In a win-at-all-costs world, we have accepted so-called " gamesmanship" (至胜绝招).It is not unusual for players to try their best to win.But when it comes to golf, it is a different story—honesty is a symbol of honor in the game.
It's the reason why Zach Nash, a 14-year-old who won a junior tournament this summer in Wisconsin, US, returned his medal.Nash carried an extra club(球棒)in his golf bag during the competition.It belonged to a friend and Zach forgot it was there as he played.A player noticed something was wrong."Count your golf clubs," he told the teenager.
Fifteen—one more than allowed.Zach's eyes filled with tears.
The error had no effect on Zach's final score—he never used the extra club.But even so, the boy packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail "...this was golf, and rules are rules.I just knew what I had to do," he said.
Golf isn't a game where referees watch closely, unlike football or basketball.In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot.Competitors call penalties (罚球) on themselves.
The tradition can be traced back.Golf became popular as a pastime for the wealthy, who seemed to have strict rules for every occasion."It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning.They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.
So when one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied: "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank."
As for Zach, he competed in another tournament and before teeing off, he counted his Clubs—four times.
