TOUR “PRO” FILE – RICKIE FOWLER
职业球员档案——瑞基·福勒

He was ranked as one of the most overrated players by his peers in a poll that came out in 2015, then promptly went out and won the Players Championship. Rickie Fowler has enjoyed a solid career, complete with tournament victories, Ryder and Presidents Cup appearances and a top-four world ranking, but almost certainly to date he has fallen short of both his and the pundits’ expectations.
他在2015年的一项调查中被他的同行评选为最被高估的球员之一，然后立即赢得了球员锦标赛。Rickie Fowler拥有一份不错的职业生涯，包括锦标赛胜利、赛会和总统杯出场以及世界排名前四，但几乎可以肯定的是，他到目前为止都没有达到他和专家的期望。

Fowler came out of Oklahoma State University in 2009 with much fanfare. He was a two-time Walker Cup player and winner of the Ben Hogan Award for collegiate player of the year. He played well in 2010 with some high finishes and was named to the U.S. Ryder Cup team, and he was off and running, to date winning five PGA Tour events.
Fowler在2009年从俄克拉荷马州立大学毕业时备受瞩目。他是一名两次沃克杯赛球员，并获得了本•霍根奖的大学年度最佳球员。他在2010年表现出色，在一些高水平比赛中取得了不俗的成绩，并入选美国莱德杯队，此后他一直在努力前进，到目前为止赢得了五个PGA巡回赛冠军。
Fowler has been in somewhat of a slump for an extended time, but his recent performance at the C.J. Cup in Las Vegas, where he finished third, showed a return to form that Fowler believes will be ongoing. As one of the more dynamic personalities in the game, professional golf is in a better place when Rickie Fowler is playing well.
Fowler在一段时间内陷入了低迷期，但他最近在拉斯维加斯的C.J.杯比赛中获得了第三名，表现出了复苏的迹象，而且他相信这种状态会持续下去。作为比赛中较为有活力的人物之一，当Rickie Fowler表现出色时，职业高尔夫球界就处于更好的状态。

TEACHING “PRO” FILE – JIM PEREZ
职业教练-吉姆·佩雷兹

There may no more enterprising member of the USGTF than Fresno, California’s, Jim Perez. A USGTF member since 1995 and a Master Golf Teaching Professional since 1997, Perez’s start as a USGTF member is memorable. He approached the owner of the local driving range, who informed Perez that he already had three PGA teaching professionals and did not need another pro. Perez pointed out that there was no business at that time at the range and that he would assure more golfers would come. After two such rejections, the owner relented and allowed Perez to teach.
加州弗雷斯诺市的吉姆·佩雷兹(Jim Perez)或许是美国高尔夫教练联合会中最有企业家精神的成员。自1995年以来，他一直是美国高尔夫教练联合会的成员，自1997年以来一直是大师级高尔夫教学专家。佩雷兹作为美国高尔夫教练联合会成员的开始令人难忘。他找到当地球场的业主，但业主告诉佩雷兹他已经有三个PGA教练了，不需要另一个教练。佩雷兹指出当时球场没有生意，他会确保更多的高尔夫球手前来。在两次拒绝后，业主最终同意让佩雷兹教学。

Now, he had to come up with a plan, and it was a doozy. He placed an ad in the local newspaper (when newspaper ads were a thing), selling lesson memberships for $99. Over 200 people bought them in short order (over $20,000 worth), and Perez was off and running.
现在，他必须想出一个计划，而他的计划非常成功。他在当地报纸上刊登了广告，出售99美元的课程会员资格。很快就有超过200人购买了这些会员资格（价值超过2万美元），佩雷兹就开始了自己的教学事业。他还有一个有趣的哲学，当涉及到收取多少费用时
He also has an interesting philosophy when it comes to how much to charge for lessons. “I make sure I charge more than anyone in the area,” he remarked, “because that gives people the impression that they’re paying for the highest quality.” Of course, it helps that Perez is an extremely competent and accomplished teacher and player. In addition to learning under the USGTF umbrella, Perez has spent time observing teaching greats Butch Harmon and Mike Hebron, among others. And speaking of playing, Perez is a former United States Golf Teachers Cup senior champion and a World Golf Teachers Cup individual senior champion.
他说：“我确保自己比当地任何人都要贵，因为这会让人们认为他们正在付高质量的费用。”当然，佩雷兹是一个极其有能力和成功的教练和球员，除了在美国高尔夫教练联合会的保护伞下学习之外，他还花时间观察了布奇·哈蒙(Butch Harmon)、迈克·赫布朗(Mike Hebron)等伟大的教练。说到比赛，佩雷兹曾经是美国高尔夫教练杯的老年组冠军和世界高尔夫教练杯的个人老年组冠军。
Currently, he and his wife Marci own the Bluff Pointe Golf Course in Fresno, where Perez can be seen hard at work most days.
目前，他和妻子马尔西在弗雷斯诺市拥有布拉夫波因特高尔夫球场，佩雷兹大部分时间都在那里辛勤工作。

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT – AUGUSTIN MARTINEZ
明星学生-奥古斯丁·马丁内斯
By Scott Henry, USGTF Professional
作者：Scott Henry，美国高尔夫职业教练

As a youngster, Augustin Martinez was introduced to the game by his father, who was a college golfer in the 1990s. He started to play local junior tournaments in the area by the time he was 8 years old, and attending summer golf camps for enjoyment, with it later turning into love of the game, just his father’s.
奥古斯丁·马丁内兹是一个年轻的高尔夫球手，他是在父亲的引导下接触到高尔夫球的。他的父亲在20世纪90年代是一名大学高尔夫球手。从8岁开始，奥古斯丁（Auggie）就开始在当地的少年比赛中参赛，并在暑期高尔夫球营地中进行了比赛，最初只是出于兴趣，后来也像他的父亲一样，热爱上了这项运动。

