The Community A, a golf residence operated by Olympic Country Club, drew an enthusiastic response from participants in a three-day trial program held over the Liberation Day holiday. Satisfaction ran high as the program let participants experience firsthand what it calls "a home for a lifelong golf lifestyle," where golf, exercise, health care, dining, cultural activities and member networking unfold daily in a single space. According to Olympic Country Club on the 18th, the trial program began with a tennis networking session at the tennis court on the fourth floor of The Community A. Enjoying tennis gave members with similar interests a natural chance to build relationships. An omakase dinner, which has become a signature event of The Community A trial program, also drew a warm response from participants. A one-point golf lesson by Professor Lee Ju-yeon, a full member of the LPGA teaching class, in particular drew strong interest from golfers of both sexes, and the mini concert that followed created "memories of a midsummer night."

The second day began with a climb up Bukhansan. After the climb, participants attended a lecture on "spinal health for golfers" by Kim Jung-hwan, director of Seoul Yonhap Clinic. Participants listened closely to explanations of the strain that the golf swing places on the spine and surrounding muscles and of how to use the body correctly. A pickleball class held that day also drew keen interest from participants. As instructor Park Ga-on ran the class in a way that made it easy to take part, from basic movements to actual games, members trying pickleball for the first time joined in naturally. On the final day, the schedule continued without a gap. Professor Lee's one-point golf lesson drew a large crowd. The lesson worked by reviewing each participant's swing on video, then immediately pointing out flaws and correcting them through repetition.
