曾雅妮、朴仁妃與克萊茉慷慨解囊贊助裙襬搖搖青少年逐夢基金 (2013年12月3日，台北訊) 深諳「登高必自卑、行遠必自邇」道理的裙襬搖搖球隊，除了主辦世界女子高球名人賽等國際級頂尖職業高球賽，對於栽培新生代球員同樣不遺餘力，包括設立「裙襬搖搖青少年逐夢基金」並固定舉辦月賽，增加青少年選手的寶貴實戰經驗。參加本屆裙襬搖搖2013世界女子高球名人賽的三位球星曾雅妮、朴仁妃與克萊茉，今天記者會現場慷慨解囊，分別捐贈10萬美元、5萬美元與5萬美元給「裙襬搖搖青少年逐夢基金」，期待台灣能培育出更多的高球新星。 曾雅妮表示，培養青少年高球選手、讓台灣高球界生生不息一直是她的長期理想，她也基於此一理念與裙襬搖搖一起合作，12月12日至14日舉辦「曾雅妮裙襬搖搖高球訓練營」。另一方面，持續關注青少年高球發展的朴仁妃與克萊茉雖然是外籍球星，但在獲知全方位推廣高球的裙襬搖搖球隊有如此深具意義的活動後，二話不說馬上決定共襄盛舉。逐夢盃北中南區指導老師黃月珡 (北區) 、翁子璇 (中區)與 鄭美琦（南區）則代表接受球星捐贈。 裙襬搖搖球隊會長王政松表示，他在比較台灣與長期稱霸LPGA的韓國兩國高球環境後，赫然發現台灣不但職業選手的數目與韓國不成比例，青少年選手的數量更是少得可憐，因此體認到台灣高球想要永續發展，一定要從根打好基礎，因此裙襬搖搖球隊於2012年6月在台灣南部及中部，開辦「逐夢盃」比賽。 　 裙襬搖搖逐夢盃每月固定舉辦，剛開始只在中、南部舉行，2013年起觸角也擴大至北台灣，每個月三區都會進行比賽，讓更多青少年選手藉由比賽成長學習，迄今年12月已經持續進行一年半。值得一提的是逐夢盃比賽特殊賽制：一名職業女子高球選手帶領三名青少年選手同組比賽，讓青少年選手在一天的比賽中於潛移默化、教學相長的環境中，深刻學習與體驗職業前輩的經驗與傳承。 為了鼓勵成績優秀的逐夢盃青少年選手，裙襬搖搖球隊不但連續兩年將世界女子高球名人賽的所有門票收入捐給逐夢基金，還擇優選派選手參與集訓，並全程贊助選手機票與食宿，明年六月底將飛往南加州參加曾雅妮與裙襬搖搖球隊共同合辦的AJGA全美女子業餘高球邀請賽。 Yani Tseng, Inbee Park and Paula Creamer chip in to help local junior golf development (December 3, 2013; Taipei) In light of the old Chinese adage “To climb high, one must start from low”, Swinging Skirts Golf Team has been devoted to the development of junior golf, in addition to hosting premier professional golf event such as the World Ladies Masters. Young up-and-coming golfers from across Taiwan gather each month to compete on a regular basis. Yani Tseng, Inbee Park and Paula Creamer were very generous to pledge donations of USD 100,000, USD 50,000 and USD 50,000 respectively at the star player arrival press conference to the “Swinging Skirts Junior Dream-chasing Foundation”, in hopes of fostering more golf stars from Taiwan. According to Yani Tseng, developing junior golfers to sustain Taiwan’s golf growth has been one of her long-term goals. It was based on this ideal that Yani decided to partner with Swinging Skirts to host Yani Tseng Swinging Skirts Golf Camp between December 12th and December 14. On the other hand, Inbee Park and Paula Creamer, who have both been heedful of junior golf development, didn’t think twice about contributing to the meaningful cause. Swinging Skirts Golf Team chairman Johnson Wang revealed that after comparing the overall golf environments between Taiwan and Korea, he was shocked to find that both the numbers of Taiwan’s professional golfers and junior golfers are out of proportion to their Korean counterparts. Swinging Skirts Golf Team, therefore, decided to launch the “Dream-Chasing Cup” Junior Golf Tournament. At the beginning, “Dream-Chasing Cup” was limited to southern and central Taiwan. Since early 2013, it was expanded to cover northern Taiwan as well, as elite junior golfers from around the island gather each month to develop their game via competition. It is worth noting that during the “Dream-Chasing Cup “competition, three junior golfers are paired with a veteran pro, thereby the youngsters are able to learn on the fly. To encourage standout junior players, Swinging Skirts Golf Team has not only donated all the ticket proceeds from the World Ladies Masters to the “Dream-Chasing Cup” for two consecutive years, but also decided to fund their trips to take part in the upcoming Yani Tseng Invitational presented by Swinging Skirts, a female junior golf event on the US AJGA tour next June.
