Hee Young Park

Started playing golf at age 11 and credits her father as the individual who most influenced her career. When she's not playing golf, Hee Young likes yoga, shopping and visits to the spa. Really enjoys traveling to Thailand for its shopping, warm weather, food and Thai massages. Says her favorite club is her driver and if she could go anywhere for a day, would pick the beach and stay under an umbrella.