When he started, he played at a local par-3 course, which gave him his short game skills. As he grew older, Augustin (Auggie) started winning trophies at these local tournaments. When he reached me at PSJA Memorial Early College High School in Alamo, Texas, Auggie was placed onto the varsity boys golf team because of his previous experience. He did, however, struggle to compete with his peers at the time because of his lack of length off the tee and outside of tournaments, he mainly only had played the par-3 course. After a short while, he caught up with his peers and is now consistently finishing in the top 10 individually at high school golf tournaments. his has spurred Auggie on even further, practicing vigorously over the past summer during the COVID-19 pandemic.
起初，他在当地的一个标准杆为3杆的球场练习，这让他掌握了短杆技巧。随着他的年龄增长，奥古斯丁（Auggie）开始在这些本地锦标赛上赢得奖杯。当他进入德克萨斯州阿拉莫市PSJA纪念初中时，由于之前的经验，奥古斯丁（Auggie）进入了男子高尔夫球队。然而，由于他挥杆不够力，只练习过标准杆3球场，他在比赛中常常无法与同龄人竞争。但不久之后，他赶上了同龄人，并且现在常常在高中高尔夫球比赛中个人排名前十名。在过去的疫情期间，奥古斯丁（Auggie）更加努力地训练。
Auggie is now a senior in high school with expectations of himself ultimately wanting to land a place on a college golf team, launching him into the best of what life has to offer. His family history and passion for the game motivates him. I am proud of his accomplishments and look forward to watching him grow as a player, but even more so, as a person, in the future.
现在他是一名高中的毕业生，他期望自己能够加入一支大学高尔夫球队，开启人生的美好时光。他对高尔夫球的热情和家族历史激励着他。我为他的成就感到自豪，并期待着看着他未来成为一个更出色的球手，更重要的是成为一个更好的人。

EDITORIAL – COMMON RULES VIOLATIONS
编辑精选 – 常见违规行为

By Mark Harman, USGTF Course Director
作者：Mark Harman，USGTF 课程主任
I once heard someone claim that his dad, a rules guru, claimed that everyone violated a rule of golf on “every” hole. This is a wild exaggeration, of course, but rules violations are common in our game. Here are what I believe are the most violated rules, one in the professional ranks and one at the amateur club level.
我曾经听说有人声称他的父亲是规则大师，认为每个人在“每个”洞都会违反高尔夫球规则。当然，这是夸张了，但是在我们的比赛中违反规则是很常见的。下面是我认为是最常违反的规则，一个是在职业级别，一个是在业余俱乐部级别。

Professional
职业级别
Waiting too long for a ball on the lip of the hole to drop – It seems this one is violated at least once a year by some touring professional. You would think they would know by now that you only have 10 seconds once you reach the hole to see if the ball fall into it, and if it doesn’t, you need to tap it in. Yet somehow, pros are still under the mistaken impression that if they “see” the ball moving microscopically, the ball is still moving and they cannot hit it. The rules are clear on this: If the ball hasn’t fallen into the hole within 10 seconds, it is deemed at rest even if somehow it is still moving microscopically.
在洞口等待球太久 – 似乎每年都有一些职业高尔夫球手违反这个规则。你会认为他们现在已经知道了，一旦到达洞口，只有10秒钟的时间观察球是否掉进洞里，如果没有，就需要轻击进洞。但是不知怎么的，职业球手仍然错误地认为，如果他们“看到”球微小地移动，球仍然在移动，他们不能击打球。规则对此很清楚：如果球在10秒钟内没有落入洞中，即使以微小的方式仍在移动，它也被视为静止。

Amateur Club Level
业余俱乐部级别
Playing the ball from a different spot than where it came to rest – We could spend all day on this as amateurs violate many rules, but by far the most common is playing “winter rules.” Most courses nowadays are in such good condition that it is pointless to move the ball into a better lie. On the course I grew up, Woodbury Golf Course in Plymouth, Indiana (then known as Fountain Head GC), there was no sprinkling system and the fairways were, to say the least, not the best. My dad always played winter rules, but while in high school I read an article somewhere that by playing the ball down on poor fairways, you would become a better ballstriker. From that moment on I have always played the ball down unless winter rules (lift, clean and place) are officially in effect.
在球停留的不同位置打球 – 我们可以花整天的时间讨论业余球手违反的许多规则，但是违反“冬季规则”是远远最常见的。现在大多数球场都在非常好的条件下，将球移到更好的位置是毫无意义的。在我成长的高尔夫球场，位于印第安纳州普利茅斯的伍德伯里高尔夫球场（当时称为喷泉头高尔夫球场），没有灌溉系统，球道可以说是最差的。我父亲总是按照“冬季规则”打球，但在高中时，我在某个地方读到一篇文章，说在球道不好的情况下，打下球会让你成为更好的球手。从那一刻起，我总是按照原位打球，除非官方实行“冬季规则”（抬起、清洗和放置）。
Most people aren’t real handy with the rules, but they can be interesting. If you haven’t done this, make it a point to attend a USGA rules seminar this winter.
大多数人对规则并不熟悉，但它们可能会很有趣。如果你还没有参加过美国高尔夫协会的规则研讨会，请在这个冬天抽时间去参加一次。
