AUSTRALIAN GOLF AND FAIRWAYS FIRST
澳大利亚高尔夫和球道第一
By Grant Garrison, Queensland, Australia
作者：Grant Garrison，澳大利亚昆士兰
Golf is booming down under. While many courses were closed during Covid restrictions, it quickly became the activity of choice once courses opened. Our amateur body recently announced record growth in club participation, the largest increase since 1970. As golf instructors, the challenge now is to find new, innovative ways to engage those who are interested and get them playing. I personally teach beginners at a course that doesn’t have a driving range. With this mind, I created a program I call Fairways First. The goal is to get new golfers on the course right away. There are seven levels, which represents different distances from the hole. Once they pass Level 7, they have the skill and knowledge to get a golf handicap.
高尔夫正在蓬勃发展。虽然许多课程因为在疫情限制期间关闭，但一旦课程开放，它很快就成为首选活动。我们的业余高球圈最近在俱乐部的参与人数上有了创纪录的增长，这是自 1970 年以来的最大增幅。作为高尔夫教练，现在面临的挑战是找到新的、创新的方式来吸引感兴趣的人并让他们来进入打球的队伍。我个人是在没有练习场的球场中教初学者打球。带着这种想法，我创建了一个名为 Fairways First 的体系。目标是尽快让新的高尔夫球手走上球场。共有七个级别，他们区别于到球洞不同的距离。一旦他们通过了 第7 级，他们就有了获得高尔夫差点的技能和相关的知识。
The owner of the golf course is loving this program, as it’s creating new members and selling equipment in the golf shop. The staff has gotten behind it, too, because they have a program to sell which they know works well.
高尔夫球场的老板很喜欢这个项目，因为它促进了新会员的增长并增加了在球场内高尔夫专卖店的销售。工作人员也支持它，因为他们有一个体系，他们知道如何运作的更好。

“PRO” FILE – PRESIDENTS CUP CHAMPIONS
职业档案-总统杯的冠军
Team USA once again captured the Presidents Cup competition held this past September, this time defeating the International team by a match score of 17.5-12.5. The USA got off to a fast start, leading 8-2 after two days, but the International squad fought back valiantly the final two days, outscoring Team USA 10.5-9.5.
美国队再次夺得2022年9月举行的总统杯比赛，这次以17.5-12.5的比分击败了国际队。美国队开局很好，前两天以 8-2 领先，但国际队在后两天开始英勇反击，以 10.5-9.5 击败了美国队。
World #1 Scottie Scheffler of the USA actually failed to win a match in four tries, winning only half a point with a tie, showing that at the top levels of golf, anyone ranked in the top 100 in the world can defeat any other player on a given day. Tom Kim from the International squad was the sensation of the match with his showmanship and strong play. The PGA Tour rookie, by all accounts, is a superstar in the making.
世界排名第一的美国选手斯科蒂·舍夫勒居然在四场比赛中仅赢了一场比赛，成绩打平只赢了0.5分，可见在顶级水平高尔夫赛事上，世界排名前100的任何人有能力击败其他球员。来自国际队的汤姆·金（Tom Kim）凭借他的比赛技巧和强劲的表现引起了比赛的轰动。众所周知，这位美巡赛新秀是一位正在成长的超级巨星。
Since the USA won for the 12th time in 14 attempts, there have been calls for changing the format. However, when you examine each match, the competition this year was actually closer than the score would indicate, especially with the Internationals’ strong play the final two days. Undoubtedly, their drought will end, perhaps with the next playing of the Presidents Cup.
自从美国队在 14 次对战中第 12 次获胜以来，一直有人呼吁改变赛制。然而，当你回顾比赛时你会发现，往届的比赛实际上比分已经开始接近，尤其是本届在国际队最后两天的强势表现下。毫无疑问，他们的颓势也许会随着总统杯的下一场比赛而结束。
“PRO” FILE – TEACHING PROFESSIONAL MIKE STEVENS
职业教练-迈克·史蒂文斯
Mike Stevens has been a USGTF member since 1995 and was formerly the Southeast Region director. He resides in Tampa, Florida, where he operated On Target Golf Schools at MacDill Air Force Base Golf Course for many years. The schools were a unique model in that they involve 6-week sessions of one hour per week, and the concept was very successful, as several other USGTF members also adopted that model.
Mike Stevens 自 1995 年以来一直是 USGTF 会员，曾任美国东南地区总监。他居住在佛罗里达州坦帕市，在麦克迪尔空军基地高尔夫球场经营 目标（On Target） 高尔夫学校多年。这些学校有一个独特的模式，因为它有每周一小时持续 6 周的课程，并且这个概念非常成功，因为其他几个 USGTF 会员也采用了这种模式。
Stevens has always been devoted to the history of the game, and almost two decades ago he made the move to play exclusively with hickory-shafted clubs. He has won several tournaments, notably the Southern Hickory Four-Ball, and also the prestigious National Hickory Championship three times. When competing among his titanium-wielding peers, he more than holds his own. He was recognized as one of Florida’s top ten instructors by Florida Golf News and also as a top WGTF Teacher. In 2011 he was inducted into the USGTF Hall of Fame at Orange County National in Orlando, Florida, during the World Golf Teachers Cup. A native of Ohio, Stevens hold a Master’s degree in Human Resource Management.
