LUXOR IS THE PLACE TO STAY FOR THE U.S. CUP
拉克索是美国杯的住宿之选
Opened in 1993, the Luxor in Las Vegas continues to be a favorite draw for visitors to the “Sin City.” With its distinctive pyramid building and vertical laser light visible for up to 275 miles, the Luxor has been a spectacular staple of the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip for three decades. This year, it will once again serve as the recommended host hotel for the United States Golf Teachers Cup.
拉斯维加斯的拉克索酒店自1993年开业以来，一直是游客们的热门之选。其独特的金字塔建筑和可见达275英里的垂直激光灯，使其成为拉斯维加斯南端的标志性景点已有三十年。今年，它将再次作为美国高尔夫教师杯的推荐住宿酒店。
The Luxor is within a 25-minute drive from Painted Desert Golf Course, and traffic rarely creates delays. Special rates for U.S. Cup participants have been arranged and can be found at https://book.passkey.com/event/50719407/owner/4939/home.
拉克索酒店距离彩绘沙漠高尔夫球场仅25分钟车程，交通通常不会造成延误。为美国杯参赛者安排了特价房，详情请访问：https://book.passkey.com/event/50719407/owner/4939/home。
NEWS FROM GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND
英国和爱尔兰的消息
By Peter Hudson 作者：彼得·哈德森
It has been a very wet winter and spring in the U.K. and Ireland, with many courses and driving ranges closed for days and weeks at a time. This, however, has led to greater demand for those of our members who have indoor golf schools and studios. This market segment is a real opportunity for the independent golf coach, especially with more and more game improvement being conducted online.
英国和爱尔兰经历了一个非常潮湿的冬季和春季，许多球场和练习场关闭了数天甚至数周。这导致了我们那些拥有室内高尔夫的学校和工作室的会员需求量大增。这一市场领域对独立高尔夫教练来说是一个真正的机会，尤其是越来越多的娱乐改为在线进行。
There are very few differences in the skills required to be a successful golf teacher/coach in these environments. True, there may be a need for a higher level of technical equipment and knowledge, but clients still learn best instinctively and intrinsically. If you have not read The Inner Game of Golf or Fred Shoemaker’s Extraordinary Golf, they are a great starting point for this genre. Interestingly, Homer Kelly, who is an expert in engineering, geometry and science, only learnt from feel in a blacked-out room!
在这些环境中，成为成功的高尔夫教师/教练所需的技能几乎没有差别。的确，可能需要更高水平的技术设备和知识，但客户仍然最好通过直觉和本能学习。如果您还没有读过《高尔夫的内在游戏》或弗雷德·舒梅克的《非凡高尔夫》，它们是这一流派的好的起点。有趣的是，工程、几何和科学专家荷马·凯利仅在一个漆黑的房间里通过感觉来学习！
Newswise, we conducted a training course with seven golfers in April, and the next is planned for Oxford in August. Those attending and planning to attend are many and varied in their previous work endeavours. Sports coaches, business coaches, accountants, I.T. experts, business managers and taxi driver are just some of their backgrounds.
新闻方面，我们在四月举办了一个有七名高尔夫球手参加的培训课程，下一个计划在八月于牛津举行。参加和计划参加的人在他们之前的工作经历中多种多样。会员中有体育教练、商务教练、会计师、IT专家、商业经理和出租车司机等，这只是他们中的一部分。
We were invited by WGTF Netherlands to take a team of six players for a small European competition, organized by WGTF Netherlands, over two days in June. It is a wonderful opportunity to share ideas and grow the WGTF family values. We will also continue to work closely with V1 Technologies, and they help us offer superior customer service, learning and communication.
