HONG KONG SAR GOLF TEACHERS FEDERATION, USGTF FORM CLOSE TIES
香港特别行政区高尔夫教练联合会与USGTF建立紧密联系

 

With the reputation of the World Golf Teachers Federation and the United States Golf Teachers Federation continuing to grow in a positive direction worldwide, the Hong Kong Golf Teachers Federation has seen an increased demand for its teaching certification program.
随着世界高尔夫教练联合会和美国高尔夫教练联合会(USGTF)在全球的声誉持续正向增长,香港高尔夫教练联合会的学员认证开始增加。

One of the aspects helping the HKGTF gain momentum is the research of Dr. Jackson Wan, who is certified by the HKGTF.

“PRO” FILE – THE GENESIS INVITATIONAL WINNER HIDEKI MATSUYAMA
“职业”档案 – 创世纪邀请赛冠军松山英树

Hideki Matsuyama is the greatest golfer the continent of Asia has produced to date, and his latest victory at the Genesis Invitational served as further testament to his prowess. He fired a final-round tournament record of 62 at Riviera Country Club, an old-style course that is one of the players’ favorite tracks on tour, to erase a six-shot deficit to Patrick Cantlay and win the event by three strokes.
松山英树是迄今为止亚洲产生的最伟大的高尔夫球手,他在创世纪邀请赛上最新的胜利进一步证明了他的实力。他在Riviera国家高尔夫俱乐部打出了最后一轮赛事纪录的62杆。这是一家老式的球场,也是巡回赛上球员们最喜欢的球场之一,最终他从帕特里克·坎特利(Patrick Cantlay)手中扭转了六杆的劣势,以三杆优势赢得了比赛。

Matsuyama won five times in a span of a little over three years from 2014 to 2017, but was uncharacteristically out of the winner’s circle until his Masters victory in 2021. That win restarted the victory bandwagon for Matsuyama, as he has won three more PGA Tour events since then. It’s a sure bet that he won’t go another four years without winning, and it would come as no surprise if his prolific winning ways continue for the next several years.
松山英树从2014年到2017年的三年多时间里赢得了五次比赛,但之后状态异常未能再次获胜,直到2021年才再次赢得美国大师赛的胜利。那次胜利为松山英树重新启动了胜利的站车,自那以后,他又赢得了三次PGA巡回赛赛事。他未来四年不胜的可能性为零,如果他在接下来的几年里继续保持频繁获胜的状态,也不会让人感到意外。

 


“PRO” FILE – USGTF MEMBER DR. CORY L. MORRIS
“职业”档案 – USGTF会员Cory L. Morris博士

Dr. Cory Morris from Morrisville, North Carolina, is a Doctor of Chiropractic, Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician® and USGTF Certified Golf Teaching Professional®. He owns EPIC Chiropractic P.C. in Morrisville, North Carolina, where he serves a wide variety of patients, many of whom are golfers. Combining his knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the body, proper movement patterns and common injuries with his background in golf, teaching, and the mechanics of the swing allows him to mesh his two worlds together. With this unique skill set, he is able to help improve someone’s game while they perform and feel their best.
来自北卡罗来纳州莫里斯维尔的Cory Morris博士是一名脊椎按摩治疗医生、认证的脊椎按摩体育医生®和USGTF认证的高尔夫教学专业人员®。他在北卡罗来纳州莫里斯维尔拥有EPIC脊椎按摩执照,在那里他为各种各样的患者服务,其中很多人都是高尔夫球手。结合他对身体解剖学和生理学、正确的运动模式、常见伤病的知识以及他在高尔夫、教学和挥杆方面的知识背景,使他能够将这两个领域完美的融合在一起。凭借这一独特的技能组合,他能够帮助球员在比赛表现和感觉方面达到最佳状态。

Morris started golfing at the age of 14 to spend more time with one of his favorite cousins. He quickly caught the “golf fever” and has never looked back. During his college years at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, he decided to further his golf knowledge and became USGTF certified. He wanted to pursue this certification so he could help others learn golf and improve their games and to deepen their love and enjoyment for golf. He also utilized much of his teaching knowledge learned from USGTF instructors to further improve his own golf game, which helped him become more consistent in his tournament play. Today, he remains an active golfer playing both recreationally – usually with his favorite playing partner, his dad – and competitively. He mostly competes locally in club-oriented tournament play, where most notably he has won his local club’s club championship seven times.
Morris从14岁开始打高尔夫,目的是为了和他最喜欢的一个堂兄花更多时间在一起。他很快就迷上了“高尔夫热”,从此一发不可收拾。在北卡罗来纳大学威尔明顿分校的大学时光中,他决定进一步学习高尔夫知识,并获得了USGTF认证。他想要获得这个认证是因为他希望帮助其他人学习高尔夫,提高他们的比赛水平,进一步深化他们对高尔夫的热爱。他还利用从USGTF教练那里学到的许多教学知识来进一步提高自己的高尔夫水平,这帮助他在比赛中表现更加稳定。如今,他仍然是一个活跃的高尔夫球手,参与业余比赛——通常与他最喜欢的比赛伙伴,他的父亲一起——也参加比赛。他主要参加当地的俱乐部赛事,其中最值得一提的是他已经七次赢得了当地俱乐部的俱乐部冠军。

