“PRO” FILE – SENTRY WINNER CHRIS KIRK
“职业档案” – SENTRY锦标赛冠军克里斯·柯克

One of the most prolific universities to place players on the PGA Tour has been the University of Georgia. It seems no week goes by without a player from UGA on the leaderboard, and The Sentry leaderboard was topped by none other than former Bulldog Chris Kirk.
乔治亚大学一直是培养PGA巡回赛球员最成功的大学之一。似乎每周都会有UGA的球员登上排行榜,而在Sentry锦标赛中,排行榜榜首的竟然是前UGA的球员克里斯·柯克。

Kirk’s victory marked a continuing renaissance of sorts, as he had taken a leave of absence from the PGA Tour in 2019 to deal with alcoholism and mental health issues. He steadily made his way back to prominence, and won the Honda Classic in early 2023 to complete his comeback.
柯克的胜利标志着一种持续的复兴,因为他在2019年曾暂别PGA巡回赛,以处理酗酒和心理健康问题。他稳健地回到聚光灯下,并在2023年初赢得了本田经典赛,完成了他的复出之路。

When healthy and focused, Kirk is a force to be reckoned with. He now has six PGA Tour victories and at 38 years of age, he has plenty of time to pick up a few more wins before it’s time to hang up his spikes.
在身体健康和专注的状态下,柯克是一股不可忽视的力量。他现在已经取得了六次PGA巡回赛的胜利,而在38岁时,他还有足够的时间在退役之前赢得更多比赛。

 

“PRO” FILE – USGTF MEMBER SCOTT HENRY
“职业” 档案 – USGTF会员 斯科特·亨利

A native of Texas, Scott Henry started out playing golf at the age of 8 years old with his father, who was an accomplished local athlete himself. Once his abilities exceeded those of his father’s in the game of golf, he turned to several coaches and golf professionals in the area to further his training as a golfer.
作为得克萨斯州本地人,斯科特·亨利在8岁时就开始和他的父亲一起打高尔夫球,他的父亲是一位成就卓越的当地运动员。一旦他在高尔夫比赛中的能力超过了父亲,他改投该地区的几位教练和高尔夫职业,以进一步培训自己成为一名高尔夫球手。

With their coaching and guidance, Henry turned pro after playing college golf for the University of Texas–Rio Grande Valley. He went on to work as an assistant golf professional at Champion Lakes Golf Course in McAllen, Texas, moving his way up to the director of golf years later. In 1998, Henry became a certified USGTF golf professional. He has played in multiple United States Golf Teachers Cups across the country and in Canada. All the while, Henry was working with his students from ages 4 all the way to 94 years of age.
在他们的指导和辅导下,亨利在为德克萨斯州 – 里约格兰德谷大学(University of Texas–Rio Grande Valley)打高尔夫后转为职业球手。他继续在得克萨斯州麦卡伦市的Champion Lakes Golf Course担任助理高尔夫专业人员,数年后晋升为高尔夫总监。1998年,亨利成为了一名经过认证的USGTF高尔夫专业人员。他曾在美国多个地方和加拿大参加过多次美国高尔夫教师杯比赛。与此同时,亨利一直在教授年龄从4岁到94岁的学生。

Henry is guided by one of golf’s unwritten rules: One gives back to the game what golf has given him. For this reason, he has worked as the head golf coach at local high schools. Henry is currently the head coach at Sharyland Pioneer High School in Mission, Texas, where the girls team is the defending champions. His desire is to continue this tradition and achievements with the team.
亨利遵循着高尔夫的一项潜规则:将自己从高尔夫中获得的回馈还给这个运动。出于这个原因,他曾担任当地高中的高尔夫队主教练。亨利目前是得克萨斯州米西翁市Sharyland Pioneer高中的主教练,该校女子团队是卫冕冠军。他的愿望是继续与团队保持这一传统并取得成就。

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT – ALEX KROFL
明星学生 – 亚历克斯·克罗夫尔

Alex Krofl from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, started golfing by going to the driving range around 11 years old. He took an interest in golf and would tag along with his dad every chance he got. His dream was to make his high school golf team.
来自宾夕法尼亚州兰开斯特的亚历克斯·克罗夫尔在大约11岁左右开始打高尔夫,最初是在练习场。他对高尔夫产生了兴趣,并会尽一切机会跟随他的父亲一起打球。他的梦想是成为高中高尔夫队的一员。

At 13 years of age in the fall of 2022, Alex started his first lessons with Dr. Sharon Barley, an LPGA and USGTF teaching professional. She works out of Injoy Golf Club, an indoor facility in Lancaster; the Manor Golf Club in Sinking Spring, PA; Iron Valley Golf Club in Lebanon, PA, and is a Division II assistant coach for the men’s and women’s golf teams at Millersville University in Millersville, PA.
在2022年秋天,13岁的亚历克斯开始接受由Sharon Barley博士(一位LPGA和USGTF专业教练)提供的第一堂课。她在兰开斯特的Injoy高尔夫俱乐部(室内练习馆)、宾夕法尼亚州Sinking Spring的Manor高尔夫俱乐部、宾夕法尼亚州Lebanon的Iron Valley高尔夫俱乐部工作,并且是宾夕法尼亚州Millersville大学男子和女子高尔夫队的二级助理教练。

“When I met Alex, he had a lot of natural talent, but needed to improve his balance, swing plane and impact to improve his ball flight and consistency,” remarked Barley. “Alex worked hard in lessons and in practice through the winter of 2022, and also into the spring and summer of 2023. He showed extraordinary improvement in distance and ball flight and controlling his shots around the green. Alex was a natural putter, having an uncanny gift for reading greens, and a natural sense of distance, too. He made it look easy.”
Barley评论说:“当我遇到亚历克斯时,他拥有很多天赋,但需要改善他的平衡、挥杆平面和击球,以提高球飞行状态和一致性。” “亚历克斯在2022年冬季的课程和练习中努力工作,一直到2023年春季和夏季。他在距离和球路以及在果岭周围控制球的方面取得了非凡的进步。亚历克斯是一位天生的推杆手,对阅读果岭拥有惊人的天赋,而且对距离也有天生的感觉。他让一切看起来轻松自如。”

At the end of the summer 2023, at 14 years old, Alex made his high school golf team as a freshman. He was the only freshman to make the team for his high school, the Lampeter-Strasburg Pioneers. This past summer, Alex and his father also competed together in the Philadelphia U.S. Kids golf tournament. His parents are Bryan and Sonja Krofl. Alex is continuing lessons this spring and looks forward to making an even greater contribution to his team this fall.
在2023年夏季结束时,14岁的亚历克斯作为一名新生成功进入了他的高中高尔夫队。他是他所在高中(Lampeter-Strasburg Pioneers)唯一一个进入队伍的新生。在过去的夏季,亚历克斯和他的父亲还一同参加了费城美国儿童高尔夫锦标赛。他的父母是布莱恩(Bryan)和索尼娅(Sonja)·克罗夫尔。亚历克斯将在今年春季继续上课,并期待在今年秋季为他的队伍做出更大的贡献。
