Abstract:

Golf course managers need to manage their facilities efficiently for both economic and qualitative reasons. Golf greens are the most significant area on the golf course for play, intensity of maintenance practice, and player judgement of quality. The gap in knowledge lies between measurement of golf green performance and operations efficiency. Performance measurement is the process of controlling management operations to achieve optimum resource input efficacy but in considering existing performance management systems it was found that none provided a definitive tool that could be used to monitor operations for golf green management. This research aims to determine whether a performance management system can be developed for golf green management. Four golf courses were selected to collect management data for operations practices and qualitative tests of golf green performance. Interviews provided operations data for the core practices, identified from literature, including material inputs. The comparison of maintenance inputs and their costs against playing quality allow objective comparison and determination of management efficacy. A survey of golf course managers and review of industry operations practice also informed the key parameters in the development of a performance management framework. Research data for maintenance intensity, cost, and quality have been plotted onto analysis framework graphs which indicate the quality golf course managers are achieving within golf green culture with known levels of resource input. This research proposes a performance management framework for golf course managers to enable them to better manage their golf greens. The adopted research methodology and methods have produced a performance based management framework for golf green management. Mapping key parameters of quality, costs, and inputs in a benchmarking radar chart reflects the efficacy of golf green management in a way that allows stakeholders to identify and adjust operation variables. In a survey of Golf Course Managers in the UK, 73% of respondents stated that they would find a performance management framework beneficial for their work.

Abstract:

Syfte och frågeställningar

Syftet var att undersöka om golf är en fysisk aktivitet som kan bidra till bättre hälsa hos äldre och kunna ordineras av läkare som fysisk aktivitet på recept vid åldersrelaterade välfärdssjukdomar. De frågeställningar som besvarades var om det förelåg någon skillnad i upplevd hälsa, levnadsvanor och faktisk hälsa mellan äldre kvinnor som spelar golf och äldre icke golfande kvinnor.

Metod

I studien deltog 36 kvinnliga golfare och 17 icke golfande kvinnor som var 65 år och äldre.

Golfarna togs fram genom slumpmässigt urval bland medlemmar i golfklubbar i Stockholms län. Försökspersonerna rekryterade en anhörig vilken ingick i en kontrollgrupp. Ett frågeformulär med frågor om subjektiv hälsa och levnadsvanor besvarades av deltagarna. Därefter genomfördes ett styrketest, blodtrycksmätning, registrering av vikt och längd på undersökningsdeltagarna.

Resultat

Det framkom ingen skillnad mellan de båda grupperna i deras upplevda totala hälsa. Vid undersök-ning av specifika fysiska kapaciteter och mentala förmågor upplevde golfarna sig starkare i fysiska kapaciteter som ben- och arnstyrka samt kondition. De upplevde också oftare hopp/optimism och känsla av kontroll. Golfarna åt grönsaker, frukt och bär oftare än icke golfare och ägnade sig oftare åt fysisk aktivitet på låg intensitet. Genomsnittliga BMI-värdet var lika för båda grupperna och mätning av blodtryck och handstyrka visade inte heller på någon skillnad.

Slutsats

Det går inte med denna studie påvisa att golf leder till bättre hälsa hos äldre även om vissa paramet-rar antyder detta. Lågintensiv träning, intag av frukt, bär och grönsaker är bra för att förebygga och behandla välfärdssjukdomar. Dessa parametrar var signifikant vanligare bland golfare och därför förefaller det som om golf är en aktivitet som leder till bättre hälsa. För att fastställa att det var just golfen som gjorde att golfarna ägnade sig mer åt lågintensiv träning och åt mer frukt, bär och grön-saker krävs dock noggrannare forskning inom området.