As you might guess, his style of teaching revolves around body mechanics. He is a big proponent of “swing your own swing within reason.” He focuses on what is most mechanically correct and efficient for each player’s build to improve their golf games while prolonging their pain-free golf years. He likes to incorporate homework for patients and students – all the same – that usually includes some combination of exercise, stretching and functional movement patterns, geared towards making them a better golfer and a healthier person overall.
正如你所猜测的那样,他的教学风格围绕身体力学。他是“在合理范围内挥出自己的挥杆”这一观点的坚定支持者。他专注于对每位球员的体型来说最正确和高效的方式,以改善他们的高尔夫能力,同时延长他们享受高尔夫年限。他喜欢为患者和学生安排家庭作业——二者是一样的——通常包括一些练习、伸展和功能性运动模式的组合,旨在使他们成为更好的高尔夫球手和更健康的人。

 


STUDENT SPOTLIGHT – JACK SCIMONE
学生聚光灯 – 杰克·斯基莫内

In the world of junior golf, there are talented players who excel on the course and maintain a stellar academic record. Jack Scimone, a rising star in the golfing community, embodies this rare combination of sporting prowess and scholarly dedication.
在青少年高尔夫球界,有些才华横溢的球员在球场上表现出色,并且保持着优异的学术记录。杰克·斯基莫内,高尔夫社区中的一颗冉冉升起的新星,完美的结合了罕见的运动能力和技术投入。

Over the past two years, Jack has been a prominent member of my golf academy at the Saints Golf Course in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and our state-of-the-art indoor golf center in Stuart, Florida. During this time, he has showcased remarkable improvement in his golf game, with his best 18-hole round at the Saints standing at an impressive 74. However, Jack’s journey goes beyond the golf course. As he enters his senior year at Martin County High School, he not only aspires to play college golf, but also harbors dreams of becoming a medical doctor while maintaining a flawless 4.0 GPA.
在过去两年中,杰克一直是我们位于佛罗里达州圣卢西港的Saints高尔夫球场和位于斯图尔特的最先进室内高尔夫中心高尔夫学院的杰出成员。在这段时间里,他在高尔夫球技能上展现出了显著的进步,他在Saints的最好18洞回合成绩令人印象深刻,达到了74。然而,杰克的旅程不仅限于高尔夫球场。随着他进入马丁县高中的最后一年,他不仅渴望打大学高尔夫球,而且还梦想成为一名医学博士,同时保持着完美的4.0GPA。

Jack’s story is one of dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence. His journey with us began two years ago, and from the outset, it was clear that he possessed the determination and talent that set him apart from the rest. But what truly sets Jack apart is his unwavering commitment to the game. Golf isn’t just a sport to him; it’s a passion that fuels his desire to improve continually. He spends countless hours fine-tuning his skills, working on his swing and mastering the art of managing his game. His father and grandfather, both avid golfers, have played a pivotal role in nurturing this passion. Their shared moments on the golf course have strengthened their family bonds and imparted valuable lessons to Jack.
杰克的故事是关于奉献和不懈追求卓越的故事。他与我们的旅程始于两年前,从一开始就很明显,他拥有那种将他与众不同的决心和才能。但真正使杰克脱颖而出的是他对游戏的坚定承诺。高尔夫对他来说不仅仅是一项运动;它是一种激发他不断改进欲望的激情。他花费无数小时精雕细琢自己的技能,致力于完善挥杆并掌握管理比赛的艺术。他的父亲和祖父都是狂热的高尔夫球手,他们在培养这种激情方面发挥了关键作用。他们在高尔夫球场上的共同时刻加强了他们的家庭纽带,并向杰克传授了宝贵的经验。

Jack understands the importance of balancing academics and athletics and does it with finesse. His meticulous approach to his studies mirrors his approach to golf. It’s all about setting goals, working diligently, and achieving results. Jack’s commitment to golf goes beyond his own game. He is a mentor and role model to younger players in our program. His dedication to improvement and his exemplary sportsmanship inspire those around him. Jack understands that the future of golf lies in the hands of the next generation, and he takes seriously his role as a positive influence in the golf community.
杰克明白平衡学业和运动的重要性,并且做得游刃有余。他对高尔夫学习的一丝不苟的态度反映了他的态度。一切都是从设定目标、勤奋工作到最后取得成果。杰克对高尔夫的投入超越了他个人的比赛。他是我们体系中年轻球员的榜样。他对改进的奉献和模范体育精神激励着周围的人。杰克明白,高尔夫的未来掌握在下一代手中,他认真塑造着自己作为高尔夫社区中的积极影响力的角色。

