His animosity towards any player of Korean descent is becoming clearer with every passing day. That makes me question his allegations against Young Kim from April. Larry never replied to my email. By now anything Larry writes on the Korean golfers,(and I’ve been critical in the past about them when deserving. The Wies included.) has to be questioned before being taken as fact. [...]

Cheating is rare, that’s why you find so few incidents. The hallmark of golf is a player calling a penalty on himself. I’ve seen that multiple times, cheating seldom.

Korean player have not been popular on the tour because their names are difficult to pronounce, they don’t speak English well if at all, and they don’t seem to have personalties to distinguish one from the others. I understand they don’t get along well with other tour players.

That said, none of the above has anything to do with qualifying on the LPGA tour. It scoreboard that counts and the Korean contingent has many victories.

Their cultural background may prevent them from being more personable. It certainly hurts their sponsorship and endorsement prospects.

Cheating is a matter of honor. The Korean culture is steeped in honor and protecting the family name.

I see no benefit for a caddie to make allegations. What is his upside? To preserve the game, he must call his player or an opponent on a cheating violation. Whether he’s correct or not, I think most players would be reluctant to choose a caddie with a tell-all web site.