我们应荷兰WGTF的邀请，在六月带领六名球员参加了一个为期两天的小型欧洲比赛。这是一个分享想法并推广WGTF组织价值观的绝佳机会。我们还将继续与V1 Technologies紧密合作，他们帮助我们提供优质的客户服务、学习和交流。
We also work with Fore-business in the U.K. and Ireland, and now have at least six coaches who have enjoyed business from this outlet. The are currently growing in the USA and other parts of the world, and if you are a qualified coach, I highly recommend you contact their agents and arrange to join, or you may also contact me at info@wgtf.org.uk and I will arrange for them to call you.
我们还与英国和爱尔兰的Fore-business合作，目前至少有六名教练从这个渠道获得了业务。他们目前正在美国和世界其他地方发展，如果您是合格的教练，我强烈建议您联系他们的代理人并安排加入，或者您也可以联系我info@wgtf.org.uk，我会安排他们给您打电话。
I will be attending the PGA marketing exhibition in Orlando 2025. If anyone would like to meet, share ideas and maybe have a round of golf, let me know. Meanwhile, play well, teach well!
我将参加2025年在奥兰多举行的PGA营销展览会。如果有人想见面、分享想法或打几轮高尔夫，请告诉我。同时，打得好，教得好！

“PRO” FILE – U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONS BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU AND YUKA SASO
“职业”档案 – 美国公开赛冠军布赖森·德尚博和笹生优花
Since he first came onto the professional scene in 2016, Bryson DeChambeau has always marched to his own drummer. With a swing built on the single-plane concepts of Moe Norman and using single-length irons, DeChambeau hasn’t always been well understood by the golfing public or pundits. A quest for greater distance in 2020 further heightened the curiosity factor as he built his body to be like a football lineman.
自2016年首次进入职业赛场以来，布赖森·德尚博一直走自己的路。他的挥杆基于莫·诺曼的单平面概念，并使用同样长度的铁杆，德尚博并不总是被高尔夫公众或评论员所理解。2020年，他追求更远的距离的过程，进一步引起了大家的好奇，因为他将身体锻炼得像足球前锋一样。
But a funny thing happened along the way. Thanks to his YouTube channel, DeChambeau has amassed an extremely loyal following, and during his win at the recent U.S. Open, his infectious personality won over even the most stubborn detractor. Currently a member of the LIV Golf Tour, DeChambeau has cemented himself as one of the game’s must-see performers.
但在此过程中发生了一件有趣的事。由于他的YouTube频道，德尚博积累了大量忠实粉丝，在最近的美国公开赛胜利中，他富有感染力的个性甚至赢得了最顽固的批评者。目前，德尚博是LIV高尔夫巡回赛的一员，他已巩固了自己作为必看球员的地位。
The same can be said of current U.S. Women’s Open champion Yuka Saso. She has only two victories at the highest level of women’s golf, and both are U.S. Opens. She also won the title in 2021. While she hasn’t won any other tournaments on the LPGA Tour, she has been a steady performer, sprinkling in 18 top-10 finishes in 67 starts. Another golfer who comes to mind who won two U.S. Opens but not much else — only one other victory — is Andy North on the men’s side. With Saso’s record of consistency, it would seem only a matter of time before she starts winning more often.
同样的话也可以用在现任美国女子公开赛冠军笹生优花身上。她在女子高尔夫最高水平的比赛中只有两次胜利，两次都是美国公开赛冠军。她还在2021年赢得了该头衔。虽然她在LPGA巡回赛上没有赢得其他比赛，但她一直是非常稳定的球员，在67场比赛中取得了18次前十名的成绩。另一位在男子方面有两次美国公开赛冠军但其他胜利不多的选手是安迪·诺斯。考虑到笹生的稳定表现，她开始赢得更多比赛只是时间问题。
“PRO” FILE – USGTF MEMBER J.T. SMART
“职业”档案 – USGTF会员J.T.史玛特
By J.T. Smart作者：J.T.史玛特
My story begins as a brain tumor survivor at the age of 18 months old. The main side effect of removing the tumor was loss of the fine motor skills to my right side. In other words, my right side is as strong as most 10-year-olds’ at best, and I am missing a lot of dexterity most people would take for granted. It also affected my memory in regard to long-term and retention.
