CGTF CUP A ROUSING SUCCESS
CGTF杯成功圆满的举办

By Marc Ray, CGTF President 文/CGTF主席马克·雷

It has been almost 20 years since British Columbia hosted the CGTF Cup, making this year’s tournament at Green Tee Country Club in Langley on May 14 a special and historic occasion. Most of the participants played a fun practice round, adding to the excitement and camaraderie. The general consensus was everyone had a great time and cannot wait for the tournament to return in Western Canada.
距不列颠哥伦比亚省上次举办CGTF杯已将近20年，使得今年5月14日在兰利的Green Tee乡村俱乐部举行的比赛成为了一个特别而具有历史意义的时刻。大多数参赛者进行了有趣的练习轮，增添了比赛的趣味性和团队精神。有普遍共识是，所有人都度过了愉快的时光，迫不及待地期待这项赛事再次回归西加拿大。

We extend our warmest regards to everyone who traveled from near and far to participate. Your presence and enthusiasm made this event truly memorable. The camaraderie and sportsmanship displayed as you cheered each other on exemplify the spirit of golf and community. A special congratulations to Bobby Flouris, who triumphed with an impressive one-under-par score of 71, mastering the challenging Green Tee course and winning the Bob Bryant Trophy. The course played like summer conditions — fast and firm but fair — making it a fun and enjoyable venue for all. Bobby’s performance was nothing short of spectacular on the well-conditioned track. He was able to run away with the win as a first-time participant.
我们向所有从四面八方赶来参赛的人表示最诚挚的问候。你们的参与和热情让这次比赛真正难忘。大家在比赛中为彼此加油的友情和体育精神完美展现了高尔夫的精神和社区的团结。特别祝贺鲍比·弗劳里斯，他以令人印象深刻的71杆成绩（低于标准杆1杆）夺冠，赢得了Bob Bryant奖杯。他首次参赛就征服了富有挑战性的Green Tee球场。

We also commend Michael Fraser for his remarkable second-place finish, along with Ken Beaumont and Jesung Woo, who tied for third place. Tim Crough and Gilles LeBlanc secured a tie for fifth. Our 2023 champion, yours truly, finished in sixth place this year. Daryn Kreppi’s journey from Windsor, Ontario, proved to be well worth while as he ground out a solid round to earn a passing score for his playing ability test requirements and attained his full certification.
我们还要表扬迈克尔·弗雷泽（Michael Fraser）出色地获得了第二名，肯·博蒙特（Ken Beaumont）和禹载成（Jesung Woo）并列第三。蒂姆·克劳夫（Tim Crough）和吉勒·勒布朗（Gilles LeBlanc）并列第五名。2023年的冠军，也就是我本人，今年获得了第六名。达林·克雷皮（Daryn Kreppi）从安大略省温莎出发的旅程非常值得，他打出了一轮稳固的成绩，顺利通过了他的比赛能力测试要求，并获得了全额认证。

A special thank you also goes out to Master Golf Teaching Professional Curtis Nelson of Drive Golf Academy for hosting the pre-tournament golf social for the CGTF members. This event allowed participants to warm up their swings and meet each other in person. The CGTF utilizes Zoom for many continuing education sessions, which have built strong connections and friendships, making it fantastic to meet in person for the first time. The golf swing discussions were so much fun.
特别感谢Drive Golf Academy的高尔夫教学大师Curtis Nelson，他为CGTF成员举办了赛前高尔夫社交活动。此次活动让参赛者有机会热身并面对面交流。CGTF通常通过Zoom进行许多继续教育课程，这些课程建立了强大的联系和友谊，因此第一次线下面对面的交流非常棒。讨论高尔夫挥杆的过程也充满乐趣。

Thank you once again to all the participants, and a special shoutout to Valerie Beebe and Nitro Rite, who contributed to the success of this tournament, capturing photos of each of the parings. We look forward to seeing you all next year for another exciting edition of the CGTF Cup back in Ontario. Bobby has committed to come out and try to defend his title in 2025.
再次感谢所有参赛者，特别鸣谢Valerie Beebe和Nitro Rite，他们为这次比赛的成功做出了贡献，拍摄了每组参赛者的照片。我们期待明年在安大略省举行的CGTF杯再次见到你们。鲍比已经承诺2025年将再次参赛，捍卫他的冠军头衔。

