<20091022 教育新聞>「打遠一點！打遠一點！」旅美LPGA名將洪沁慧、龔怡萍，昨天到高雄市七賢國小捐贈軟式高爾夫球具，應邀現場牛刀小試，揮桿擊球，沒想到小朋友個個興奮莫名，一堆人志願當撿球員，還意猶未盡的請求兩位女將把球打遠一點，好讓他們撿起球來比較有成就感。

應邀出席捐贈儀式的高雄市教育局長蔡清華表示，他今天和小朋友一樣是抱著請求高爾夫球明星簽名的心情來的，並對兩位高雄市出身的高球女將的國際級表現大加肯定，也感謝兩人及何國華高爾夫體育基金會董事長何麗純協助高雄市推廣軟式高爾夫(SNAG GOLF)的用心。他強調， 2009年10月9日高球運動經國際奧委會認可，已正式納入2016奧運競賽項目，為了台灣的高球發展，推廣高球教育的運動，刻不容緩。

何國華高爾夫體育基金會董事長何麗純表示，一個選手最重要的養成階段是國小，所有的心智培養期間也是在這個階段；正因為有南部完整的教育培養環境，今日才有旅美LPGA名將洪沁慧、龔怡萍等優秀的高球選手為國爭光。（新聞摘錄自「愛高雄10000個理由」，完整新聞http://www.10000.tw/?p=2824）

<October 22, 2009> - LPGA players, Candie Kung and Amy Hung, returned to their old elementary schools in Kaohsiung, Taiwan and gave away soft golf kits as presents in the hopes that local students will be able to know more about the sport. Teachers and students were all very excited to witness the professional players' live demonstration of the sport.

Kung and Hung graduated from Kaohsiung Municipal Cisian Elementary School and Si-wei Elementary School respectively. Both gave their old schools a set of golf clubs as presents and demonstrated how to use it in person. The professional demonstration immediately won the admiration from the students and everyone took turn to try playing the sport.

Hung said that she started learning golf at the age of seven, which was when she entered the elementary school. She pointed out the obstacle golf education faced was the lack of close cooperation between the government and educational institutions. In the US, there were golf teams in middle and high schools while they were few in Taiwan.

Hung hoped that by giving the gift, people's the interest for the sport would grow in the elementary school stage and that children could have the opportunity to learn playing golf.

Kung, who started playing golf at the age of 13, also stated her reason to promote golf was that there were not enough professional golf players from Taiwan a good professional golf player was one in a million and since that golf has become an Olympic sport, the more devoted people there are in the sport, the better chance Taiwan will have to stand on the international stage.

Kung moved to the States with her family when she was a middle school student. Her teacher, Chen Jing-hua, retired, remembered Kung gifted in many ways, such as instruments and sports and was proud that Cisian Elementary school has such an outstanding alumnus.
