The Beauty of Golf
Modern golf is an ancient Chinese called "whack-ball" game, the Silk Road spread to the West, and in Scotland to develop and perfect set of sports, entertainment and leisure in one of the sport. I did not expect a few hundred years later, when it again from the West return to the embrace of the motherland, the welcome and it is also subject to fierce resistance. We hope that our research will enable more people to understand and accept golf, experience the beauty of golf, and for our golf course construction and management of useful aesthetic, in order to upgrade the quality. Golf beauty expressed in natural beauty, beauty and spirit of the United States and three skill areas.
A Natural Beauty
Natural beauty is the beauty of natural objects in real life, "so the beauty of nature and development is ultimately a product of human social practice, is a natural person of the results, the relationship between man and nature is the product of" [1]. Because in practice, understand and master the objective laws of nature, and use the laws of nature for their own development services, in order to achieve the domination of man to nature, transformation, and mark the traces of human, social or the natural person of , so that only the aesthetic properties of nature and value. Golf's natural beauty, mainly reflected in the design and construction of the stadium. "Golf course construction and design is not just a technology, but also an art," "a lot of fuss on the golf course architect, unconventional" [2], making the golf course, from macro to micro, everywhere including aesthetic value. It consists primarily of course the spectacular beauty, looks, landscape beauty and style in four aspects.
(A) of the spectacular beauty
Spectacular beauty of modern aesthetics is an important aesthetic category. It is based on a macro scene through visual intuition of things resulting from a psychological experience, to give people a bold, rugged beauty of feelings. The spectacular golf course the U.S. is a huge area and its particular topography of the composition of a rugged, grand style. A standard golf course fairway length of 5900 to 6400 meters, the width of the Open, an 18-hole golf course covers an area of 60 to 80 hectares (900 ~ 1200 acres), a 36-hole golf course at least 130 hectares. For each hole, the man hole in the 471 yards long or more, the hole is between 251 ~ 470 yards, 200 yards short hole also. Stadium view from the terrain, some built in the mountains, such as Hunan bamboo Lake Golf Course, and some built in the valley, but are also some construction on the island. According to the various courses are built, have shown a different momentum. Here, a section of long fairways and green lawns that can make you feel the breath of the prairie, one from nature's spectacular beauty.
(B) the shape of the United States
US-style golf course is the terrain, lakes, sand, trees, flowers and the size, composition of lines and color can be a static sense, a certain meaning, and gives a sense of beauty to enjoy three-dimensional picture. Golf course is based on the topography and the design and construction, coupled with the different designers have different ideas, so different golf courses have different art form, even from a designer is no exception. For example: Spring City paste River Golf Course, located in the charming Yangzonghai clear lake, narrow fairways winding down along the mountain, the lake extends to the silver flashing in the distance seems to give the dragon into the sea in mood; Shantou Bay golf course, driving range from the fairway to the direction, prospects are open green grass ups and downs, medium shot is a patchwork of trees and shade of the trees in the club, vision and background of verdant trees and blue sky, forming a a structured, beautiful composition. A section Changchangduanduan, round, square, wide width narrow, winding, up and down the fairways will be portrayed as a beautiful golf course picture; course most of the shape of the bunkers have some artistic meaning, such as bottom type, nematodes and liberal, etc.; been carefully crafted greens, and green belts around the sharp contrast, will set off from the shape of the green, showing such as islands, forts, terraces, armchair, stamps, and different forms . On the golf course, from all parts to the whole concept of art includes the designer, to give people infinite aesthetic pleasure.
(C) Greening U.S.
