NEWS FROM NEPAL
尼泊尔高尔夫新闻
Golf in Nepal has long been associated with seasoned professionals and institutional players. But today, a new narrative is unfolding. Junior golfers are stepping into the spotlight, bringing energy, competitiveness and fresh aspirations. Across the country, young players are picking up clubs earlier than ever before. Supported by coaches, families and clubs, they are training with purpose of dreaming not just national titles, but of international fairways.
尼泊尔的高尔夫运动长期以来一直与经验丰富的职业选手和机构球员联系在一起。但如今，一个新的故事正在展开。青少年高尔夫球员正逐步走上舞台，带来活力、竞争力和全新的 aspiration（志向）。
At the center of this movement lies Nepal’s oldest and most prestigious golf venue, Royal Nepal Golf Club. In 2025, RNGC continues to serve as the breeding ground for junior talent. The club’s calendar is filled with competitions that allow young golfers to test their skills under real tournament conditions. More importantly, it provides something invaluable: exposure. Here, juniors play alongside experienced golfers, learning not just technique, but the etiquette and mental strength that define the sport.
在全国范围内，年轻球员比以往任何时候都更早开始接触高尔夫。在教练、家庭和球会的支持下，他们带着明确的目标进行训练，不仅梦想获得国家冠军，更向往征战国际赛场。
Among the most anticipated fixtures of the year is the Matrika Eye Monthly Medal Tournament. Played regularly at RNGC, this event has evolved into a crucial platform for junior golfers. Unlike many junior-only competitions, the Monthly Medal places young players in a mixed competitive field. This creates a unique environment, one where emerging talent measure themselves against seasoned competitors.
这场运动的核心，正是尼泊尔历史最悠久、最负盛名的皇家尼泊尔高尔夫俱乐部（Royal Nepal Golf Club）。2025年，RNGC继续作为青少年人才的摇篮。俱乐部全年赛事密集，让年轻球员能够在真实的比赛环境中检验自己的实力。更重要的是，它提供了极其宝贵的曝光机会——在这里，青少年球员与经验丰富的选手同场竞技，不仅学习技术，更领悟这项运动所特有的礼仪和心理韧性。
While mixed events play a vital role, dedicated junior tournaments remain the backbone of development. RNGC and associated organizers continue to host junior-specific competitions tailored to different age groups. From under-10 hopefuls to under-18 contenders, these tournaments provide structured pathways for growth. They emphasize skill refinement, competitive mindset, ranking and recognition. Each tournament becomes a learning ground, where young golfers sharpen not just their swings, but their resilience.
今年最受期待的赛事之一是 Matrika Eye 月度奖牌赛。这项在RNGC定期举行的赛事，已逐渐成为青少年高尔夫球员的重要平台。与许多仅限青少年的比赛不同，月度奖牌赛将年轻球员置于混合竞技场中，这创造了一个独特的环境，让新兴人才能够与资深选手直接较量。
For Nepal’s junior golfers, the sport is more than fairways and scorecards. It is a journey of character. They learn patience in long rounds, humility in defeat, and confidence in progress. Early mornings at the driving range, hours spent perfecting a single shot – these are the unseen moments that shape future champions. Parents, coaches, and institutions are increasingly recognizing the value of golf as a developmental sport. It teaches discipline in a way few others can.
虽然混合赛事发挥着重要作用，但专为青少年举办的比赛仍是人才培养的基石。RNGC及相关组织持续举办针对不同年龄组的青少年专场赛事。从U10的潜力新星到U18的争冠者，这些赛事为他们提供了结构化的成长路径，强调技术精进、竞技心态、排名提升和荣誉认可。每一次比赛都成为学习场域，让年轻球员不仅磨炼挥杆，更锻造坚韧品格。
The trajectory of junior golf in Nepal is unmistakably upward. With consistent tournaments like the Matrika Eye Monthly Medal and a strong foundation at RNGC, young golfers now have the stage to grow. The future of Nepali golf is no longer a distant vision. It is already here, walking the fairways, one swing at a time. From quiet sessions to competitive glory, Nepal’s junior golfers are writing a new chapter -one that promises excellence, passion and global ambition.
