BGGA高爾夫學院學員Thomas Pfoestl在佛州瑪麗湖Timacuan高爾夫俱樂部以67桿的成績成功獲得美國青少年業餘錦標賽參賽資格。

Pfoestl credits his putting for his success at thequalifier.

Pfoestl 將他的成績歸功於自己的推桿。

「I think my putting is saving me a lot, because my ballstrikingis not that great but I still hit 12 greens,」 said Pfoestl. 「Every time I hadan opportunity to make birdie, I made it. I had six birdies and one eagle. Mycoach, David, helped me line up everything and I only had 23 putts.」

「我的推桿救了很多球，因為我的擊球發揮並不是很好但仍然上了12個果嶺」，Pfoestl表示，「每次遇到抓鳥的計劃，我都沒有放過，我一共抓了6隻鳥一隻老鷹，我的教練大衛，幫助我在果嶺上選擇正確的線路，整輪下來我只用了23推。」

Pfoestl』s BGGA coach, David Louys-Moroney, was alongside himevery step today as his caddy and provided some reassurance in his game.

Pfoestl的教練，BGGA學院的DavidLouys-Moroney大衛路易莫洛尼，一直在比賽中作為球童陪伴他，是他的定心丸。「My mental state has been better,」 said Pfoestl. 「David helpedme stay in the present. He walked with me the whole way and we talked the wholetime. I was 4 under after six holes and I made bogey, double so I was a bitangry. David kept me in the present and I kept going.」

「我的心態強了很多，」Pfoestl說道，「大衛教會我留在當下。他跟我走完全程並一直鼓勵我，6個洞後我的成績是-4，之後接連吞下柏忌和雙柏忌，所以我有些焦躁。是大衛一直鼓勵我留在當下，我才有動力接著走下去。」

「Thomas has come a long way,」said Louys-Moroney. 「He』s always had the potential to play good golf, but hetends to self-sabotage too much. He tends to focus too much on the negativewhen he doesn』t hit a perfect shot. Today was about keeping him on track andunderstanding that you don』t need to hit perfect shots to play good golf.」

教練大衛路易莫洛尼說道：「湯瑪斯經歷了很多，他的潛力很大，但有時容易被情緒左右，屬於自我破壞型。當他發揮不佳時容易讓負面情緒主導。今天的比賽讓他明白並不是每一桿都要完美才能打出好成績。」
