GOLF IN GERMANY SHOWING GROWTH AND PROMISE
德国高尔夫运动增长的势头现良好前景
By: WGTF Member, Arthur van den Dool
作者：WGTF会员 范·德·杜尔
Golf in Germany has always been a popular pastime, not in the least because international stars such as Bernhard Langer and Martin Kaymer, who both won major championships, originate from Germany. On the heels of this international exposure and success, the game of golf in Germany has shown steady progress over the years. However, things are changing.
高尔夫在德国一直是一种流行的消遣，更何况像伯恩哈德·兰格和马丁·凯梅尔这样都获得过大满贯冠军的国际球星都来自德国。在国际赛事出镜并取得成功之后，德国的高尔夫运动多年来一直在稳步地发展。然而，情况正在发生变化。
When we look at the numbers, the total number of active golfers in the last decade has seen substantial growth. Where in 2012 approximately 635.000 golfers were active on the many beautiful German courses, that number has risen to 673.000 in 2021. As far as gender is concerned, roughly 57% are male, 35% female and 8% junior players, with these figures not differentiating much from other European markets.
当我们查看数据时，你会发现过去十年中活跃的高尔夫球手总数出现了大幅增长。 2012 年，大约有 635,000 名高尔夫球手活跃在许多美丽的德国球场上，到 2021 年，这一数字已上升到 673,000 人。就性别而言，大约 57% 是男性，35% 是女性，8% 是青少年球员，这些数字与其他欧洲市场没有太大区别。
Not surprising, the strongest growth the sport has seen is caused by the coronavirus pandemic. In Europe, golf was one of the few sports that was able to continue during these uncertain times and it is reflected in the German numbers, as well.
不难看出，这项运动的最强劲增长是由这波冠状病毒大流行带来的。在欧洲，高尔夫是在这些不确定的时期能够继续进行的少数运动之一，这也反映在德国的数据当中。
The number of golf courses in the country has also been on the rise. The current figure stands at 837 courses in total, which, compared to 2015 when there were 730 active golf courses, is a substantial rise. Most courses and players are located in the south and west parts of the country. The eastern part has the fewest, not surprising since that part of the country had been added just over 30 years ago.
德国的高尔夫球场数量也在增加。目前的总数为 837 个球场，与 2015 年的 730 个活跃的高尔夫球场相比，这是一个大幅增长。大多数球场和球员都位于该国的南部和西部。东部地区最少，这并不奇怪，因为德国的那部分地区是在 30 多年前才合并进来的。
Given these numbers, it seems clear that golf in Germany is doing quite well. It is expected to rise even further, although perhaps not as fast as in the past couple of years.
这些数字表明德国的高尔夫产业表现相当不错。预计还会进一步上升，尽管未来可能没有过去几年增长那么快。

JUSTIN THOMAS WINS PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
贾斯汀·托马斯赢得 PGA 锦标赛
It seems hard to believe that as talented and successful he has been that Justin Thomas only had one major championship victory entering 2022, that being the 2017 PGA Championship. That changed this past May when he once again captured the Wannamaker Trophy at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, outlasting Will Zalatoris in a three-hole playoff.
似乎很难相信贾斯汀托马斯在进入 2022 年时只获得过一场大满贯赛事的胜利，那就是 2017 年 PGA 锦标赛。2021年5月，当他在俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨的南山乡村俱乐部，在三洞加洞赛后击败了 Will Zalatoris。他再次捧起了 Wannamaker 奖杯，态势发生了转变。
Thomas now has 15 wins on the PGA Tour since 2015. Originally best known for being Jordan Spieth’s friend, Thomas has since forged an identity all his own. At 29 years old, the University of Alabama product has been a mainstay at the top of the professional game for a number of years. As a kid, Thomas always wore long pants because that’s what the pros did, and he always wanted to play professional golf. His father Mike is still his coach, and the pair have obviously worked well together. Now with two majors, Thomas has his sights set on number three, and he undoubtedly will attain that goal, likely sooner rather than later.
自 2015 年以来，托马斯现在已经在美巡赛上赢得了 15 场胜利。托马斯最初以是乔丹·斯皮思的朋友而闻名，此后他打造了自己的天地。在 29 岁的时候，这位毕业于阿拉巴马大学的球员成为职业比赛的中流砥柱。小时候，托马斯总是穿长裤，因为这是职业球员规范，他一直想打职业高尔夫球。他的父亲迈克是他的教练，两人显然合作得很好。现在他拥有了两个大满贯赛冠军头衔，托马斯将目光投向了第三个桂冠，他无疑会实现这个目标，这是迟早的事。
