[ENCORE] Golf in Taiwan: A Surprisingly Long History

Hear the tale of Japanese colonial officials discovering golf as
the "new cool thing for elites" -- and ordering a course built in
just a few hours. Plus, the story of Lu Liang-huan
(呂良煥), a man from a poor family who worked his
way up from being a caddy to an impressive 2nd place win at the
1971 British Open.


NOTE: We are re-releasing this episode in celebration of the 62nd
anniversary of the Kaohsiung Golf and Country Club
高雄高爾夫俱樂部, a public course and oasis of nature,
trees, and birds in the middle of the city (and, of course, an
international-standard golf course). This episode first came out
in July 2022. The Kaohsiung Golf and Country Club is managed by
the sponsors of the Formosa Files podcast, the Frank C. Chen
Foundation.
