More golf. You may or may not have heard of Korean Room Salons, which are bascially karaoke clubs, or, quite literally, places where you sing and drink with girls you can have sex with later. But apparently the new wrinkle is video golf “restaurants,” which according to a Korea Beat piece, have started to surface in Seoul.
Other than having a video golf machine instead of a noraebang, this place looks like any other room salon.
The miniskirt-clad girls who work here watch the customers hit the ball and high-five them. “Oppa, nice shot!” They operate the machine, make the drinks on the table, down them with the customers and play golf, too. They wear name tags saying Manager on them, but in fact they’re just like the doumi girls in room salons.
There are “caddies” already doing something like this in Korea. I’m guessing they also have them in sex tourism golf spots in places like Thailand and the Philippines as well.
A manager in her late 20s who introduces herself as a former caddy said, “we keep a membership system so when customers call ahead before coming to play we prepare enough doumi girls for the size of their group. If the partners agree they can go out and have a bottle of soju.” She means they can go to the second round.
Second round is code for a round of sex. I guess saying that “have a bottle of soju” is code for “a second round,” which is code for “lets go get it on,” is kind of a double code.
There are not yet many golf rooms which resemble room salons. But as the market becomes saturated the trend is to become more like them. Park, who is making a sexy bar in Gangnam with a video golf machine, said, “I started in Ansan, Anyang, and Suwon but I heard that business in Seoul is good so I’m here to try it.”

The irony is that many girls who work in room salons will claim to be golf caddies and to be able to save so much money through generous tips.