对尼泊尔的青少年高尔夫球员来说，这项运动远不止球道和记分卡。它是一场性格的旅程。他们在漫长的比赛中学会耐心，在失败中学会谦逊，在进步中建立自信。清晨在练习场挥杆、数小时反复打磨一个动作——这些不为人知的时刻，正在塑造未来的冠军。
家长、教练和机构越来越认识到高尔夫作为一项成长型运动的价值。它以独特的方式培养纪律性，这是其他少数运动才能做到的。
尼泊尔青少年高尔夫的发展轨迹正明显向上。随着 Matrika Eye 月度奖牌赛等稳定赛事的举办，以及RNGC的坚实基础，年轻球员如今拥有了成长的舞台。尼泊尔高尔夫的未来不再是遥远的愿景，它已经在这里，在球道上，一杆一杆地前行。
从安静的练习到竞技的荣耀，尼泊尔的青少年高尔夫球员正在书写新的篇章——一个充满卓越、热情与全球抱负的篇章。

“PRO”FILE – TOURING PROFESSIONAL – RORY MCILROY
「PRO」档案 – 巡回赛职业球员 – 罗里·麦克罗伊
A little over a year ago everyone was asking, “Will Rory ever win the Masters?” Today, the question could well be, “Will Rory ever not win the Masters.” For the second consecutive year, Rory McIlroy has taken home the green jacket, holding off world #1 Scottie Scheffler, who made a spirited bid over the weekend but fell short.
就在一年多以前，所有人都在问：“罗里到底什么时候才能赢得大师赛？”
而今天，这个问题很可能变成了：“罗里会不会一直赢下去？”
As was with the case of Phil Mickelson, McIlroy took years before donning the green jacket. Mickelson went on to win the event three times, and at this pace, it seems certain that McIlroy will do at least that. He is now only one of three golfers, including Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, to win the career Grand Slam and consecutive Masters – truly an historic achievement. With this win, McIlroy can now lay claim to the greatest golfer to ever come out of Europe, and likely one of the ten best to ever play the game.
罗里·麦克罗伊连续第二年穿上绿夹克，再度称雄大师赛。他在周末成功抵挡了世界排名第一的斯科蒂·舍夫勒的强势冲击，后者虽全力追赶，但最终未能如愿。
就像当年的菲尔·米克尔森一样，麦克罗伊也用了多年时间才首次穿上绿夹克。米克尔森最终三次赢得大师赛，按照目前的势头，麦克罗伊至少也将达成这一成就。他现在已成为历史上仅有的三位同时完成职业大满贯并连续赢得大师赛的球员之一，另外两位是杰克·尼克劳斯和泰格·伍兹——这无疑是一项历史性的伟大成就。凭借这场胜利，麦克罗伊现在可以毫无争议地被称为欧洲历史上最伟大的高尔夫球手，并且极有可能跻身高尔夫史上十大球手之列。
“PRO” FILE – USGTF MEMBER – SCOTT HART
「PRO」档案 – USGTF会员 – 斯科特·哈特
As a native of Michigan, Scott Hart started playing golf at the age of 8 with his father, who had cut off some old steel-shafted golf clubs to make them the right length for him. He quickly fell in love with the sport and devoted all his spare time to playing as much as possible. During high school, he would bike or drive several miles to play golf before school, then practice with the high school golf team after school. He would then go to work at a local restaurant and get up and do it again each day. He was taught only by his father and the game itself, until he met Jerry Ellstrom.
斯科特·哈特出生于美国密歇根州，8岁时父亲把几支旧的钢杆球杆截短，给他当球杆用。从那时起，他就爱上了高尔夫，并把所有空闲时间都用来打球。
高中时期，他每天早上骑自行车或开车几英里去打球，上学前练球，放学后和校队一起训练，之后还要去当地餐厅打工，第二天继续重复这样的生活。那时他只接受父亲和球场本身的“教导”，直到后来遇到杰里·埃尔斯特罗姆（Jerry Ellstrom）。
Hart continued playing golf throughout high school and during his eight years of service in the U.S. Navy as a nuclear engineer, where he captained his team to a base-wide championship. After leaving the Navy, he went into work in the computer field and achieved his bachelor’s degree in computer science. He continued to play golf on many different leagues and courses around the state of Michigan during the six months of the year they have available for golf.