“PRO” FILE – OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER AND LYDIA KO
“职业”档案 – 奥运冠军斯科蒂·舍弗勒和高宝璟

 
Is there anything Scottie Scheffler can’t do when it comes to golf? The man who is playing Tiger-esque golf in 2024 achieved something that Woods will likely never do in winning a gold medal at this year’s Olympic Games event, firing a 62 to overcome a faltering Jon Rahm and claim the top spot on the podium.
斯科蒂·舍弗勒在高尔夫球领域的表现几乎无所不能。这位在2024年打出老虎伍兹般成绩的球手，做到了伍兹可能永远无法做到的事情——在今年的奥运会上赢得了一枚金牌，他以62杆的成绩战胜状态不稳的琼·拉姆，站上了最高领奖台。

It is no stretch to say Scheffler is matching, and in some ways surpassing, what Woods did at the peak of his career. The difference, of course, is that Woods did it over a period of many years while Scheffler is just finding his stride. Time will tell if he can keep up his blazing pace.
可以毫不夸张地说，舍弗勒正在追赶甚至在某些方面超越伍兹巅峰时期的表现。当然，区别在于伍兹的成就历时多年，而舍弗勒才刚刚找到自己的节奏。时间会证明他能否保持这样的迅猛势头。

For Lydia Ko, her Olympic gold medal also meant qualification into the LPGA Hall of Fame, perhaps sports’ most difficult hall of fame to qualify for. After an impressive start to her career, winning twice on the LPGA Tour as an amateur — the first time as the youngest player ever — she also became the youngest to win a major championship and to ascend to No. 1 in the world. However, after 14 victories in four years, she began a series of equipment, caddie and coaching changes that left her adrift for a number of years. Fortunately, she found her way to the top of the game again starting in 2021 and has since won five more times in addition to her Olympic victory.
对高宝璟来说，她的奥运金牌也为她获得LPGA名人堂的资格铺平了道路，这是体育界最难获得的荣誉之一。在她职业生涯初期的辉煌表现中，她曾以业余身份两次赢得LPGA巡回赛——第一次成为最年轻的冠军，并成为最年轻的大满贯赛冠军和世界排名第一。然而，在连续四年取得14场胜利后，她开始频繁更换球具、球童和教练，这使她陷入了低谷。但幸运的是，从2021年开始，她重回巅峰，并在奥运会胜利之外，再次赢得了五次巡回赛冠军。

Ko has the distinction of being the only player, male or female, to hold a gold, silver and bronze medal in Olympic golf. One would be foolish to bet against her attaining another in 2028 at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
高宝璟拥有高尔夫史上无论是男子还是女子唯一的奥运金、银、铜三枚奖牌。2028年洛杉矶奥运会，她极有可能再度登顶，继续书写辉煌。

“职业”档案 – USGTF会员肖恩·摩尔

文/肖恩·摩尔By Sean Moore

Sean Moore has been a teaching professional in the Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia area for the past five years. After nearly 15 years as an athletic director in the private-school world, he decided to change career paths to be able to spend more time with his family while continuing his joy of working with people through sport.
肖恩·摩尔过去五年一直是华盛顿特区及北弗吉尼亚地区的高尔夫教练。在私立学校担任了近15年体育主任后，他决定改变职业方向，以便能有更多时间陪伴家人，同时继续享受通过体育与人们互动的乐趣。

Moore played basketball in college, and following a career-ending injury, he decided to continue through graduate school to earn a Masters in Education. After a successful career in athletics, including Athletic Director of the Year and the State Award of Merit, he wanted to return to the game of golf, which he loved as a kid. He was given an opportunity to begin his golf instruction career with a mentor at East Potomac Golf Links in Washington. After building a strong group of clients, he was then asked to join Rudy’s Golf and Sports Bar as the director of golf instruction in Alexandria, Virginia.
摩尔大学时期是一名篮球运动员，然而一场职业生涯终结的伤病让他转而攻读教育硕士学位。体育事业上的成功经历，包括获得年度最佳体育主任和州级荣誉奖之后，他渴望回归儿时热爱的高尔夫运动。他得到了一位导师的机会，在华盛顿的East Potomac高尔夫球场开始了他的高尔夫教学生涯。在积累了一批忠实客户后，他被邀请加入弗吉尼亚亚历山大的Rudy’s Golf and Sports Bar，担任高尔夫教学主管。

