CAMP CASEY, South Korea – Senior leaders from 210th Field Artillery Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division and members of the Dongduncheon chapter of the Association of the U.S. Army met on the green at the Indianhead Golf Course on Camp Casey, South Korea, April 18, for a nine-hole golf tournament.
The golf match was planned as part of the annual effort between the AUSA and 210th FA Brigade to create strong bonds among the community.
“This is one of the events we used this year to solidify the relationship we have with the community,” said Maj. Grant Brayley, from Toronto, Ohio, the information operations officer assigned to 210th FA Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. “It helps the golf course, it helps us, it helps them [AUSA], and it’s a good time.”
The teams were split into four, two Soldiers and two AUSA members each.
“We’ve always had a relationship with the 210th FA Bde.,” said Yim, Ki-sun, from Dongducheon, South Korea, president of AUSA Dongducheon. “And through golf we try to better our relationship.”
Upon completion of the tournament, the golfer’s scores were tallied up and everyone sat down for the awards ceremony and dinner at the golf course’s restaurant.
“All of the American Soldiers who are here work very hard every day,” said Col. Michael Lawson, commander of 210th FA Brigade. “So to get the opportunity to come out on a beautiful spring day in Korea and play golf with friends has been very special to me.”
Awards for first, second, and third place, as well as longest and shortest drives were presented to the Soldiers by Yim.
“These friends came far away from their homes,” said Yim. “We want to show our gratitude for their hard work, and the ROK-U.S. Alliance. We are very thankful for them helping us protect our nation.”
At dinner, teammates sat together and exchanged conversation, handshakes, and smiles while the warm springtime winds died down in lieu of the setting sun.
“To have all of these wonderful friends in the AUSA and the Soldiers who are here from the brigade is rewarding, and I’ve had a smile on my face all day,” said Lawson.