Abstract:

In the 80s and 90s in America, residential developers believed that the best way to make money was to build a golf course community. Premiums of homes on golf courses ranged from 30% to 100% more than the price of a similar home not adjacent to a course. Today, the bottom has fallen out of the golf market leaving over 2,400 courses closed in America. Residential homes bordering a closed golf course experience an 11.7% loss of value. Many owners and potential developers want these large parcels of land to be up-zoned so they can build higher density residential and make a profit. Neighbors do not want to lose their greenspace and public officials do not want to be seen as harming single-family residential. This thesis argues that to retrofit a closed golf course, developers, community members and other stakeholders must first understand the morphological and environmental implications of the different types of golf courses, the context surrounding closed courses and the location of these courses in a greater regional area. By understanding closed golf courses in this way, a framework can be established that results from negotiation among golf course residents, neighbors, developers and public officials.

Abstract:

In the Swedish society, sport is seen as a natural integration arena where ethnic minorities integrate intothe new society without losing their identity. The diversity varies greatly among the different sports, golfis one of the sports where diversity is almost totally absent. This study aims to examine how projects atvarious Swedish golf clubs promote the integration of youth immigrants through the sport. The first stepof the study consisted of surveys that formed the base of the study. In the second step, interviews cratedknowledge about golf clubs various work to promote integration in society. The results show that almostevery fourth golf club in Sweden was implementing or planning an integration project of some kind.Trough the study, it becomes clear that the barriers that must be torn down to make golf a naturalintegration arena, as sports in general, are numerous.

Abstract:

Robots are widely used as substitutes for humans in situations involving repetitive tasks where a precise and repeatable motion is required. Sports technology is an area which has seen an increase in the implementation of robots which simulate specific human motions required for a sport. One purpose is to test sports equipment, where the requirement is for a motion to be performed with consistent variables. One issue which has arisen frequently in the robot simulation of humans is the inherent presence of vibration excited in a flexible object being manipulated by a robot, and this issue is not unfounded in the situation presented in this research, of a golf robot manipulating a flexible golf club during the simulation of a golf swing. It had been found that during robotic simulations of golf swings performed with the Miyamae Robo V at the Sports Technology Institute at Loughborough University, swing variables such as shaft deformation and clubhead orientation were dissimilar to those measured for human golf swings. Vibrations present in the golf club were identified as the key cause of the disparity between human and robot swing variables. This research sought to address this issue and find a method which could be applied to reduce clubhead vibrations present in robot simulations of a golf swing to improve their similarity to human swings. This would facilitate the use of the golf robot for equipment testing and club fitting. Golf swing variables were studied and measured for 14 human subjects with the aim being to understand the motion that the robot is required to simulate. A vibration damping gripper was then fitted to the robot to test the effect that changing the interface between the robot-excited vibrations and the club would have, this was achieved with a selection of silicone sleeves with differing material properties which could be attached to the club. Preliminary results showed a noticeable reduction in clubhead vibrations and this solution was investigated further. Mathematically modelling the robot was seen as the most suitable method for this as it meant the robot remained functional and allowed a number of solutions to be tested. Several iterations of a mathematical model were developed with the final model being structurally similar to the robot with the addition of a compliant grip and wrist. The method by which the robot is driven was also recognised as having a large effect on the level of vibration excited in the clubhead and the methodology behind generating smooth robot swing profiles is presented. The mathematical model was used to perform 6 swings and the resulting shaft deformation and clubhead vibration were compared with data from human swings. It was found that the model was capable of producing swing variables comparable to human swings, however in the downswing portion of the swing the magnitude of these variables were larger for the simulations. Simulations were made which sought to demonstrate the difference between the model replicating the rigid robot and a compliant system. Reductions in vibration were achieved in all swings, including those driven with robot feedback data which contains oscillations excited by the method with which the robot is driven.