哈特在整个高中阶段持续打球，随后在美国海军服役八年，担任核工程师期间，他带领球队赢得基地锦标赛。退役后，他进入计算机领域工作，并获得了计算机科学学士学位。在密歇根州每年仅有的六个月适合打球的季节里，他坚持在各种联赛和球场参加比赛。
In 2013 he married his wife Bobbie and they both enjoy golfing at every opportunity. In northern Michigan, they would put their golf clubs away every November and not see them again until mid-March or April unless they went on a golf trip someplace warm. His love for golf was too much to only play six months of the year, so he and his wife began searching for other options. In 2018 they researched all available simulator technology and determined that X-Golf met their needs and was a franchised model business. In 2019 Hart and his wife decided to try to change the mentality of weather-dependent golf, found a location and opened the X-Golf Traverse City. This has provided them, as well as local and not-so-local residents, a place to play during the winter months.
2013年，他与妻子鲍比（Bobbie）结婚，两人一有机会就一起打球。在密歇根北部，每年11月他们就要把球杆收起来，直到次年3月中旬或4月才会再拿出来，除非去温暖的地方打球旅行。因为实在无法接受一年只打六个月球，夫妻俩开始寻找其他出路。2018年，他们研究了当时所有可用的模拟器技术，最终认定X-Golf既能满足需求，又是成熟的特许经营模式。2019年，哈特夫妇决定改变“依赖天气打球”的现状，他们找到合适地点，正式开设了 X-Golf Traverse City。这不仅为他们自己，也为当地及周边居民提供了冬季也能打球的场所。
In 2022, after losing their resident golf instructor to an outdoor location, Hart set about his journey to become a golf instructor so that the lesson business they had worked so hard to cultivate at X-Golf Traverse City could continue to be successful. By this time, he achieved his Callaway club fitting certification, but did not feel that he was able to provide proper golf instruction. Hart checked out several golf instruction options and ultimately chose to contact the USGTF, earning his Associate membership.
2022年，球馆的驻场教练离开去了户外球场，哈特决心自己成为高尔夫教练，以延续他们辛苦建立起来的教学业务。当时他虽然已经获得Callaway球杆配制认证，但仍觉得自己无法提供专业的教学指导。在考察了多个高尔夫教学认证机构后，他最终选择了USGTF，并成为Associate会员。
In 2023, almost one year after obtaining his Associate title, and determined to succeed, he attended class in Las Vegas under the mentorship of Master Golf Teaching Professional Bill Rice, a master orator and consummate gentlemen of the game, and passed the playing ability test to become a Certified Golf Teaching Professional.
2023年，在获得Associate头衔近一年后，他带着决心前往拉斯维加斯，师从大师级高尔夫教学职业人士比尔·赖斯（Bill Rice）——一位极具口才、极具绅士风度的球场大师——参加了培训，并顺利通过打球能力测试，成为USGTF Certified Golf Teaching Professional（认证高尔夫教学职业人士）。
Since obtaining his teaching certificate, Hart has been providing lessons on a regular basis, providing club-fitting services and enjoy each of his students and customers and the challenges they each face together. He provides single lessons and group lessons but prefers the one-on-one interaction over the group lessons. He feels each person has their own swing, and group lessons don’t always apply to the individual.
获得教学证书后，哈特开始定期提供课程，同时开展球杆配制服务。他享受与每一位学生和客户的交流，以及共同面对的挑战。他提供一对一和团体课程，但更偏好一对一教学，因为他认为每个人的挥杆都是独一无二的，团体课难以完全适用于个体。
Golf instruction has been challenging as well as rewarding, and Hart has fulfilled his lifelong dream of owning a golf business as well as improving the game for others with his instruction provided by the USGTF. He provides over 250 lessons per year while maintaining his full-time job as a senior systems engineer at the local hospital. When the time is right, he will retire and “just golf” indoors and outdoors.
