Dialog Ⅰ Training a Beginner Golf Tourist游客的高尔夫入门训...
On the golf course,the coach is teaching a tourist the basic skill for p laying golf.
Coach:This is the driving range.
Student:What do we do here?
Coach:Let's startwith how to hold the golf club.
Tourist:Which club?
Coach:Can you find the seven iron?Passme the seven iron.
Tourist:OK.
Coach:Great!Iwill hand you the seven iron and you will grab the grip like you would hold a tennis racket.
Tourist:What do Ido with my other hand?
Coach:Put it on the grip below the other hand so that it can“go along for the ride”.Now we will work on having you stand in a relaxed“athletic position”.
Tourist:OK.
Coach:Now it's time to learn to swing a golf club.
Tourist:OK.Do Iuse this seven iron?
Coach:Yes.It is easier to learn to swing than using awood.Wewill try to use a wood later.
Tourist:I'm nervous and very tense.
Coach:Golf is all about being relaxed.You are outdoors and nature is all around you.Try to feel loose and hold the golf club like you would hold a bird.Tight enough to keep it in place,and loose enough that you will not hurt it.
Tourist:How do Iswing the club like that?
Coach:Imagine you are trying to swing a bucket half full of water without spilling.The swing needs to be a consistent speed and a consistent movement not to spill the water.Use this thought for swinging that seven iron.Now here is a ball.Put it on the tee.Kick off!
Tourist:Imissed the ball!
Coach:No one ever said thiswould be easy.
Tourist:I did everything you asked me to do and the golf ball is still sitting there.Why did Imiss hitting it?
Coach:You did a great job with your first swing.The attemptathitting the ball was perfect.
Tourist:But…the ball is still there.How could my attempt be perfect?
Coach:Let's try another swing.This time concentrate on getting the golf ball in the way of that perfect swing you had last time.
Tourist:Ihit the ball!
Coach:How did that feel?
Tourist:What a great feeling that was!How come the ball only went a little way out there on the grass?
Coach:TigerWoods did not hit the golf ball 300 yards the first time he swung a club.Golf takes patience and commitment.
Coach:OK.Now that you know how it feels to hit a golf ball,let'smove over to the green to try some putting.
Tourist:But…Ihave only hit a few shots;Istill have not hitmy driver.
Coach:Every club in your golf bag is swung exactly the same way as your seven iron.You have learned that to hit the golf ball,the ball needs to get in the way of the swing.
Tourist:So…I just need to practice that swing with allmy golf clubs and Iam ready to play a golf course?
Coach:Exactly.How aboutwe go to the green now and see how you fare with the putter?
