The year 2022 continued to see massive growth in the WGTF of GB&I and all its subsidiaries. Some of our goals may be limited if governments around the world do not come to terms with practical elements caused by the pandemic, but for everyone, it will remain an opportunity to build stronger resilience and discover more effective solutions than ever before.

Three of the coaches attending have already started to coach. Participants have included an ex-tour player, international hurler, event manager, pro footballer, international independent adviser, plus many more, proving those who truly want to help others play better golf can appear from any walk of life!

“PRO” FILE – TOURING PROFESSIONAL ADAM SVENSSON
职业档案：巡回赛职业球员 亚当 斯文森
With a last name like “Svensson,” you would be forgiven to think the PGA Tour’s latest winner came from a Scandinavian country. Not exactly, although his hometown of Surrey, British Columbia, oftentimes has the same winter weather. He always excelled at golf, winning the Canadian Boys Junior Championship in 2012.
因为“Svensson”这样的姓氏，你是不是会很自然地认为这位PGA巡回赛的最新冠军来自斯堪的纳维亚国家。实际上并不完全是，尽管他的家乡不列颠哥伦比亚省萨里市经常有同样的冬季天气。 斯文森擅长打高尔夫球，并在2012年赢得了加拿大男子少年锦标赛冠军。
Svensson matriculated at Barry University in Miami, Florida, where he once again excelled. He won nine tournaments, was twice the NCAA Division II individual champion, and was a first-team All-American. He turned professional in 2015, and in 2018 won on what is now the Korn Ferry Tour. He earned his PGA Tour card for 2019 but lost it, only to regain it for the 2021-22 season.
斯文森被佛罗里达州迈阿密的巴里大学录取，在那里他再次表现出色。 他赢得了九场比赛，两次获得 NCAA Division II 个人冠军，并且入选全美最佳阵容。他在 2015年转为职业选手，并在 2018年赢得了现在的光辉国际巡回赛。 他赢得了2019年的美巡赛参赛卡，但后来丢失了资格，直到 2021-22 赛季才再次重新获得。
His victory in November’s RSM Classic in Georgia is a continuation of his rise in golf. Svensson’s career has been on a steady upward trend ever since he first picked up a club. It is likely this trend will continue for years to come.
他在2022年11月的格鲁吉亚 RSM 精英赛中获胜是他在高尔夫领域崛起的延续。斯文森的职业生涯自他第一次拿起高尔夫球杆以来一直处于稳步上升的状态。 这种趋势很可能会在未来几年持续下去。
“PRO” FILE – TEACHING PROFESSIONAL SCOTT LEHMAN
职业教练档案 -斯科特·雷曼
Scott Lehman of Nashville, Tennessee, first picked up a club in 1969 at the age of 8 in his hometown of Ripon, Wisconsin. Continuing to play during his youth, Lehman played on the Ripon High School team for four years.
田纳西州纳什维尔的斯科特·莱曼 (Scott Lehman) 于 1969 年在他的家乡威斯康星州里彭 (Ripon) 当他8岁时首次拿起了球杆。 雷曼在年轻的时候继续打球，在里彭高中队打了四年球。
He went to the University of Wisconsin-LaCross and graduated with a degree in Marketing in 1984. As he was interested in surfing and the beach, he bought a one-way ticket to San Diego and, along with a high school friend who had graduated from the University of San Diego, started selling surfboards, skateboards, tee shirts, etc. He developed a very successful sales career, and years later relocated to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It was there that his company was bought out and he lost his job.
他去了威斯康星大学拉克罗斯分校，并于 1984 年获得市场营销学位。由于他对冲浪和海滩很感兴趣，他买了一张去圣地亚哥的单程机票，并和一位已经毕业的高中朋友一起 来自圣地亚哥大学，开始销售冲浪板、滑板、T恤等。他的销售生涯非常成功，多年后搬到爱荷华州锡达拉皮兹。 在那里，他的公司被收购。
Following a period of uncertainty, he and his wife Leslie became committed Christians, and their faith has played a huge role in their lives ever since. He became a USGTF member in 1998, and eventually he and Leslie moved to Nashville. In, 2007, Lehman started In His Grip golf ministries, named after the book that led him on his faith journey. Since then, he has shared his life story at the Masters Prayer Breakfast in Augusta, Georgia; co-authored the book The Master’s Grip, and authored More Than a Game, among other achievements. Lehman’s latest project is that he is the associate producer of the new Payne Stewart movie set to come out in 2024.
在经历了一段不确定的时期后，他和妻子莱斯利成为了坚定的基督徒，从那时起，他们的信仰就在他们的生活中发挥了巨大的作用。 他于 1998 年成为 USGTF会员，最终他和莱斯利搬到了纳什维尔。 2007年，雷曼 (Lehman)开始了In His Grip高尔夫工坊，该工坊以引导他踏上信仰之旅的书命名。 从那时起，他就在佐治亚州奥古斯塔举行的大师祈祷早餐会上分享了他的人生故事； 与人合著了《大师之握》一书，并创作了《不仅仅是一场比赛》等成就。 雷曼的最新项目是他是 2024 年上映的佩恩·斯图尔特新电影的副制片人。
Lehman and his wife Leslie still live in Nashville with their son Micah.
雷曼和他的妻子 Leslie 与他们的儿子 Micah 仍然住在纳什维尔。
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT – CHUCK COLFER
明星学生：查克·科尔弗
By Pat Church, USGTF Master, Eugene, Oregon
作者：Pat Church，USGTF 大师级教练，俄勒冈州尤金
Many of us have students that stand out and have done wonderful things in this game of golf. I have one who is very “Special.”
我们中的许多人都有非常出色的学生，他们在高尔夫运动中有着出色的成绩。 我就有一个非常“特别”的学生。
Meet Chuck Colfer, a 72-year-old Special Olympics athlete who competes in bowling, powerlifting and golf. His haul of medals and ribbons are way too numerous to count.
来认识一下查克·科佛Chuck Colfer，他是一位 72 岁的特奥会运动员，参加过保龄球、举重和高尔夫比赛。 他的奖牌和奖杯多得数不过来。
I met Chuck when I started coaching golf for our local Special Olympics program in 2004. He then competed in the Skills grouping: putting, chipping, pitching, drive and irons. He was consistent and always finished “in the money” within his age grouping.
2004 年，当我开始为我们当地的特奥会项目执教高尔夫时，我遇到了查克。然后他参加了技能组的比赛：推杆、切杆、劈起球、开球和铁杆。 他始终如一，并且总是在他的年龄组中“赚到钱”。
As the years went by, Chuck always alerted his family when it was time to go golf with Coach Pat. He never missed a practice and was always ready to do his best. His form is not a pretty sight, but his commitment is! In 2012 his mother died, and his family found him a personal care worker – enter Roy. With Roy’s help, Chuck blossomed: more talkative, but not a conversationalist; more outgoing and even more engaged in his golf. Chuck and Roy became a Unified team that played alternate shot for nine holes. They struggled at first, but grew into a strong team, usually still finishing in the medal rounds.
随着岁月的流逝，查克总是在和帕特教练一起去打高尔夫球时提醒他的家人。 他从不错过任何一次训练，并且时刻准备着全力以赴。 他的姿势并不完美，但他承诺将会做到更漂亮！ 2012 年，他的母亲去世了，他的家人为他找到了一名个人护理员——罗伊。在罗伊的帮助下，查克打开了自己：开始变得开朗，更加外向，更热衷于打高尔夫球。 查克和罗伊组成了一支球队，他们在九个洞中交替击球。 他们起初很挣扎，但后来成长为一支强大的组合，通常都能在决赛轮中完成比赛。
Every year come September, he begins his countdown to his birthday…in November. I am always invited to his birthday dinner at his favorite diner – such a grand night. Chuck and other Special Olympic athletes have made me a better, more patient teacher. His friendship has enriched my life and now in my semi-retirement, Chuck, Roy and I play as often as we can.
每年的9月，他都会开始倒计时 11月份的生日。 我总是被邀请去他最喜欢的餐厅参加他的生日晚宴——非常棒的夜晚。 查克和其他特奥运动员让我成为了一名更好、更有耐心的老师。 他的友谊丰富了我的生活，现在在我的半退休状态中，查克、罗伊和我尽可能多地打球。