高尔夫教学既充满挑战，也极具回报。哈特通过USGTF的培训，实现了自己终身拥有高尔夫事业的梦想，同时也在帮助他人提升球技。他在保持当地医院高级系统工程师全职工作的同时，每年仍能提供超过250节课程。等到时机成熟，他计划退休，然后“只打球”——无论室内还是室外。
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT – SUNSHINE ZHANG
学生聚焦 – SUNSHINE ZHANG
Longtime USGTF member Lawrence Sykkmon has a proven track record, and one of his students, Sunshine Burberry Zhang, is making waves. She was kind enough to answer some questions, and here are her answers:
USGTF资深会员劳伦斯·西克蒙（Lawrence Sykkmon）教学成果显著，他的一名学生阳光·伯贝里·张（Sunshine Burberry Zhang）正崭露头角。Sunshine 非常友好地接受了我们的采访，以下是她的回答：
Q. How did you get started in golf, and at what age did you begin playing?
Q. 你是如何接触高尔夫的？从几岁开始打球？
A. I started playing golf when I was about 5 or 6 years old. It began at a nearby driving range, and everything just clicked for me from that point on, even though no one else in my family played golf. My heart and mind felt like it was something I was meant to do.
A. 我大约在5、6岁时开始接触高尔夫。最初是在附近的一个练习场，从第一次接触，我就感觉一切都特别契合。虽然家里没有人打高尔夫，但我的内心和头脑都告诉我，这就是我命中注定要做的事。
Q. What have been some of your biggest struggles in golf, and how have you worked through them?
Q. 到目前为止，你在高尔夫上遇到过的最大困难是什么？你是如何克服的？
A. One of my biggest struggles would be maintaining that confidence after a tough round. Golf can be very mental, and early on, I would get discouraged easily. Over time, I learned how to block out unnecessary distractions, rely on my routines, talk with my personal coach, and accept that it’s okay to make mistakes. Staying consistent, especially in my short game practices, has helped me work through those moments and come back stronger.
A. 最大的困难之一是在打完一场糟糕的比赛后如何保持自信。高尔夫是一项非常讲究心理的运动，早期我很容易感到气馁。随着时间推移，我学会了屏蔽不必要的干扰、坚持自己的赛前 routine、与私人教练沟通，并且接受“犯错是正常的”这个事实。尤其是保持短杆练习的一致性，帮助我度过那些低谷，并以更强的状态回归。
Q. What are some of your biggest accomplishments in golf so far?
Q. 你目前在高尔夫上取得的最大成就是什么？
A. So far, my biggest accomplishment would be competing as a student-athlete at California Baptist University. I’ve also had some personal milestones like shooting my lowest tournament round, placing fourth in a collegiate tournament, and helping my team place well at collegiate events. Besides scores, I am proud of the discipline and consistency I’ve built over the years, balancing academics with competitive golf.
A. 到目前为止，我最大的成就是作为学生运动员代表加州浸会大学（California Baptist University）参加比赛。此外，我还取得了一些个人里程碑，比如打出个人最低比赛轮成绩、在大学赛事中获得第四名，并帮助球队在多项大学赛事中取得好成绩。除了成绩之外，我最骄傲的是多年来培养出的自律和稳定性，在学业与竞技高尔夫之间取得了平衡。
Q. Do you have any goals or aspirations in golf for the future?
Q. 你对未来的高尔夫生涯有什么目标或志向？
A. Yes, I do. My goal is to play on the LPGA Tour and compete at the highest level. I aspire to become one of the top golfers in the world, and what drives me is the love for the game and the discipline it has taught me – pushing me to improve every day, both on and off the course.