Greening the United States refers to the golf course trees, flowers and other kind of size, color and reasonable arrangement and the show with a beauty. It is a basic condition for the existence Stadium. The green beauty lies in the following aspects: First, from tee to green and the green grass makes you feel good, especially just off the fairways are cut out of a road show of light and dark color of the grass is not made by the United States , white or brown sand in the sand and grass around the contrast, making the background more beautiful. And water obstacles (rivers, streams, artificial lakes) increase the flow of a sense of pitch, green water and green grass golf course tends to be more integration of the natural beauty. Second, in the fairway and the fairway is often planted between the large number of trees, they formed a very reasonable with a beautiful landscape. These trees not only form an independent view point of their own, also divided into a landscape scene of course, relatively independent of the landscape area, which are relatively independent of the landscape area and connected by a reasonable arrangement of the natural one, forming a natural flow of the overall landscape of golf course . Shantou Bay golf course as a form of selection is better, thick leaves, tree species, such as camphor, big-leaved fig, Bauhinia, kapok, yellow locust, coral, etc., the natural contours of these tree-rich, patchwork, with before and after flowering, and the large area planted with shrubs, flowering red, yellow, forming large blocks of color, set off in the green grass in the starkly. In addition, many courses also increased the cultural landscape and local green features. In order to meet compatriots, Catholicism, Christianity, such as different cultural needs, Shantou Bay golf course, in a different fairway layout of a different cultural landscape, such as in the fairway between the layout of a large number of Cypress, with planting yellow locust, red mulberry, such a configuration , it looks neat rows of pine and cypress Nanyang, red mulberry and locust yellow backdrop of green grass as the mountains and plains of wild flowers, both look very beautiful, but also exotic. (D) of the U.S. style
Style problem is no doubt art is bound to encounter a core issue. Work of art anywhere in the world have sought to develop a style to show the artist's unique style, and become life-long fight for each artist and the pursuit of artistic ideals. Golf course construction process is not only a technical process or a more important process of artistic creation. Therefore, the court style, will settle down with the designer's design. Although each have their own characteristics of course, but in general there are two basic styles: the environment-and interesting type. Environment-based strategic course that is, the difficulty of such a small stadium, but pay attention to strategy, which rely mainly on optimization of the environment to absorb the movement, such as Hunan, Grand Lake Golf Club, located in Azusa Mountain Lake, the terrain is flat, wide fairways, beautiful scenery, is a typical type of golf course environment. The Director in order to create a better natural environment, the court placed a lot of bird food, so even in the winter stadium thousands of birds in this habitat, greatly increased the stadium's natural resistance. Interesting type that is punitive, adventure course, golf course more difficult, has great challenges, such as Hunan bamboo Lake Golf Course is a fun golf course, especially in the first nine holes, among them 5 hole tee shot 200 yards to cross the valley or water barriers and undulating fairways. Different styles of each stadium, showing the designer's idea of the different artistic creation.
Second, the U.S. tips
In aesthetics, the "skills" is the essence of the performance of the important areas of the United States. It consists of three elements: first is the inexorable law of human creativity on the objective to master and use; the second refers to the free play of necessity, that is when the "technology" when in a highly skilled up in the "Road"? D? D that is conveyed into the art of image creation and not affect the process of free, full of life the highest level; the third refers to the skills and techniques in skilled performance in the personality and style, content and form is shown in close unity of the overall quality of characteristics. Golf is a practical activity, inseparable from the specific skills and techniques. Golf players continue to hone skills in the United States is the action in the formation of the United States, strain the United States, the United States and the far quasi-tactical U.S..
(A) of the action the United States
Action sports athletes in the United States refers to the human body through the process of point, line, surface and strength changes and combinations, and rhythm combine to form a piece of the performance of the United States pleasure to give people a dynamic or static screen. It shows up in poise, coordination of body movement, rhythm action, action, balance and perfect shape and so on. Some people think that golf movements are simple to learn, is not the case, golf action is simple, but very delicate, very difficult to achieve the perfect swing, as the fifth British Open champion Teter Thomson statement: "In a lifetime of error learning, I concluded that the swing of personal and unique to human faces as the general "[3]. This means that, in the swing of learning technology, the improvement of this error, you may be new mistakes. The perfect swing is the error in the implementation of continuous improvement, and to undergo 10 years or longer to complete. We see the Tiger? Woods showed that poise, good rhythm, a high degree of balance, "the classic action of aesthetics, elegance and strength of common outcomes" [4]. Experience or the audience it is a kind of beauty to enjoy.
(B) strain U.S.
Another manifestation of golf skills in the United States is the athlete's performance capabilities of a high degree of flexibility. Exactly the same all over the world do not have a golf course, even the same course, the daily environmental conditions (temperature, wind direction, etc.) and course conditions (grass length, color, etc.) are different Moreover, the hole locations on the day of green a change, let alone hit the ball itself has a certain probability of? D? D ball could fall into the rough, bunkers in the woods or more of the upper slopes. It requires that athletes can be very flexible and accurate use their skills to hit the ball, the ball fell to the desired position. This is undoubtedly a skill free, skilled use of an expression of beauty, to give people the United States pleasure.
(C) of the tactics the United States
Tactics is a special form of technology. In golf, the ball channel length, width, shape, slope, composition and other differences, so athletes in every hole has a different tactical strategies, such as kick-off what used rods, ball position most conducive to what The second shot, the second shot what kind of technology used to accurately stop the ball or hit the greens to score hole and so on. Golf's strategy and tactics in a process of the formation of long-term practice, he is a rational use of technology, is a form of skill, no doubt is a kind of beauty.
(D) away prospective U.S.
In the game of golf in the "far" and "quasi" is a contradiction. The accuracy of the ball fly farther the worse, so "far" and "accurate" as the highest pursuit of golf swing techniques. When both players hit the ball too far and on time, people can not help but say "strike." Players also experience the beauty of being happy at the moment. "Far" and "quasi" is the technical and tactical skill on the basis of production, is a skill the highest in the external appearance is no doubt also a beautiful performance.
