Golf is difficult even for baseball legends.

Park Yong-taek, Lee Dae-ho, and Kim Tae-kyun were former professional baseball legends who need no explanation. The three former franchise stars of "One Club Man" are superstars whose permanent numbers are engraved in LG, Lotte, and Hanwha, respectively.

The Legendary Three Musketeers took on a different challenge with golf instead of baseball.




On the 14th, a day before the opening of the SK Telecom Open 2025, the Three Musketeers teamed up to challenge golf legend Choi Na-yeon, Kim Ha-neul and Lee Bo-mi at the Charity Open held at Finx GC in Seogwipo, Jeju.

The three baseball legends took on a great challenge with their slugging power.

But golf was not easy. He succeeded in sending driver tee shots farther than golf legends, but that was it.




There was no way to beat the three female golf legends, who put accuracy ahead of them from iron shots to approach putts.

The result was actually already set. He was a tough opponent to overcome unless he intentionally played loose.

It was difficult to play according to the strict rules of the professional competition, but it was a valuable experience.

Kim Tae-kyun also showed off a great shot by setting up near the hole with a great approach after dropping by the rules at the rough slope around the green. Of course, it was Kim Tae-kyun's first time playing the round according to the professional rules. I didn't know it was that tricky, I was surprised, but I felt good because I approached it well in that situation," he said with a smile.

Park Yong-taek said, "In the first hole, Tae-kyun and I had a tee shot that went deep into the rough, and Tae-kyun said to me, 'Hey, are you playing without leaving this out?' He asked, laughing. "It was so much fun," he reiterated.

The charm of golf that is different from baseball. It is a good hobby to enjoy after retirement.

Lee Dae-ho said, `It's fun for the ball to go farther than baseball, but it doesn't seem easy. There are times when we really hit it off and sometimes we don't hit it off, but it's golf that doesn't improve quickly. And I feel a lot that golf is something that I shouldn't be greedy about.'

Unlike baseball, Park Yong-taek, who showed off his long shot with a huge swing speed with his right hand, said, `If golf were a job, it wouldn't have been really fun"There's nothing really at your disposal like that. There were times when baseball was up to us...," he said with a smile.

Kim Tae-kyun said, `Golf seems to have an unexpected charm. I think there's a charm that makes me feel good when I come to the rounding and kick the blanket when I go home, so I can do the next thing again."
