For years now, Pak has preached the importance of living a balanced life. It’s the No. 1 message she wants to pass along to the next generation.
“My life was only golf,” she said. “Golf, golf, golf. Starting is golf, ending is golf.”
It’s why the game, and everything surrounding it, became hard. Even now, Pak admits that she doesn’t get much joy out of playing.
“I don’t think I ever took care of myself at all,” she said. “Only golf, golf, thinking about it, and there was never a break, and that’s why I have a burnout.”
