潘政琮CHENG-TSUNG PAN
高球天生好手Born to Golf
就跟老虎伍茲一樣，潘政琮可以說是拿著高爾夫球桿出生的。
他是家裡六個小孩中最小的，從小在苗栗長大。
潘政琮的父母都在當地一個高爾夫球場工作；母親是那裡的桿娣。
潘政琮五歲的時候，父母便帶他認識了他們倆都熱愛的運動。
潘政琮從母親那裡學到高爾夫球的基本原理；從父親那裡，則是習得在比賽中獲得成功所必需的紀律。
潘政琮的父親會讓他和哥哥跑三公里到球場；然後才能開始練習。
雖然潘政琮當時可能很討厭那種強度的訓練，但他表示，就是那些訓練打造了自己的職涯基礎。
到了十一歲時，潘政琮已經在國際高爾夫球巡迴賽事中征戰了。
十五歲時，潘政琮以C. T. Pan的名字代表臺灣在二○○六年的卡達杜哈亞運中出賽。
杜哈亞運中，他在不同項目賽事中分別拿下銀牌和銅牌。
比賽參加得愈多，潘政琮就變得愈有自信；他下定決心有朝一日一定要成為職業高爾夫選手。
Cheng-Tsung Pan (X), like Tiger Woods, was practically born with a golf club in his hands. The youngest of six children, he grew up in Miaoli County. Pan's parents both worked at a local golf course where his mother was a caddie. When he turned 5, Pan's mother and father acquainted him with the game they both loved.
From his mother, Pan learned the fundamentals of golf. From his father, he learned the kind of discipline that is required to be successful at the game.
Pan's father would have the boy and his brother run three kilometers to the golf course. Then they could begin practice. Though Pan might have disliked the intense training, he says that it became the foundation for his career.
By the age of 11, Pan was already competing in international golf tournaments. At 15, Pan, called C.T. Pan, played for Taiwan at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar. There he won both the silver and bronze medals in separate events. The more he played, the more confident he became, and he determined to one day become a
professional golfer.
