[Golf Photo] Yusonggyu Hole-in-One... "Received 10,000 Bottles of Bacchus"

Yoo Song-gyu is posing after receiving 10,000 bottles of Dong-A Pharmaceutical's flagship product, Bacchus, as a hole-in-one prize. On the 17th, at the 11th hole (par 3, 192 yards) of the first round of the Korean Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Tour The Charity Classic held at Seolhaewon Country Club in Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do, he experienced the luck of his tee shot with a 6-iron ball being sucked into the hole. The ball landed on the green, bounced once, and then disappeared into the hole. This was Yoo Song-gyu's first hole-in-one on the KPGA Tour.


At the 11th hole, 10,000 bottles of Bacchus were offered as the hole-in-one prize. Dong-A Pharmaceutical is the main affiliate of Dong-A Socio Holdings, the organizer of the tournament. Yoo Song-gyu said, "I drank one bottle of Bacchus placed on the 11th hole tee box, and it really woke me up." Although the price of 10,000 bottles of Bacchus is about 6 million won, it is enough to fill the cargo bed of a 1-ton truck. Yoo Song-gyu smiled and said, "It would be nice to donate some and leave some at the restaurant my mother runs to give to customers." [Photo courtesy of KPGA]