A. 有。我的目标是打上LPGA巡回赛，在最高水平的舞台上竞争。我立志成为世界顶尖的高尔夫球手之一。驱动我不断前进的是我对这项运动的热爱，以及它教会我的自律——让我每一天都在球场内外努力变得更好。
Q. Do you have any social media handles you’d like to share with us?
Q. 你有想要和大家分享的社交媒体账号吗？
A. Yes, you can follow me on Instagram: snnny_. I use it to connect with others and share updates from my golf journey.
A. 有！欢迎大家在Instagram上关注我：snnny_。我会在上面分享我的高尔夫旅程和最新动态。

EDITORIAL – EXAMING THE SIX RULES CHANGES ON THE PGA TOUR
社论：PGA巡回赛2026年推出六项本地规则修改
The PGA Tour enacted six Local Rules changes for 2026, with some interesting angles:
PGA巡回赛为2026赛季制定了六项本地规则调整，其中有几点值得注意：
1) When “lift-clean-replace” is in effect, the player may now move the ball only within one scorecard length instead of a club length.当“拾起-擦拭-放回”（lift-clean-replace）规则生效时，球员现在只能在一张记分卡长度范围内移动球，而非原来的一支球杆长度。
2) Players now get free relief in the fringe from any immovable obstruction and not just sprinkler heads.
球员现在可在果岭边缘（fringe）从任何不可移动障碍物处获得免费救球，而不再仅限于喷头。
3) Players may now replace a damaged club with components that are carried in the bag.
球员现在可以用球包中携带的部件更换损坏的球杆。
4) Players may now take free relief if their ball is in any pitch mark in the general area, not just their own.
如果球落在一般区域的任何球痕（pitch mark）中，球员均可获得免费救球，而不只是自己的球痕。
5) If a player accidentally causes their ball to move outside the putting green and is unaware, the penalty upon discovery is now one stroke instead of two.
如果球员无意中导致球在果岭外移动且未察觉，发现后只需罚一杆，而非原来的两杆。
6) In cases of internal out-of-bounds, this will now apply only to shots hit from the teeing ground.
内部界外（internal out-of-bounds）规则现在仅适用于从发球台击出的球。
What’s noteworthy is that the Rules of Golf state, “Rule 1.3c(3) states that the Committee does not have the authority to apply penalties in a different way than stated in the Rules of Golf. Therefore a Committee must not use a Local Rule to waive, modify or apply a penalty.” Rule change #5 clearly violates this principle, and in regard to #6, the Rules of Golf state, “The Rules do not contemplate an area having more than one status during the play of a hole, and so an area must not be marked as out of bounds for certain strokes, or strokes made from certain areas such as the teeing area.” The other Local Rules changes (except for #1) by the PGA Tour also do not adhere to what a committee is permitted to do under the Rules of Golf.
值得注意的是，《高尔夫规则》明确规定：“规则1.3c(3)指出，委员会无权以不同于《高尔夫规则》规定的方式适用罚杆。因此，委员会不得通过本地规则来放弃、修改或变更罚则。”其中第5条修改明显违反了这一原则；第6条也与规则冲突——《高尔夫规则》明确指出：“规则不认可一个区域在打一个洞的过程中具有多种不同状态，因此不得将某一区域标记为仅对某些击球或仅从特定区域（如发球台）为界外。”
PGA巡回赛的其他几项本地规则修改（除第1条外）同样超出了规则允许委员会操作的范围。
What does this mean? Does it mean the PGA Tour is testing the waters to see if it can enact Local Rules outside the purview of what is permitted by the USGA? The most obvious reason they may be doing this concerns the ball rollback to be enacted in 2030. The PGA Tour has made it clear it does not like the rollback, and this may be a precursor of them refusing to go along with it. It will be interesting to see what happens going forward.
这意味着什么？
这是否意味着PGA巡回赛正在试探能否在USGA允许范围之外制定本地规则？最明显的原因可能与2030年即将实施的球 rollback（距离限制）有关。PGA巡回赛已明确表示反对这项改革，此次本地规则调整或许是他们未来拒绝遵守的预兆。未来发展值得持续关注。
