“PRO” FILE – TOURING PROFESSIONAL JON RAHM
职业球员档案 – 琼•拉姆Jon Rahm
You can rearrange the letters of Jon Rahm’s las name to form the word “harm.” And few of his competitors would argue that Rahm is causing great harm to their chances of winning golf tournaments these days.
Jon Rahm的姓氏字母可以重新排列组成单词” harm(harm的意思是伤害,通常指对人、动物或物体造成的损害或不良影响)”。目前,他的竞争对手中很少有人会否认Rahm在赢得高尔夫锦标赛方面的实力。
Rahm captured his second major championship of his career when he won the Masters this past April. Rahm was truly a master at Augusta National as he methodically overtook third-round leader Brooks Koepka and kept plodding his way to victory. For Rahm, this season has been yet another quantum leap in his career. He has now won four tournaments this year and five in the past 12 months. Rahm is part of a new “Big Three” which includes Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. For a while, it seemed as if these three were all about equal, but with Rahm winning the season’s first official major, combined with his four victories, he has, for the moment, separated himself from the other two.
今年四月份,Rahm在大师赛上获得了他职业生涯的第二个大满贯冠军。在奥古斯塔国家高尔夫俱乐部,Rahm的表现真是出色。他从第三轮领先者布鲁克斯•科普卡手中缓慢但有条不紊地反超,并最终获得胜利。对于Rahm来说,本赛季是他职业生涯的又一次飞跃。他今年已经赢得了四个锦标赛,并在过去12个月内赢得了五个锦标赛。Rahm是新的“大三巨头”之一,另外两位是罗里•麦克罗伊和斯科蒂•谢夫勒。一段时间以来,这三位球员似乎都差不多,但随着Rahm赢得本赛季第一个正式大满贯赛事,并结合他赢得的四个胜利,他暂时超越了其他两位选手。

职业教练档案:杰瑞•汉斯
By Jerry Heinz
作者 杰瑞•汉斯
I was certified through the USGTF in 2008 and started teaching at Cottonwood Golf Club in El Cajon, California, that same year. I worked with San Diego Chargers and San Diego Padre players, and also Hollywood celebrities. I worked with my kids camps, which was fabulous, and helped several charity events with the Wounded Warriors and Susan G. Komen (breast cancer) charities, and more.
我在2008年通过美国高尔夫教练协会(USGTF)的认证,同年开始在加利福尼亚州埃尔卡洪的Cottonwood高尔夫俱乐部教授高尔夫。我曾经与圣迭戈闪电队和圣迭戈教士队球员,以及好莱坞名人一起工作。我还参与了我的孩子们的高尔夫夏令营,这是非常棒的经历,并帮助过几次慈善活动,包括伤残战士和Susan G. Komen(乳腺癌)慈善机构等等。
My last two years teaching in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, I was at The Refuge Golf Club, an Arnold Palmer design. Unfortunately, the course went bankrupt again and now I work towards qualifying for the PGA Tour Champions. My game feels great, and I’ve had the pleasure of being gifted with Sqairz golf shoes. The founder of Sqairz has been very kind to me. He also said currently John Daly, Nick Faldo, Sepp Straka and myself are the only ones currently wearing the newest pair, with the breast cancer pink ones being my favorite.
在亚利桑那州Lake Havasu City教授高尔夫的最后两年,我在Arnold Palmer设计的The Refuge高尔夫俱乐部任教。不幸的是,球场再次破产,现在我正在努力获得PGA巡回赛冠军赛的资格。我感觉我的球技很棒,也很幸运地收到了Sqairz送给我的高尔夫鞋礼物。Sqairz的创始人非常善良。他还说目前只有约翰•戴利(John Daly)、尼克•法尔多(Nick Faldo)、Sepp Straka和我正穿着这款鞋的最新款,而粉色的乳腺癌鞋是我最喜欢的一款。
I finished fifth in the U.S. Golf Teachers Cup a couple years ago in Las Vegas. It was great meeting all the members. I had a blast a few years ago doing a podcast with John Daly and Bob Menery. John is very generous, as he sent me another lion headcover which, yellow being my favorite color, I added two feet of yellow dreadlocks to it. He also sent me his new CD which I enjoy.
几年前我在拉斯维加斯参加的美国高尔夫教师杯比赛中获得第五名。见到所有会员是很棒的经历。几年前,我和约翰•戴利和鲍勃•梅内瑞(Bob Menery)一起录制播客非常有趣。约翰非常慷慨,他给我寄了另一个狮子头杆头套,黄色是我最喜欢的颜色,我还在上面加了两英尺的黄色脏辫。他还给我寄了他的新专辑,我非常喜欢。
I have four children who are adults now: Tyler, Connor, Katie and Cameron. Connor is pursuing his path with the PGA and working at a private country club, still trying to beat Dad (me) on the course.
我有四个孩子,现在都成年了:Tyler、Connor、Katie和Cameron。Connor正在追求他在PGA的道路,并在一个私人乡村俱乐部工作,仍在试图在球场上打败他们的父亲(我)。
My teaching does not always involve cash money. I enjoy helping individuals at any given time, even if it’s just a grip change or setup tip which I always share examples through photos and videos. I moved to Arizona six years ago full-time to help my mother, who suffered from dementia. I acquired my job at The Refuge immediately. They brought me into the team in a very short time. They loved my portfolio, and the rest is history.
我的教学并不总是涉及到现金。我随时都喜欢帮助别人,即使只是一个握杆或站位的技巧,我也总是通过照片和视频分享示例。六年前我全职搬到亚利桑那州来帮助患有痴呆症的母亲。我很快就在The Refuge获得了工作。他们很喜欢我的作品集,其余的就成为历史了。
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT – REESE WOODBURY
明星学生 – REESE WOODBURY
He’s only been playing golf for three years, but Reese Woodbury from Stuart, Florida, has legitimate Division I college golf aspirations. Already an accomplished golfer, Reese has won four out of the eight tournaments he’s entered this year on the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, including the very first one he played. Oh, and by the way, he’s also shot a personal best of 63…already!
