South Korea’s President Lee Myung-bak has told officials to give up golf for the moment because it sends the wrong signal just as the economy has hit the rough, Reuters reported.
“Golf is not bad but … as prices are unstable and the economic situation is not getting better, President Lee thinks they need to consider public sentiment,” Yonhap news agency quoted a presidential Blue House official as saying.
Lee, a keen tennis player, asked officials to put their clubs away at least in the run-up to the major local Chuseok holiday in mid-September, the report said.
