3. Spending time outdoors:

花更多時(shí)間呆在戶外

Walking and being active in the outdoors allows for breathing in fresh air and establishes healthy exercise habits, far beyond indoor video games or television.

在戶外散步和活動(dòng)可以呼吸新鮮空氣，從而養(yǎng)成健康的戶外運(yùn)動(dòng)習(xí)慣。室外活動(dòng)的益處遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出呆在室內(nèi)玩電子游戲或看電視。

4. Business skills:

獲得商業(yè)技能

In addition to etiquette and the ability to play comfortably with new acquaintances, golf teaches self-confidence, improves the ability to work with numbers, and applies problem-solving skills that are critical in business.

除了提高禮儀水平和與新朋友融洽相處的能力以外，高爾夫還能培養(yǎng)自信心，提高處理數(shù)字的能力。在比賽中能夠鍛煉解決問(wèn)題的能力，這在商業(yè)中是至關(guān)重要的技能。

5. Anyone can play:

任何人都可以玩

Men, women, children, people from all over the globe and all walks of life come together on a golf course. The diversity found on a golf course opens young golfers to a broader view of the world and all people.

來(lái)自世界各地不同性別、不同年齡段、各行各業(yè)的人們相聚在同一個(gè)高爾夫球場(chǎng)上。 球手身份的多樣性拓寬了年輕球手看待這個(gè)世界、看待所有人的視野。

6. Self Improvement:

自我提升

Golf challenges the player toward constant self-improvement. Players analyze what they did well and what has to change for them to improve. Players develop habits of self improvement by self-analysis skills, seeking professional instruction, and accepting critique from others.

高爾夫運(yùn)動(dòng)能夠挑戰(zhàn)球員，讓他們不斷地自我提升。球手通過(guò)自我分析技巧、尋求專業(yè)指導(dǎo)和接受他人的批評(píng)來(lái)養(yǎng)成自我提升的習(xí)慣。

7. Etiquette and Values:

禮儀和價(jià)值觀

Golf has a rich tradition of etiquette that lives on today. Playing golf teaches youth how to behave towards self and others, and imparts values such as truthfulness and strength during adversity.

高爾夫有著豐富的禮節(jié)傳統(tǒng)，并延續(xù)至今。 打高爾夫球教會(huì)年輕人如何對(duì)待自己和他人，并培養(yǎng)正確的價(jià)值觀——比如誠(chéng)實(shí)以及如何在逆境中獲得力量。

8. Health:

健康

Golf is an active game and is less injury-prone than contact sports. Conditioning for golf improves strength of core muscles that support the spine, improve flexibility, and allow participants the opportunity to be active and fit.

高爾夫是一項(xiàng)積極的運(yùn)動(dòng)，與接觸性運(yùn)動(dòng)相比，更不容易受傷。 高爾夫訓(xùn)練可以提高支撐脊柱的核心肌肉的力量，提高靈活性，讓參與者有機(jī)會(huì)保持活躍和健康。

9. Controlling Emotions:

控制情緒

In golf as in life, there are achievements and disappointments. Learning from mistakes and overcoming obstacles improves a players game, and teaches them to optimistically carry out the same pattern in day-to-day life.

高爾夫和生活一樣，有成就也有失望。 從錯(cuò)誤中學(xué)吸取教訓(xùn)、克服困難可以提高球手的的競(jìng)技水平，并使他們?cè)谏钪幸酝瑯臃e極的方式面對(duì)各種挑戰(zhàn)。

10. Fun:

樂(lè)趣

Young people grow up too quickly in todays busy, technological world. Gathering with friends to play golf gives young golfers the opportunity to spend enjoyable times in friendly competition or collegial companionship.

在忙碌且技術(shù)日新月異的當(dāng)今世界里，年輕人成長(zhǎng)得飛快。與朋友聚在一起打高爾夫球，讓年輕的球手有機(jī)會(huì)在友好的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)或大學(xué)友誼中度過(guò)愉快的時(shí)光。