Abstract:

Studiens syfte var att beskriva hur ett positivt motivationsklimat kan utvecklas i en golfförening baserat på medlemmarnas uppfattning av existerande förening. Femton stycken golfare (9 manliga och 6 kvinnliga) i åldrarna 15-76 år från tre olika klubbar i Sverige deltog i studien. I studien användes ett kvalitativt angreppssätt och en egen komponerad intervjuguide utformades utifrån bl.a. Vazou, Ntoumanis och Duda (2005) forskning kring motivationsklimat. För att analysera rådata användes metoden kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att de relationer, som framkommit genom tidigare forskning, mellan motivationsklimat och de tre stora områdena; tränare, föräldrar och kamrater också fanns inom golfidrotten. Det som framkom och var nytt i denna studie var att det fanns en annan viktig faktor som påverkade motivationsklimatet inom golf, nämligen anläggningens kvalité.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the primary motives of golf volunteers at the Professional Golf Association (PGA) Championship and Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Solheim Cup event. The current study consisted of eight hundred and seventy seven participants (N=877) which included 470 volunteers from the PGA Championship and 407 volunteers from the Solheim Cup. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire and the Sport Volunteer Motivation Scale prior to serving as a volunteer for the respective golf event. Descriptive statistics revealed purposive motives was the most highly endorsed motive for PGA Championship and Solheim Cup volunteers. External motives proved to be endorsed the least among the participants. The demographic makeup of the volunteer population consisted of 56.3% males and 43.7% females. Respondents ages ranged from 18 to 84 years old, with a mean age of 55.5 years old. In regards to ethnicity, the volunteers were predominantly Caucasian (96.2%) and the majority (75.1%) reported a household income over $75,000. A series of 2 X 2 MANOVA's revealed significant differences by gender, women scored significantly higher than men on purposive, egoistic, external, and leisure motives. Significant differences were found for household income as those with an income of less than $75,000 had higher motives for material, external, leisure, and egoistic factors. Significant differences were also found for age as those younger than 56 years old had higher motives for material, leisure, and egoistic factors. A 2 X 5 MANOVA revealed a significant effect for highest degree earned, for the egoistic motive, volunteers who received a Bachelor's, Associate's, or High School/GED degrees were significantly greater than those volunteers who received a Doctoral degree. Solheim Cup volunteers had significantly higher motives than PGA Championship volunteers for all five factors. The results of the present study indicated the demographic makeup of the volunteer population needs to be examined in relationship to volunteer motivation as volunteers have different motives which must be considered for giving their time, effort, and energy to a respective sport event. Recommendations for future research examining sport event volunteer motives are also discussed.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the development of women's golf and patterns of participation in Scotland from the middle of the 19th to the end of the 20th century. While sport has recently become a more widely researched topic than previously, little work has been directed towards its investigation in relation to women in Scotland. To date, histories of golf in particular have tended to focus on the male experience and the traditional concept of male dominance in golf. Taking into account relevant contemporary sport history research, this thesis addresses the question of how the participation of women in golf at all levels can contribute to a better understanding of an aspect of women's lives in the Scottish context. The ethnological approach, crucial to this thesis, calls for the collection and analysis of oral, documentary and visual sources, with the purpose of highlighting the experience of individuals through time. Importantly, the use of oral sources hitherto little exploited as a central part of that evidence, provides a vital form of evidence from the 1930s to the 1990s. The individual experience throws light on questions regarding the accessibility to the game in terms of class, gender and age from its organisational base to the enclave of the golf club. With reference to the late 19th and early 20th century, the early development of women's involvement in sport is briefly outlined in order to establish motives for participation. In a sport which women can play for much of their lives, the introduction to golf is examined in different social networks: in the family, the educational system and in the golf clubs. The motivation of leadership in women's golf is also analysed as is the structure of organisation and development within the governing bodies of women's golf. The thesis also examines issues and attitudes surrounding the relationship of amateurs to professional players in golf. How women golfers are perceived and how they present themselves in terms of their gender is explored through clothing and playing styles. The significance of opportunities to pursue golf through coaching schemes and scholarships is explored. This examination of women's participation in the east of Scotland through oral testimony, gives an insight into the competitive nature of the individual alongside those who pursue the game purely for pleasure.

Thesis, Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH, Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap, 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:gih:diva-3428.