来自佛罗里达州斯图尔特的Reese Woodbury才打了三年高尔夫球,但他成为了大学一年级的正式的高尔夫球队的一员。Reese已经是一个有成就的高尔夫球手,今年参加了飓风青少年高尔夫球巡回赛中的八场比赛中赢得了其中的四场,其中包括他参加的第一场比赛。此外,顺便提一句,他还打出了个人最佳成绩63杆!
After a basketball injury, Reese looked for a sport where he could compete and be successful. He was drawn to the game, in part, because his father Michael had played a lot of golf. Reese cites the “cool atmosphere” of the game that he sees on television as one allure, along with the individual aspect to the game, in contrast with his former sport.
在篮球受伤之后,Reese寻找了一项可以竞争并取得成功的运动。他被高尔夫球所吸引,其中一部分原因是他的父亲Michael打了很多高尔夫球。Reese认为,他在电视上看到的比赛“酷炫的氛围”以及不同于他以前的运动方面都是吸引他的理由。
USGTF Master Golf Teaching Professional Jerry Ellstrom serves as Reese’s coach, and said, “I love his focus and confidence in his abilities. He’s willing to stay with it in terms of the different challenges of the game.” Showing the depth of affection between the two, Ellstrom teases him by calling him “Stump,” because Reese likes to try to take his ball over the trees of doglegs and inevitably his ball winds up next to a stump.
USGTF高尔夫球大师教学专家Jerry Ellstrom是Reese的教练,他说:“我喜欢他对自己能力的专注和自信。他愿意在应对比赛的不同挑战而坚持不懈。” 两人之间的感情深厚,Ellstrom经常取笑他,称他为“Stump”,因为Reese喜欢试图在狗腿的树上越过球,不可避免地球总是落在树桩旁边。
Reese said the strength of his game is from tee to green, and although you can’t shoot the scores he does by being a mediocre putter, he said there’s always room for improvement in that area. Reese also commented, “I want to thank my dad for all the time and energy he’s put into allowing me to follow my dreams and hopes, and to allow me to practice at the finest facilities.” Reese’s dream school is Arizona State University, where he cited the program’s history and the allure of the Phoenix area. Keep an eye out for this young man, because it’s certain you’ll hear his name again soon.
Reese表示,他的比赛的优势在于从发球台到果岭,虽然不能算是平庸的推杆手,但他表示在这方面还有提高的空间。Reese还说:“我要感谢我的父亲,他为我追求梦想和希望投入的所有时间和精力,以及让我在最好的场地练习。” Reese的梦想学校是亚利桑那州立大学,他认为该校历史和凤凰城地区的吸引力是他喜欢的主要原因。请注意这个年轻人,因为你肯定很快就会再次听到他的名字。

EDITORIAL – ETIQUETTE: HOLDING PROFESSIONALS TO A HIGHER STANDARD
编辑精选:请保持职业教练的高标准
As USGTF professionals, we are the ultimate ambassadors for the game of golf, and with that role comes great responsibility. It is important to uphold a high standard of behavior and etiquette, not only to put the organization and the game of golf in a good light, but it’s also important from a personal point of view. And no, that’s not being selfish.
作为美国高尔夫教练协会的职业教练,我们是高尔夫运动的终极大使,因此也拥有巨大的责任。保持高水准的行为和礼仪至关重要,这不仅能让协会和高尔夫运动呈现出好的形象,也对个人有重要意义。而且,这并不是自私。
What does it mean to uphold a higher standard of behavior and etiquette that may be different than what is expected of amateurs? First and foremost, it means keeping one’s composure in all circumstances, even if doing so may be difficult. This allows for rational thinking and the ability to solve problems or diffuse tricky situations. Losing composure simply adds to the chaos that may exist.
什么是保持高水准的行为和礼仪,可能不同于对业余爱好者的期望?首先和最重要的是,在任何情况下都要保持冷静,即使这可能很困难。这有助于理性思考和解决问题或缓解棘手的局面。失去冷静只会加剧可能存在的混乱。
Personal appearance is another important aspect. Dress codes have been loosened in recent years, but the uniform of the professional remains intact. Female professionals have a little more leeway than do male professionals in this regard, but there are still certain standards that apply to everyone. It also commands an air of respect when the professional’s appearance matches his or her role in the golf industry.
个人形象是另一个重要方面。近年来,着装规定已经变得更加宽松,但职业教练的规定依然没有改变。在这方面,女专业人员比男专业人员具有更大的自由度,但仍有一定的标准适用于所有人。当职业教练的外型与他们在高尔夫行业中的角色相匹配时,这也会带来一种尊重的氛围。
Finally, there are times when we play golf with our members or our students. Sure, it might be tough to hit bad shots and not play our best, but it’s important to remember that we are not playing golf for a living, so in perspective, what we shoot doesn’t affect our lives in any way, shape or form. But how we react to poor play does, and it also sets the example – good or bad – for all to see.
最后,我们有时会与我们的会员或学生一起打高尔夫球。当然,出现打糟糕的球或没有发挥出最佳水平可能是一种窘态,但重要的是要记住我们不是以打球为生,因此从这个角度看,我们打的成绩并不会以任何方式影响我们的生活。但是,我们对不好的球的反应会产生影响,并且会为所有人树立榜样-无论是好的还是坏的。保持积极的态度并对错误做出建设性反应可以帮助创建积极和尊重的文化,最终有益于整个运动。