He loves working with students who are new to the game and individuals who want to learn the sport in a relaxed environment with a less-technical format. He greatly focuses on core fundamentals that will allow students to enjoy their time on the course with family and friends, building lifelong memories. He believes that golf can be such a tool in life in that regard and that it is the one place you can learn a tremendous amount about yourself, conduct a meeting, witness constant, natural beauty and share time with partners, colleagues and friends alike.
他喜欢与初学者一起工作，帮助那些希望在轻松环境下学习高尔夫的人。他专注于核心基础，使学生能在球场上与家人和朋友度过愉快时光，建立终生的美好回忆。他相信，高尔夫不仅是一项运动，也是一个让人深入了解自我、开会、欣赏大自然美景并与伙伴、同事和朋友分享美好时光的独特工具。

Moore cherishes seeing the growth of his students and when they call or text about a gorgeous course, a personal best score or a skill to work on in their next lesson together. He loves spending time with his wife and son, and truly embraces the moments he has shared on a golf course with everyone, including his boss, mentors, students and his dad.
摩尔非常珍惜看到学生们的成长，尤其是当他们打电话或发短信告诉他自己打出个人最好成绩，或者想在下次课程中改进某项技巧时，他感到特别满足。他也喜欢与妻子和儿子共度时光，并珍惜自己在高尔夫球场上与所有人，包括上司、导师、学生和父亲一起度过的每一刻。

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT – MO LAUBSCH
学生聚焦 – 莫·劳布施
By Keith Turchan 文/凯斯·特尔尚

My name is Keith Turchan, Assistant Golf Professional at the Preserve at Verdae in Greenville, SC. For my student spotlight, I’d like to introduce you to Mo Laubsch. Mo is a big fan of Scottie Scheffler, minus the footwork. He is an 8th grade student at Presbyterian Academy and has only been playing golf for a little over 3 years. Even though he is fairly new to golf, he has made his HS varsity golf team and has been competing in SCJGA golf tournaments for the last 2 years. Here is what Mo has to say:
我是凯斯·特尔尚，南卡罗来纳州格林维尔Verdae自然保护区高尔夫球场的助理高尔夫专业人士。在此次学生聚焦中，我想向大家介绍莫·劳布施。莫是斯科蒂·舍弗勒的忠实粉丝，但不喜欢他的脚步动作。他是长老会学院的八年级学生，接触高尔夫还不到三年。尽管他对高尔夫的经验还不算丰富，但他已经进入了高中校队，并参加了过去两年的南卡罗来纳州青少年高尔夫协会（SCJGA）比赛。以下是莫的感想：

“I love playing golf because it’s one of the only sports where you don’t have to rely on anybody else; it is you against the course. It’s also really technical where a lot of things can go wrong, so that’s why I try to practice every single day. Coach Keith teaches me at the Preserve at Verdae in Greenville, SC where I am a member. His instructions help me to be calmer on the course and develop my own swing without rushing through each shot. Training with him has made my fundamentals a lot better. And he is always there on those frustrating days for a quick tip as well, for which I am very thankful. So far my best round was an 80 from the white tees (the men’s tees) at the Preserve at Verdae. I want to continue playing golf in high school and then play golf at a Division 1 college. My dream is, of course, to become a golf professional on the PGA Tour.”
“我喜欢高尔夫，因为这是少数几项你不需要依赖他人的运动之一；你对抗的只是球场。这项运动也非常技术性，很容易出错，这也是为什么我每天都在练习。凯斯教练在Verdae高尔夫球场教我，在那里我是会员。他的指导让我在球场上更加冷静，帮助我建立自己的挥杆动作，而不是匆忙完成每一击。与他一起训练使我的基础大大改善了。而且在那些令人沮丧的日子里，他总会给我一些及时的建议，我对此非常感激。到目前为止，我的最好成绩是打出了80杆，从白色发球台（男子发球台）出发。我希望能继续在高中打高尔夫，然后进入一级大学的高尔夫队。当然，我的梦想是成为PGA巡回赛的职业高尔夫选手。”