Abstract:

Aim The aim of the study was to examine the wrist angles at impact when striking from two surfaces common in golf. The research question was: is there a difference in ulnar/radial deviation or flexion/extension at the wrists when striking from a mat placed on a steel platform compared to striking from grass. Method Six male elite golf players (Handicap: +0.6±2.2) were recruited for the study. An optoelectronic system containing 12 infrared cameras captured reflective markers placed on the participants and on a golf club when they performed three shots from a mat and three shots from grass. The markers were identified in the Qualisys Track Manager software and the marker trajectories were imported into Visual 3D. Reflective markers were placed bilaterally on the medial and lateral epicondyle of the humerus, the radial and ulnar styloid processes, and the 2nd and 5th metacarpophalangeal joint. In addition, an elbow joint marker was calculated as the midpoint of the two elbow markers. The local frames were defined from these markers giving the proximal and distal ends of segments and the frontal plane.The wrist angles were defined as the orientation of the local frame of the hand segment relative to the orientation of the local frame of the forearm segment. Flexion/extension and ulnar/radial deviation of the wrists were calculated at impact. Results There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in ulnar deviation or flexion/extension at impact for either wrist between the two conditions. Conclusion No significant differences in the wrist angles at impact between the two conditions indicate that the wrist position did not change significantly between the two conditions. This may be positive from a learning perspective since the technique does not change irrespective of the condition. Furthermore since there was no significant difference in ulnar deviation at impact between the two conditions, the ulnar deviation at impact is presumably not a reason for why players and researchers suggest that playing from mats is more injurious than playing from grass. The reason could be due to differences in the loads on the wrists when striking from the different surfaces. Future research should therefore be conducted to examine the differences in loading of the wrist joints between the two conditions.
Syfte och frågeställningar Syftet med studien var att undersöka handledsvinklarna vid träffögonblicket vid slag från två vanliga underlag i golf. Frågeställningarna var: finns det en skillnad i ulnar/radial deviation eller flexion/extension vid handlederna vid slag från en matta placerad på en stålställning jämfört med slag från gräs. Metod Sex manliga elit golfare (Handikapp: +0.6±2.2) rekryterades till studien. Ett optoelektroniskt system innehållandes 12 infraröda kameror registrerade reflekterande markörer som var placerade på försökspersonerna och på en golfklubba när försökspersonerna utövade tre slag från matta och tre slag från gräs. Markörerna identifierades sedan i mjukvaran Qualisys Track Manager och markörbanan importerades till Visual 3D. De reflekterande markörerna placerades bilateralt på mediala och laterala epikondylerna av humerus, stydoliderna på radius och ulna, samt på andra och femte metakarpofalangealled. Utöver dessa markörer så beräknades en armbågsmarkör som mittpunkten mellan de två armbågsmarkörerna. De lokala koordinatsystemen var definierade från dessa markörer vilket gav de proximala och distala änderna av segmenten samt frontal planet. Handledsvinklarna var definierade som positionen av det lokala koordinatsystemet på hand segmentet i förhållande till positionen av underarmssegmentets lokala koordinatsystem. Flexion/extension och ulnar/radial deviation av handlederna beräknades vid träffögonblicket. Resultat Inga signifikanta skillnader (p > 0.05) upptäcktes för ulnar deviation eller flexion/extension vid träffögonblicket för någon av handlederna mellan de två underlagen. Slutsats Att det inte upptäcktes några signifikanta skillnader i någon av handledsvinklarna vid träffögonblicket mellan de två underlagen visar på att handledens vinkelposition inte skiljer sig signifikant mellan de två underlagen. Detta kan vara positivt ur ett inlärningsperspektiv eftersom tekniken inte ändras om man byter underlag. Att ulnar deviationen inte skiljde sig mellan de två underlagen tyder på att ulnar deviationen troligtvis inte är en orsak till varför forskare och spelare föreslår att slag från matta är mer skadligt än slag från gräs. Anledningen till detta kan vara på grund av skillnader i handledsbelastning vid slag från de olika underlagen. Fortsatt forskning bör därför undersöka skillnader i belastningen på handlederna mellan de två underlagen.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: The knee joint is one of the most frequently injured structures in the game of golf. The loads experienced by the knee during the golf swing are typically greater than those experienced during walking. In particular, a heightened lead limb peak external knee adduction moment has been linked to the progression of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA). Altering movement patterns is a common strategy that can be used to reduce loading on the knee joint but has received little attention during the golf swing. Also, while such manipulations may be beneficial from an injury prevention perspective, they may have implications on golf performance. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects altering stance has on the peak knee adduction moment and swing speed during the golf swing. METHODS: Twenty healthy subjects were recruited for a 3-dimensional biomechanical analysis wherein participants hit three golf shots using different stance positions in which either foot angle or stance width was altered. The following stance conditions were used: self-selected, 0º foot angle (perpendicular to target line), 30º foot angle (externally rotated), wide stance width, and narrow stance width RESULTS: Both the 30º foot angle and the wide stance width significantly decreased (p < 0.001) the lead limb peak external knee adduction moment compared to the self-selected golf stance. In contrast, the narrow stance width significantly increased (p = 0.023) the peak knee adduction moment when compared to the self-selected stance. No significant differences were found in the peak knee adduction moment between the 0º foot angle and self-selected stance. Lastly, no significant differences (p = 0.109) were found in swing speed between any of the stance conditions. CONCLUSION: The externally rotated foot position and wider stance width decreased the lead limb peak knee adduction moment without hindering performance. Considering the prevalence of injury to the lead limb knee joint, modifying a golfer’s stance could potentially be used to increase the longevity of their playing career.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to retrospective investigate perceived demands and barriers for

