President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea is said to have begun honing his golf skills in preparation for his upcoming meeting with President-elect Donald Trump.

After speaking with Trump, Yoon resumed his golf practice after a hiatus of eight years.

The bond between the current leader and the previous Japanese Prime Minister mirrors their golfing relationship and the gift of gold-plated clubs.

The president-elect's campaign did not respond promptly when asked if he wished other world leaders would begin shooting.
