournament event in Korea for one of our global clients from Dubai, speaking of which, did you know the modern day of golf may have originated in the 15th century in Scotland, however, the game's true origins can be traced all the way back to the Roman game of paganica, where participants use a bent stick to hit a leather ball? 🏌️♂️ It is believed that it spread through Europe when the Romans conquered most of the continent. However, some believe that Chiuwan, a Chinese game played between the 8th and 14th centuries, was actually the father of modern golf. In a Ming Dynasty scroll from 1368, there appears to be a depiction of what looks like modern golf. The dedication of the month of August to National Golf Month was established in 1993 by the Professional Golfer's Association to promote golf as a family-friendly sport and to encourage more people to give it a try. Let's celebrate the rich history and joy of golf this month, embracing its tradition and welcoming new enthusiasts to the game. #NationalGolfMonth #GolfHistory #FamilyFriendly #PlayGolf #ExperienceEverything #GPJKorea #GPJKR

Did you know that World Friendship Day, also known as International Day of Friendship, takes place on July 30th? Originally conceived by Hallmark cards in the 1930s, the day has evolved beyond its commercial origins. While it faded in the USA by the mid-1940s, many Asian countries embraced the idea, celebrating friendships and the exchange of gifts. The first official World Friendship Day was proposed on July 30, 1958, by the World Friendship Crusade, promoting peace through friendship. In 2011, the United Nations General Assembly declared July 30th as the International Day of Friendship. Today, with the rise of social media, celebrations have gone global, fostering community activities and bringing together people from diverse backgrounds. Let's take this day to cherish our friends and promote a culture of peace and understanding! #ExperienceEverything #GPJKorea #GPJKR #WorldFriendshipDay