golf juniors in their transition from regional to national junior elite competitions, and to find

out what resources and coping strategies the juniors used to succeed with this transition. The

developmental model (Wylleman & Lavallee, 2004), The analytical career model

(Stambulova, 2003) and The athletic career transitions model (Stambulova, 1997; 2003) were

used as theoretical framework for this study. The interviews were conducted with nine junior

golf players. A semi-structured interview guide was used consisting of five main themes:

background information, changes/demands experienced in the transition, resources that helped

the golf juniors to adjust to the new level, strategies the golf juniors used to adjust to the new

level and an evaluation of the transition. The result showed that the players perceived the

practice as more serious with an overall higher quality when they started to compete in

national competitions. The players increased their training time and started to use a variation

of exercises that were similar to the different parts of a competition. The competitions were

also perceived as more challenging with stronger opponents and an increased rivalry between

the players. Confidence and self-esteem, the will to practice and win are characteristics that

many players consider to be important internal resources in order to adapt to the national

junior level. The players observed other players to learn from them and to see what they

needed to improve. Many players changed their golf coaches around the same time as they

started to compete at national junior level. The coaches and parents were seen as the most

important external resources in order to adapt to the national junior level. Many players

experienced that it would have been hard to play and compete in golf without their parents’

financial help and support. During the time of the transition, outside golf the players learned

how to take responsibility and how to take care of themselves through traveling alone,

meeting new people and living by themselves. The players experienced that the school didn’t

have any understanding for their need to be free from school. The players also had to give a

lower priority to some other things in their life in order to have enough time for golf. The

biggest change was that they had to spend less time with their friends and the different

activities that they used to do before.

Lucas, Timothy David. "Computational modelling of the golf stroke." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1999. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5001/.