我的故事始于我18个月大时作为脑肿瘤幸存者。摘除肿瘤的主要副作用是右侧精细运动技能的丧失。换句话说，我的右侧力量最多相当于大多数10岁儿童，并且我缺乏许多人理所当然的灵巧度。它还影响了我的长期记忆和记忆保留。
With all that being said, these disabilities brought me to golf at the age of 12, and golf was a sport that made me feel like everyone else. I competed at the varsity high school level as a freshman, winning a valley championship and dozens of tournaments on various junior tours. I also volunteered at several junior clinics throughout those years year. My golf journey continued in college and mini-tour events, and I even got to caddy for my great friend in his early start on the PGA Tour.
尽管如此，这些残疾让我在12岁时接触到了高尔夫，这是一项让我感觉像其他人一样的运动。作为新生，我在高中校队竞争，赢得了一个山谷锦标赛和多个青少年巡回赛的比赛。我还在这些年里自愿参加了几个青少年短期班。我的高尔夫旅程继续在大学和迷你巡回赛中，并且我甚至有机会为我的好朋友在PGA巡回赛的早期阶段做球童。
These stepping-stones lead me to a career in golf instruction. The notches in my belt I acquired throughout my years of competitive golf, combined with my unique perspective on how to swing the club, has shaped the teaching philosophy I have today. I gained my USGTF Certified Golf Teaching Professional status in 2014 under the mentorship of Master USGTF instructor Jim Perez, a man I admire not only for golf instruction, but for his ability to communicate to his clients. I also acquired a TPI Golf certification; an International Golf Psychology Association certification through the USGTF; a U.S. Kids Golf certification and Vector Green Reading certification, thanks to Hector Avila, who’s also a USGTF instructor.
这些基石引导我走上了高尔夫教学的职业生涯。我在多年的高尔夫竞技中积累的经验，再加上我对挥杆的独特视角，塑造了我今天的教学理念。在大师级USGTF教练吉姆·佩雷斯的指导下，我于2014年获得了USGTF认证高尔夫教学专业人员的资格，我钦佩他不仅是高尔夫教学的能力，还有他与客户沟通的能力。我还获得了TPI高尔夫认证；通过USGTF的国际高尔夫心理学协会认证；美国儿童高尔夫认证和Vector Green Reading认证，这要归功于同样是USGTF教练的赫克托·阿维拉。
As of today, I am married to a wonderful girl named Kelsey and we have bonded over playing the game of golf together. We love playing new courses with each other, and of course, we both love the competition of couples’ events. I have an indoor teaching facility where I give more than 1,000 lessons a year. I coach for the Fresno City College golf team, and I have built a golf program with a team of club fitters, personal trainers and instruction, all in the aim to help reach my clients’ maximum potential.
到目前为止，我与一位名叫凯尔西的奇妙女孩结婚，我们通过一起打高尔夫建立了联系。我们喜欢一起打新球场，当然，我们都喜欢情侣比赛的比赛。我有一个室内教学设施，每年教授超过1,000节课。我为弗雷斯诺市学院高尔夫队担任教练，并建立了一个高尔夫项目，拥有一支球杆工坊师、私人教练和教练团队，所有这些都旨在帮助我的客户实现最大潜力。
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT – CLAIRE YOUNG
学生聚焦 – 克莱尔·杨
Claire Young from Los Angeles started playing golf at the age of 7, and only two years later the competitive bug bit. She started playing in U.S. Kids Golf tournaments on a regular basis. She picks up the story:
克莱尔·杨来自洛杉矶，从7岁开始打高尔夫，仅两年后就对比赛产生了兴趣。她开始定期参加美国儿童高尔夫比赛。她继续讲述她的故事：
“My dad would drive me all over California for the tournaments. When I turned 12, I played in my first AJGA tournament. I joined a country club near the school, where I practiced most of the time after school. Later, I was accepted into Harvard-Westlake School and became the number two player on the team. Golf has given me the opportunity to learn about discipline, patience and hard work.”