Some of the things that Mo and I work on are feel moves. When a golfer hits a golf ball at speed, it is really hard to tell what is going on. You can have an idea based on direction of the shot, trajectory, curve, thin or fat; but what did it feel like? What caused the good or bad shot to happen and how do we fix it?
我们工作中的重点之一是感觉动作。当球手以高速击球时，很难知道发生了什么。你可以根据击球方向、轨迹、弧线、厚薄判断一些情况，但关键是感觉——是什么造成了好的或坏的击球，又该如何改进？

To address this, we use a few drills to address his stability and a drill to prevent him from becoming stuck in transition. These feel drills or feel moves help him overcome less than perfect golf shots and bounce back on the golf course.
为此，我们设计了几项练习，帮助他提高稳定性，并防止他在过渡阶段卡住。这些感觉练习有助于他克服不完美的击球，并在球场上迅速恢复状态。

You would never know that Mo is a beginner — his knowledge of all things golf related is truly remarkable and he is not afraid to ask a question. His attention to the details of his golf swing and the ability to feel and make adjustments when needed combined with a positive attitude is why I believe he deserves this student spotlight.
你绝不会看出莫还是个初学者——他对高尔夫知识的掌握令人惊叹，他从不害怕提问。他对自己挥杆动作的细节的关注以及在必要时进行调整的能力，结合他的积极态度，是我认为他值得被聚焦的原因。

EDITORIAL – AN INTRODUCTION TO OLYMPIC GOLF: HISTORY, DIVISIONS, PLAYING STYLES, AND MORE!
社论 – 奥运高尔夫简介：历史、组别、比赛风格等

Only golf geeks and Olympic aficionados might know that, contrary to popular belief, the first Olympic golf competition did not take place in 2016 but in 1900 in Paris. Charles Sands emerged victorious over the one-day, 36-hole competition and Margaret Abbott captured the 9-hole ladies’ gold medal. In 1904, at the Games in St. Louis, Missouri, only men competed. A team competition was contested followed by five grueling days of 36-hole matches among the 32 who survived — you guessed it — a 36-hole qualifier!
只有真正的高尔夫迷和奥运爱好者才知道，尽管大家普遍认为奥运高尔夫比赛始于2016年，但实际上第一次高尔夫比赛是在1900年巴黎奥运会上举行的。查尔斯·桑兹在那场一天36洞的比赛中胜出，而玛格丽特·阿博特赢得了女子9洞比赛的金牌。1904年，在圣路易斯的奥运会上，只有男子参加了比赛，首先进行的是团队赛，随后32名幸存者进行了为期五天、36洞的比赛——是的，没错，他们通过了36洞资格赛！

Fortunately, when golf returned in 2016, sanity prevailed and the standard 72-hole tournament format was used. Sixty golfers qualified for both the men’s and women’s competition, with a maximum of two golfers per country (four if they were all ranked in the top 15 in the world). Justin Rose won the gold medal in a tight race over Henrik Stenson, with bronze medalist Matt Kuchar saying he was never so happy to finish third in his entire life. Inbee Park of Korea took home the women’s gold.
幸运的是，当高尔夫在2016年重返奥运时，标准的72洞比赛格式被采用。男子和女子比赛各有60名参赛选手，最多每个国家可有两名选手参赛（如果排名世界前15名，则最多可有四名选手）。贾斯汀·罗斯在与亨里克·斯滕森的激烈竞争中夺得金牌，季军马特·库查尔说，他从未如此高兴能拿到第三名。韩国的朴仁妃摘得女子金牌。

There was lukewarm interest in the 2016 golf competition among some of the world’s best, with many opting not to play, and the 2021 competition was marred by COVID-19. However, the 2024 edition proved to be extremely popular among both fans and players. Rory McIlroy noted that the two purest forms of golf they play — the Olympics and the Ryder Cup — do not offer any prize money directly. It goes to show that among even the world’s best players, all of whom are millionaires many times over, the thrill of victory and representing one’s country are still worth pursuing on their own merits.
2024年奥运会的高尔夫比赛在球迷和选手中非常受欢迎。罗里·麦克罗伊指出，他们参加的两项最纯粹的高尔夫赛事——奥运会和莱德杯——都没有直接提供奖金，这表明即使是世界上最顶尖的球员，金钱之外的荣誉和代表国家参赛的机会依然充满吸引力。
