Inbee Park is doing more than quietly healing in her time away from the game.
She’s regenerating.
There is something rejuvenating about carrying around an Olympic gold medal for three months, because that’s exactly what Park did upon returning to South Korea last summer, where she received a hero’s welcome upon returning from Rio de Janeiro.
“The whole three months I was back home in Korea, and everywhere I went, everyone wanted to see it,” Park told GolfChannel.com. “So, I’ve been carrying my gold medal wherever I go.”
When Park finally left her South Korean home late last year, she handed the prize to her father, who keeps it safe in a trophy room at his Korean company.
