Now you need Today’s Mission.
Let’s go see Eddy.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi.
Ah, the game of golf.
What a great sport it is!
Hmm. It... it really is.
Eddy, do you play golf?
No. No. I don’t play. Uh, do you play, Billy?
I try to. I’m not very... I’m not very good, but I... I like it.
Now wait a minute.
You’re in this episode.
I know.
Well, we’re all trying to learn, OK?
(Background Noise).
All right, all right, guys.
Eddy, why don’t you give us the mission?
Ah, OK.
Today’s Mission.
What does the word ”golf” mean in the Scottish language?
What does the word ”golf” mean in the Scottish language?
We’ll find out.
Now let’s go play golf.
(Music).
(Background Noise).
OK.
Oh. Hi, everyone.
Today I’m going to try out the game of golf.
Now it looks easy, but let’s find out.
Let’s go On the Go.
Golf is a pretty old sport.
Some say golf started in China.
But tradition says it began in Scotland.
The word ”golf” means ”hit” in the Scottish language.
Golf is becoming more and more popular around the world.
Golf is not a fast sport.
It takes a lot of patience and skill to be a good golfer.
Where is my golf ball?
It landed here somewhere.
Hey, Daniel.
Did you lose your ball?
I did.
Did you see it?
Your ball hit me.
I’m sorry.
Are you golfing for the first time?
Yes.
This is my first time playing golf.
Well, maybe I can help you.
(Music).
Where are your clubs?
Clubs?
I only have this one.
You only have one?
Come on.
Let’s go get you some proper golf equipment.
Come on.
(Music).
I’ll... I’ll teach you later.
I’ll teach you later.
Well Billy, it was great to see you in this On the Go.
You really know a lot about golf.
Well, I don’t know that much.
I’m not that good, but I do enjoy the game, and that’s what’s most important
about golf.
Well, we hope that you enjoy learning this key word.
It is the sport:
golf.
golf.
Now golf is a sport.
Golf is famous all around the world.
Many people like to play it.
Many people like to play golf, but it is expensive to play.
Now it costs a lot to pay for the clubs.
And then you have to go and pay for the course fee.
That’s how much you have to pay to go play the game.
And if you want to play golf, you need equipment.
Billy, you mentioned something.
What was it?
I mentioned clubs, is that right?
That’s right.
We’ve got a club right here.
You do.
And club is a key word.
Let’s learn it.
club.
club.
A club is a piece of equipment that you need to play golf.
You use a golf club to hit the ball.
There are different kinds of clubs.
This is an ”a iron”.
This is a special kind of club that you use to hit the golf ball a shorter
distance.
All right.
We also found the answer to Today’s Mission.
The question is:
What does the word ”golf” mean in the Scottish language?
What does the word ”golf” mean in the Scottish language?
It means ”hit”.
And you want to hit the ball in golf.
Let’s learn more from Thomas.
(Background Noise).
(Chinese).
There are over 33,000 golf courses around the world.
Half of them are in the United States.
The Danshuei Golf Club is one of the oldest golf courses in Taiwan.
The golf course was started by some Japanese in 1919.
During World War II, the golf course was heavily damaged.
Years later, after a lot of money and care, it opened to the Taiwanese public.
Wow.
Golfers can get all the equipment they need such as golf clubs, golf balls and
golf bags in this store.
So why are there so many different types of golf clubs?
Each club is used for a different shot and distance.
One type of club is the wood.
It’s used for the longer shot.
All right.
Then I will need to find some golf clubs.
Hmm. Oh. This will do.
My goodness.
This golf bag is heavy.
Yep.
Do I really need all these golf clubs?
You do. And you need golf balls.
Here are six in case you lose one.
(Music).
Well, today Daniel and I are at a course in Danshuei.
It looks like a great golf course.
And hey, that’s our key word.
It sure is.
Let’s learn it.
course.
course.
Now a golf course is where you play golf.
A golf course usually has 18 holes.
Golf courses are usually green.
The grass on golf courses looks very nice.
You walk around the golf course to play golf.
Of course, a golf course also has some challenging parts to it.
It has sand traps and water and trees.
Wow. Sounds exciting.
It’s also a place where you have to carry your golf bag all around, right?
That’s right.
And we’d better learn that key word.
golf bag.
golf bag.
Now golf bag is just a special bag that you put your golf clubs in.
What else do you put in your golf bag?
Is there anything else besides your golf clubs?
Sure. You might put your golf balls and your golf glove.
Now let’s look at our last key word.
It is...
shot.
shot.
When you hit a golf ball with your golf club, that is a shot.
When you’re playing golf, you want the fewest amount of shots.
And if someone hits the ball very well, you can say, ”Hey! Nice shot!”.
Right. You can say, ”Good shot!”.
And right now let’s go learn some more from Thomas.
(Background Noise).
(Chinese).
The idea of golf is easy.
A player must hit a little white ball into each hole on the course.
The player who uses the least amount of strokes wins the game.
Nice.
Now Billy, what is a stroke?
A stroke is when you swing and hit the ball.
So each time you hit ball, that’s a stroke.
The first stroke is called a driving shot.
The player tries to hit the ball and get it close to the hole.
Oh.
Nice shot, Billy.
The ball almost went into the hole.
All right.
Now it’s your turn.
Here’s a ball.
Tee it up and hit away.
Golf courses can be different sizes.
Smaller golf courses have nine holes.
Bigger ones have eighteen.
Each course has different obstacles.
That makes the game more interesting.
Trees, high grass, lakes or sand can all be obstacles on a golf course.
Oh, no.
My ball landed in the sand.
When the player’s ball is near the hole, he needs to hit the ball softly to get
it in.
This is called putting.
If the player hits the ball too hard, it will not go into the hole.
OK.
I’ll hit it softly.
Not bad for your first time.
Now you just need to keep practicing.
Thanks, Billy.
Golf isn’t as easy as it looks.
You can do it.
Well, I’d better keep practicing.
This is really hard sport.
See you next time On the Go.
Go in!
Yes!
Yes!
(Music).
Well, Daniel is going to keep practicing golf and I’m sure that he will get
better.
Of course he’ll get better.
Just like anything, practice makes perfect.
And in golf, of course, you want to hit the ball in the hole.
Let’s learn our key word.
hole.
hole.
Now on the ground a hole is a place where suddenly the ground dips a little bit.
If a golf ball goes along the ground and into the hole, that means it drops
down.
Right. So you want to get the golf ball into the hole.
It’s very small, though.
And the course and the golf holes are very big,
so you have to hit the golf ball far with your golf club.
Now Billy, how many holes are on a golf course?
Usually eighteen.
Or there can also be nine holes, right?
Well, only on golf courses that are half the size of a regular golf course.
I see.
Well, we’re learning more about golf.
Our last key word is...
stroke.
stroke.
In golf, a stroke is the time when you use your golf club to hit the ball.
You want the least amount of strokes.
The person that has the least amount will win.
All right.
Well, we want you to learn more.
Let’s go see Thomas.
(Chinese) On theGo.