史蒂文斯一直致力于研究这项运动的历史，近 20 年前，他开始专门使用山核桃木制的古董球杆进行比赛。他赢得了几场比赛，尤其是南部古董球杆四球锦标赛，以及三度享有盛誉的全国古董球杆锦标赛。在与钛金属同行竞争时，他不仅拥有自己的优势。他被佛罗里达高尔夫新闻评为佛罗里达州十大教练之一，同时也是 WGTF 顶级教练。 2011 年，在世界高尔夫教师杯期间，他入选了佛罗里达州奥兰多奥兰治县国家队的 USGTF 名人堂。史蒂文斯出生于俄亥俄州，拥有人力资源管理硕士学位。
Stevens recently retired from teaching and as the USGTF Southeast Region director to spend more time with his family and grandkids, and to hone his game. He is still active in the hickory golf scene and will once again run the U.S. Professional & Amateur Hickory Golf Championship this coming February at Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club in Tampa. He also runs the Florida Hickory Golfers group that holds events monthly. Stevens also competes annually in the World Hickory Open in Scotland.
史蒂文斯最近从高尔夫教学中退休，并担任 USGTF 东南地区总监，以便可以花更多时间与家人和孙子们在一起，并提升他的比赛能力。他仍然活跃于古董球场高尔夫赛事，并将于2022年2 月在坦帕的 Temple Terrace 高尔夫乡村俱乐部再次举办美国职业和业余山核桃高尔夫锦标赛。他还经营着佛罗里达古董高尔夫球手团体，该团体每月举办活动。史蒂文斯每年还参加在苏格兰举行的世界古董球杆公开赛。

EDITORIAL – FUTURE OF GOLF AND ITS AGENDA
编辑特别推荐：高尔夫的未来及其议程
By: Mark Harman, Director of Education
作者：马克·哈曼，教育总监
Would Harry Vardon recognize today’s game if he could be magically transported to 2022? While some things would be the same, others would be so vastly different that Vardon might well wonder if it’s even the same game.
如果哈利·瓦登（Harry Vardon）能被时光机传送到 2022 年，他能认出今天的比赛吗？虽然有些事物是一样的，但很多事情已经大不相同，以至于瓦登可能会怀疑它是否是同一种运动。
Things used to change slowly in golf, but with the dawn of the 21st century, things are picking up at a rapid pace. Where once new technology took years to embrace, today’s players and coaches are quick to adopt a change if it is demonstrated to be beneficial. You would be hard-pressed to find a modern tour player who does not have a TrackMan or GC Quad – or in many cases both – to analyze their ball flight and club data to the nth degree. Experts in analytics crunch the data and lay out very specifically where players need to improve. Training regimens continue to evolve as the latest research comes in.
过去高尔夫的变化很缓慢，但随着 21 世纪的到来，事情正在快速发展。曾经需要数年才能接受新技术的地方，如果证明是有益的，今天的球员和教练会迅速采用改变。您将很难找到一个没有 TrackMan 或 GC Quad（或在许多情况下两者兼有）的现代巡回赛球员来分析他们的球飞行和球杆数据到了哪一级别。分析专家会处理数据并非常具体地列出球员需要改进的地方。随着最新研究的出现，训练方案不断发展。
The game of professional golf was shaken up in 2022 by the advent of the LIV Tour. Whether this tour can survive without a visible means of revenue remains to be seen. In response, the PGA Tour upped the purses dramatically for its marquee events and obtained pledges from its top players to play more golf. A tournament purse of $25 million would have been unthinkable just a few short years ago…and imagine what Vardon would think! But do not be surprised if, within the next decade, a tournament purse of $100 million is offered. So, it seems the game of professional golf, at least on the men’s side, will continue to see escalating purses.
2022 年，LIV 巡回赛的到来彻底改变了职业高尔夫运动。如果没有可见的收入方式，这次巡演能否生存下来还有待观察。作为回应，美巡赛大幅增加了其大型赛事的资金，并从其顶级球员那里获得了更多参赛的承诺。仅在几年前，2500 万美元的锦标赛奖金是不可想象的……想象一下瓦登会怎么想！所以，如果在未来十年内出现提供 1 亿美元的锦标赛奖金，请不要感到惊讶。因此，至少在男子方面，职业高尔夫比赛似乎将继续看到不断升级的奖金。
When it comes to teaching, almost certainly within the next decade every full-time teacher will have much of the latest technology available. There will still be teachers who go to the lesson tee with nothing more than their smartphone to take video, but they will usually be the club pro or someone who gives lessons only occasionally.
在教学方面，几乎可以肯定，在未来十年内，每位全职教练都将拥有许多可用的最新技术。仍然会有老师带着智能手机去上课的发球台拍摄视频，他们通常是俱乐部职业球员或只是偶尔上课的人。
Finally, the USGA and R&A have made a big deal about reigning in distance, or at least preventing future increases. Their problem is that today’s professional golfer is a true athlete who trains and is larger and much stronger than their counterparts of yesteryear. Whereas Dan Pohl led the PGA Tour in driving distance in 1980 with an average of 274.3 yards using a persimmon driver and balata balls, today’s longest players would probably still approach a 300-yard average with such implements. All indications are that the USGA and R&A will finally adopt one set of equipment rules for the pro game and elite amateur competitions and one for play at the club level.
最后，USGA 和 R&A 在控制距离方面做出了很大的努力，或者至少要防止未来的大幅增长。他们的问题是，今天的职业高尔夫球手是一名真正的运动员，他们训练得比过去的球员更高大、更强壮。丹波尔在 1980 年以 274.3 码的平均距离领先 PGA 巡回赛，他所使用的是木质发球杆和橡胶球。今天击球最远的球员同样使用这种球具依然可以打出接近 300 码的平均距离。种种迹象表明，USGA 和 R&A 最终将采用一套用于职业比赛和业余比赛的球具装备规则，用于职业和业余赛事的使用。
