Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent.

Several years ago I spent 4 days at Orange County National training center outside Orlando. There were a dozen Korean teenagers with several coaches practicing. They started at 9 am worked all day (range, short game, course) non stop and after dinner were on the putting green until 10 pm (lights out). Everyday the same routine.

Real Sports with Brian Gumble covered this exact subject a few months ago. The Korean men take huge pride in what ever business they are in. This is the main reason Samsung, Kia, Hyundai (which used to be considered junk) have made leaps and bounds in quality. They feel by working all day 7 days a week they will simply out work the competition.
Because there is very few places in the work force for Korean women the family sends the girls at grade school ages to golf mills. These are driving range and practice facilities crammed in all over south Korea.
The south Korean's look at their women golfers as an example of how they can achieve something by simply out working everyone else.