 


USGTF INDUSTRY PARTNER – BRIDGESTONE GOLF
USGTF行业合作伙伴 – 桥石高尔夫

Long an innovator of golf ball technology, Bridgestone Golf boasts perhaps the greatest golfer of all time in Tiger Woods as someone who trusts Bridgestone at the highest level of competition. Woods has said that the Bridgestone B X and B XS balls are the best he’s ever played in his career.
作为高尔夫球技术的长期创新者,桥石高尔夫(BRIDGESTONE)以拥有可能是有史以来最伟大的高尔夫球手泰格·伍兹为荣,他在最高级别的比赛中信赖桥石。伍兹曾说,桥石的B X和B XS球是他职业生涯中打过的最好的球。

Bridgestone is a pioneer in matching golf balls to swing speeds, manifested best in its B series. Those with swing speeds of 105 mph and over will benefit most from the BX and BXS models, while those under 105 can rely on the BRX and BRXS balls to optimize their results. For those who are seeking maximum distance and more control in a “non-tour” ball can find a myriad of other choices.
桥石是根据挥杆速度匹配高尔夫球的先驱,在其B系列中体现得最好。挥杆速度在105英里/小时及以上的球员最适合B X和B XS型号,而速度在105以下的球员可以依靠B RX和B RXS球来优化他们的成绩。那些寻求在“非巡回赛”球中获得最大距离和更多控制的球员可以找到众多其他选择。

USGTF members enjoy a personal use discount on Bridgestone balls. Please call the USGTF National Office at (772) 88-USGTF or (772) 595-6490 for more information.

EDITORIAL – MAJOR GOLF ENTITIES LIKE PGA OF AMERICA, GOLF DIGEST, ETC. TAKE NOTE OF USGTF’S SUCCESS.
社论 – 美国职业高尔夫协会和《高尔夫文摘》等高尔夫实体开始关注USGTF的成功

During its annual membership meeting in 1992, the PGA of America was concerned about a new entity that had come on board in 1989 – that entity, of course, being the USGTF. The PGA’s then-president stated to the membership, “If we aren’t careful, this won’t be our industry anymore.” The PGA was so concerned that starting in 1994, for the first time ever, it required prospective Class A members to learn about teaching golf where before it had only been optional.
在其1992年的年度会员大会上,美国职业高尔夫协会(PGA of America)对1989年新加入的一个实体表示关注——那个实体自然是USGTF。当时的PGA会长对会员说:“如果我们再不小心,这将不再是我们的行业。”PGA如此关注,以至于从1994年开始,首次要求准A类会员学习高尔夫教学,而之前这只是可选的。

Here we are, 32 years later, and the PGA has recognized the staying power of the USGTF and no longer views us as competition. Recently, a representative of the PGA of America visited the USGTF National Office in a spirit of cooperation in potentially forming a partnership, the likes of which will be determined at a future date.
32年后的今天,PGA已经认识到了USGTF的持久力,并不再将我们视为竞争对手。最近,美国职业高尔夫协会的一名代表访问了USGTF国家办公室,双方可能形成合作伙伴关系,具体合作内容将在未来确定。

The sport’s most prominent publication, Golf Digest, has also taken note. It now offers its own certification program online, somewhat modeled after the USGTF’s. In fact, Golf Digest has approached the USGTF about a mutually beneficial arrangement that is still being studied by USGTF president and CEO Brandon Lee.
体育界最著名的出版物《高尔夫文摘》(Golf Digest)也注意到了这一点。它现在在线提供自己的认证程序,这在某种程度上是模仿USGTF的。事实上,《高尔夫文摘》已经就一项对双方都有利的安排与USGTF的总裁兼首席执行官Brandon Lee接洽,目前这个提议仍在研究中。

In its 35th year of operation, the USGTF is no longer the new kid on the block, but is instead a recognized stakeholder in the game of golf. This is thanks to the hard work of founder and president Geoff Bryant, which is now being continued by Lee and the rest of the USGTF staff, and is also a testament to the quality of membership that the USGTF possesses.
在运营的第35个年头,USGTF不再是行业新手,而是成为了高尔夫球游戏的一个公认利益相关者。这要归功于创始人兼总裁Geoff Bryant的辛勤工作,现在由Lee和USGTF的其他工作人员继续,这也证明了USGTF会员的高质量。