“我爸爸会开车带我去加州各地参加比赛。当我12岁时，我参加了我的第一次AJGA比赛。我加入了学校附近的乡村俱乐部，大部分时间在放学后练习。后来，我被哈佛-韦斯特莱克学校录取，成为球队的二号选手。高尔夫让我有机会学习纪律、耐心和努力工作。”
The Harvard-Westlake girls golf team won the Mission League championship in 2021 and 2022, with Claire earning All-League honors. She had an 18-hole best of 71 in 2023 at the CIFSS Ford Girls Golf Individual, and regularly shoots in the 70s. She was voted Stanford Player/Camper of the Week in 2022 by members of the Stanford women’s golf team and their coach, quite an honor considering she was one of 125 campers.
哈佛-韦斯特莱克女子高尔夫球队在2021年和2022年赢得了使命联盟冠军，克莱尔获得了全联盟荣誉。她在2023年的CIFSS福特女子高尔夫个人赛中打出了71杆的18洞最佳成绩，并经常打出70多杆。2022年，她被斯坦福女子高尔夫球队及其教练评为斯坦福夏令营周最佳球员，这是一个很高的荣誉，因为这个营有125名球员。
USGTF member Astrid Hussenjian is her former coach but keeps in regular contact with Claire. Hussenjian said, “I coached her and her sister for many years, but now they have other coaches, which is pretty normal in golf. We are still friends and I follow their journey, and once in a while I get asked to watch their swings, give them advice and play on the course with them.”
USGTF会员阿斯特丽德·胡森吉安曾是她的教练，但仍与克莱尔保持定期联系。胡森吉安说：“我教了她和她的妹妹很多年，但现在她们有了其他教练，这在高尔夫中是很正常的。我们仍然是朋友，我关注她们的成长，偶尔也会被要求观看她们的挥杆，给她们建议并与她们一起打球。”

EDITORIAL – WGTF TOP 50: AWARD AND VALUE
社论 – WGTF前50名：奖励和价值
In any field of endeavor, there are those who separate themselves from the rest. The WGTF Top 50 was inaugurated years ago to recognize those who have achieved and maintained a standard that is among the highest in the golf teaching industry. Those who are on the list can truly be proud of this accomplishment.
在任何领域，总有一些人能脱颖而出。WGTF前50排名已经设立多年，是为了表彰那些在高尔夫教学行业中达到并保持最高标准的人。上榜者因为拥有这一成就而感到自豪。
There might be a misconception that those who did not make the list are not as “good” at teaching as those on the list. This is certainly far from the case. In selecting the overall Top 50, other factors are taken into consideration, such as years of service to the golf industry, published items, peer recognition and growing the game initiatives, for example. In other words, those who are on the list are there because they possess a list of attributes that goes far beyond just teaching ability alone.
可能存在一种误解，认为没有上榜的人在教学上不如榜单上的人。这绝对不是这样。在选择前50名时，还考虑了其他因素，例如在高尔夫行业的服务年限、发表的项目、同行认可和推动游戏发展的举措等。换句话说，上榜者不仅仅是教学能力优秀，他们还具备其他优点。
The list also recognizes the global structure of the golf teaching industry, as there are fine teachers and coaches in all corners of the Earth. There are a variety of teaching styles represented — which is important — as no one teaching style fits all students.
该名单还认可了高尔夫教学行业的全球结构，因为在世界各个角落都有优秀的教师和教练。代表了多种教学风格——这很重要——因为没有一种教学风格适合所有学生。
The list is updated every two years, and look for the 2024-25 list to be featured soon.
该名单每两年更新一次，请期待2024-25年的名单即将公布。