EDITORIAL – TO PARAPHRASE AN OLD SAYING, “LIV AND LET LIVE”
编辑精选：套用一句老话“宽以待人”（LIVE AND LET LIVE）
By: Mark Harman, Director of Education 作者：马克·哈曼 教育总监
The biggest news to hit the golf world in 2022 was the creation of the LIV Golf Tour. With Greg Norman as its commissioner, LIV drew a few of the biggest names in golf away from the PGA Tour, most notably Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed, Phil Mickelson and Cameron Smith.
2022年轰动高尔夫界的最大新闻是LIV高尔夫巡回赛的创立。 在格雷格·诺曼 (Greg Norman) 担任其主席的情况下，LIV 吸引了一些来自 PGA 巡回赛的高尔夫界知名人士，最著名的是达斯汀·约翰逊 (Dustin Johnson)、布赖森·德尚博 (Bryson DeChambeau)、布鲁克斯·科普卡 (Brooks Koepka)、帕特里克·里德 (Patrick Reed)、菲尔·米克尔森 (Phil Mickelson) 和卡梅隆·史密斯 (Cameron Smith)。
While the USGTF’s official position on LIV Golf is one of neutrality, it can be stated with certainty that the new venture will continue to be a presence in 2023. Many people have a problem with the source of the funding for the new tour – the Saudi Arabian government’s Public Investment Fund, while others have pointed out that many American corporations and even our government do business with Saudi Arabia. Both sides have valid arguments.
虽然 USGTF 对 LIV Golf 的官方立场是中立的，但可以肯定地说，新的巡回赛将在 2023 年继续存在。许多人对新巡回赛的资金来源沙特阿拉伯政府的公共投资基金有着疑问，然而许多美国公司以及美国政府都与沙特阿拉伯有业务往来。 双方都有正当理由。
I have watched a few of the tournaments on YouTube, and the production is somewhat different from that of the PGA Tour’s. A “pylon” on the left side of the screen continually updates with the position of the players, and many shots are shown. There is also a team aspect to the tournaments, which to me seems somewhat of a gimmick, but the players have apparently bought into it.
我在 YouTube 上看过几场比赛，转播与 PGA 巡回赛有些不同。 屏幕左侧的“排行榜”会随着球员的位置不断更新，并显示更多的镜头。巡回赛也有团队方面的元素，对我来说这似乎有点噱头，但球员们显然已经接受了。
I personally don’t understand the PGA Tour suspending players who went to LIV. I would love for someone to ask commissioner Jay Monahan how it benefits the PGA Tour that the above-mentioned players are no longer allowed to compete on that tour. At any rate, it seems the LIV Tour is here to stay for at least another year or two, if not longer. Golf’s other entities need to come to grips with this fact and find a way to coexist.
我个人不理解为什么PGA巡回赛要禁赛去LIV巡回赛参赛的球员。我很希望问杰伊·莫纳汉委员，禁赛这些球员，不允许他们参加美巡赛对美巡赛有何好处。 无论怎样，LIV巡回赛似乎至少会再坚持一两年，有可能会更久。 其他的高尔夫组织都应当正视这一现实，找出大家可以共赢的方法。
