One example of that effort, highlighted in a report by the state-run Xinhua news agency earlier this month, is a school in southern China's Zhuahi city in Guangdong province that offers free golf training to kindergartners. Letting "children get in touch with golf is a good trial," Liu Tie, head of the Industry Planning and Development Department of the Zhuhai Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, told Xinhua.

国有媒体新华社(Xinhua News Agency)本月早些时候的一篇报道为这一动向提供了佐证。报道说，中国广东省珠海市的一家幼儿园为学龄前儿童提供免费的高尔夫球培训。珠海市文体旅游局文化产业规划与发展科科长刘铁对新华社说，让儿童接触高尔夫球是个很好的尝试。

Helping to fuel the interest is the growing number--and increasing outlandishness - of golf courses in the country like the world's largest Mission Hills golf club on southern Hainan Island, which continue to be built despite a nationwide moratorium on new courses.

助长人们对高尔夫球兴趣的还有中国数量越来越多、同时越来越具洋气的高尔夫球场，比如位于中国海南省的世界最大高尔夫球场──观澜湖高尔夫球会(Mission Hills Golf Club)球场，尽管中国已在全国范围内暂停建造新的高尔夫球场，仍然有不少高尔夫球场正在兴建当中。

Most recent available statistics suggest China has around 500 18-hole courses, compared with more than 15,000 in theU.S.
