不要放棄你的夢想 Don't give up on your dream !

知名PGA 美巡賽球員Notah Begay III 於日前(10/2-10/5)參加 Turning Stone Resort Championship比賽時，一項由他親自主持的 "揮桿現場示範教學(clinic)" 的活動時(該賽事所附加舉辦的活動) 對著一群孩童說：『不要放棄你的夢想，我以前就夢想著自己能進入PGA巡迴賽，我現在就在這裏 (PGA的比賽)，它已經是夢想成真了Don't give up on your dream , I dreamt of being on the PGA Tour and I' m here and it's been a dream come true.』  

Notah Begay III 與前來觀摩的小球員或小球迷分享他努力追求夢想的心瀝路程，說道：『人家都說他太矮了是無法打進PGA巡迴賽的，也說他的高爾夫揮桿不夠漂亮，並且認為從未有一位美國原住民能成功進入PGA巡迴賽 He was told he was too short to be on the Tour , his golf swing wasn't pretty enough and that a Native American would never make the Tour.』 

他向這些年輕的小球員提醒將來在高球之路上他們會經常遭受到旁人的冷嘲熱諷以及無情批評的事情，也給建議他們如何克服這些批評：『人們總是會告訴你為何無法有所作為的各種理由 People will always give you reasons why you can't do something.』 Notah Begay III 也提出他的忠告『你必須找出為何你可以的各種理由 You have to find reasons why you can.』 

同時Notah Begay III 訴說著自己多年來培養出對高爾夫球的熱愛，以及為了達成目標所付出之艱辛努力：『高爾夫球真的是一種需要乾淨利落熟練靈巧身手的運動；高爾夫球也確實是一項艱難的運動，你需要做的任何事均須去做大量的勤奮練習Golf is a really neat game ; It's also a really hard game.  Anything you do is going to take a lot of hard work.』 

Notah Begay III 在回應有關揮桿要領的問題時，說道 ：『良好的高爾夫揮桿的關鍵是在於你應確定你的整個身體動作是一起搭配運作的 The key to a good golf swing was making sure your whole body is working together.』