Third, the spirit of the United States
The spirit of golf to show the United States is the movement of civilization, love, self-discipline, law, faith, and good quality. It is important aesthetic category. As Rodin said: "We are in the human body is not the model enshrines the form of beautiful appearance, but it seems to make the body transparent inner light shine." (Rodin, "Art Theory"). Golf is a highly disciplined campaign, which seeks the "detached in the game of golf outside of culture and civilization, is a noble, honest, and the spirit of golf for the benefit of others." As Cui Zhiqiang, secretary general of the China Golf said: "More people are more concerned about their own game, in fact, only know how to rule on the pitch, the real people who comprehend the spirit of golf, it is more to be respected" [5]. Golf beauty of the spirit manifested in the following aspects.
(A) Courtesy U.S.
Golf is a "Courtesy, salute," the movement. "Rules of Golf," the first chapter states: "No matter how intense combat, all athletes should consciously abide by the rules regulate his conduct, at all times show humility and good manners of the sport." Embodied in: the clothing They believe that "irregular wear indecent clothing and attitude into the clubhouse, the club and the individual is an insult." Clothing made of the provisions of sportsmen and women, such as the gay movement to prevent sweating when uncivilized dress, must wear lead the T-shirt; the kick-off, the former first open a hole to show good results and respect, so play speed a fast first; in the fairway, not smoking a cigarette walk the course, others can not speak and move around while playing, and turn off the phone, affecting the others are playing to the apology made to forgive each other; on the green, can not step on the putt line or the reflection of his body according to the above the line of putt and so on. In short, where "Man" above all else, "If you hold this (rude) attitude, it is easy to lose respect for you," so, here embodied and experienced by a pack of sight of civilization.
(B) self-United States
Golf is different from other sports One of the important features is its high degree of self-discipline. Most golf played without referees supervision, by the athletes consciously regulate his conduct. Here: 1) showed a good Zunzhangshouji environment, because in this deliberate violation will be subject to ridicule. 2) the performance of the noble Cautiousness quality. It encourages players to be left alone, others can not see, when you hear their words and deeds, but also a violation of special rules to prevent their own thoughts and behavior. Such as the famous Montgomery golf professional athletes in a game, even though no one saw him playing a bunker shot on the ball met the head during the sand, he immediately announced that the foul hands, since the penalty shot, a high U.S. Biography forum. 3) the quality of the performance of the noble self-reflection. Because there is no referee, players only on their own to reflect on their behavior is reasonable. 4) showed good g has been quality. For some self-interest is often foul, and golf players everywhere are asking for the sake of others. It is in this golf participants in the self-discipline, self-experience with this most noble sentiments, but also to the audience in an infinite respect.
(C) integrity of the United States
Honesty is a real extension, therefore the city, true to its word character. City letter-quality training difficult to exclude the concept of self-interest factors and the impact of quick success, as self-serving thinking is the result in fraud, bad faith roots. To the exclusion of critical thinking and self-interest is "self", because even to know first, "one for all", only "one, one," the truth, but also requires a high degree of self-regulation to restrain their self-serving behavior. Golf is a highly self-discipline sport. In golf, there is no referee, but there are many, and not selfish by others perceived opportunities (if you can move the ball a little play in the better position), the athlete is to a high degree of self-discipline on their own to overcome their own self-serving behavior, the beauty of Montgomery pass is a good example. Athletes not only demonstrated that superior technology, and more importantly, they respected the integrity of others that is of excellent quality.
(D) United States Friendly
"The so-called friendly, is friendly and kind. Refers to the attitude of friendly and gentle close. Kind of a person's thoughts for others, for the sake of society; behavior beneficial to others, is conducive to society." [6] golf, "the most important principle at any time on the court the benefit of others. " If other people playing, do not talk and walk; "in the hole area, please be careful not standing on the other players line of putt, and do not cross standing on the other is reading (looking) in front of the players line of putt"; kick ball Grilled flat lawn or to repair the bunker to avoid the follow-up players hit the ball into the play you track, trace or footprint of the ball into the bad play; "before the stroke or swing, first determine the near or far no one standing No one could hit the ball at the stand to place "; the same group of players watching the placement of each other, shared caddy club when the athletes to prepare themselves to avoid repeatedly running caddies, all of which reflect the athletes and athletes, athletes and a mutual love between the caddy, always considerate of others in the spirit.
"Beauty is the essential power of object-oriented." The beauty of golf with the human nature will continue to strengthen and continue to enrich their content. Therefore, we golf in the development process, we should continue to find beauty and experience the United States and, more importantly, also create the United States, the use of its aesthetic function, to better serve the community and serve the humanity.
