Golf has become more than a sport for the Park family; It is a tradition that has shaped its lives and careers. Lucas Park of Paradise Golf Club shared details about how golf was rooted in her family, revealing a journey that began with paternal persistence and flourished in passion and professional success.
Lucas, in an interview with the program, when his father, already practitioner of the sport, decided to introduce his children to golf. “At the time we did Taekwondo, but we ended up choosing the golf,” recalled Lucas. What initially seemed like a paternal imposition turned into a passion shared by the whole family.
From reluctant to champions
The transition was not immediate. Lucas admitted that at first it was for the sport. Today, the surname Park is synonymous with excellence in Brazilian golf, with the three brothers – Lucas, Mateus and Marcos – following promising careers in the sport.
The success of the Park family in golf is evident not only in Brazilian soil, but also internationally. Marcos Park, the younger brother, already reaps the fruits of his talent.
“He is in Illinois now and will transfer to Arkansas,” Lucas said, adding that his brother won a scholarship and is part of the college’s golf team.
The dedication and talent of the Park brothers in the golf have not only solidified the family tradition in the sport, but are also contributing to raise the profile of Brazilian golf in the international scene.
A is a testimony of the power of perseverance and passion, transforming what began as a paternal insistence into a true sports success saga.