Full text

Abstract:

The golf stroke was computationally modelled using finite element analysis. Results for the impact between the club head and the ball compared well with previous research, both practical and theoretical. The results imply that for thick face club heads, such as irons, club head performance is independent of material stiffness but highly dependent on the friction of the interface and the clubhead geometry. The three ball flight predictors (speed, trajectory and spin rate) as a function of clubhead parameters are shown to be non-trivial. Acceptable models of impact could be achieved using rigid faces for thick face clubheads with the centre of mass and clubhead inertia accurately described. Results on ball construction effects imply that both the stiffness and mass distribution throughout the ball affect performance. The large deformations of the ball mean that classic rigid body mechanics cannot suffice in golf impact predictions. A model of the golf swing based on a double pendulum was constructed and shaft performance examined for various styles of golf swing. Shaft parameters thought to affect performance were quantitatively evaluated and results compared well with previous research. Increased club head speeds at impact were achieved with shafts of lighter weight or reduced bending stiffness for all styles of golf swing examined. The cause of bending forward of the shaft at impact was identified to occur from the large centrifugal forces acting on the head and the increased bending stiffness of the shaft also due to centrifugal force. On a detailed level shaft behaviour was affected by vibrations which appeared chaotic due to the changing stiffness of the system. This is expected to be less of an effect in an actual golf shot due to the damping provided by the human participant.

Abstract:

L'étude de la biomécanique du geste sport a pour double objectif d'améliorer la performance et de minimiser le risque de blessures. De multiples études ont appliqué les principes de la biomécanique au mouvement du swing de golf. Toutefois, des biais méthodologiques et un manque de consensus ont conduit à des résultats parfois contradictoires. Ainsi, l'objectif premier de cette thèse a été d'effectuer une analyse exhaustive de l'état de l'art de la biomécanique appliquée au swing de golf. Le second objectif a été de concevoir et de mettre en place un protocole expérimental qui permette l'analyse du swing de golf. Et le troisième objectif a été de développer les modèles et analyses permettant l'étude du swing de golf. Cette partie a été effectuée à l'aide du développement d'un modèle musculo-squelettique via le logiciel OpenSim.34 joueurs ont été analysés dans le cadre de cette thèse. Les analyses ont porté sur de multiples éléments : géométriques, cinématiques, dynamiques et énergétiques. Différents critères ont été pris en compte, dont certains couramment pris en compte dans l'analyse du swing de golf (e.g. X-factor), dans l'analyse du mouvement (e.g. dynamique articulaire), mais aussi de nouveaux critères tels que le moment moteur ou le moment cinétique moteur.Des perspectives en termes de transferts vers les équipes médicales et les entraîneurs ont été proposées
Studying biomechanics aspects of sport movements is aiming at improving performance and reducing injury risk. Several studies have used biomechanics concepts to study golf swing. However, several methodological biases and the lack of consensus have driven to contradictions. Thus, the first objective of this thesis was to do an exhaustive literature review of the biomechanics applied to golf swing. The second objective was to establish an experimental protocol for studying golf swing. And the third objective was to develop models and analysis to study golf swing. This part was done by a musculoskeletal model developed with OpenSim software.34 golf players have been analyzed for this thesis. Those analyses tackled multiples aspects : geometries, kinematics, kinetics and energetics. Several criteria have been taken into account, some from golf swing analysis (e.g. X-factor), from movement analysis (e.g. articular kinetics) and some new ones such as motor moment and motor kinetic moment.Perspectives for transferring results to medical staff and coaches were proposed

Abstract:

Golfers, coaches and researchers alike, have all keyed in on golf putting as an important aspect of overall golf performance. Of the three principle putting tasks (green reading, alignment and the putting action phase), the putting action phase has attracted the most attention from coaches, players and researchers alike. This phase includes the alignment of the club with the ball, the swing, and ball contact. A significant amount of research in this area has focused on measuring golfer’s vision strategies with eye tracking equipment. Unfortunately this research suffers from a number of shortcomings, which limit its usefulness. The purpose of this thesis was to address some of these shortcomings. The primary objective of this thesis was to re-evaluate golfer’s putting vision strategies using binocular eye tracking equipment and to define a new, optimal putting vision strategy which was associated with both higher skill and success. In order to facilitate this research, bespoke computer software was developed and validated, and new gaze behaviour criteria were defined. Additionally, the effects of training (habitual) and competition conditions on the putting vision strategy were examined, as was the effect of ocular dominance. Finally, methods for improving golfer’s binocular vision strategies are discussed, and a clinical plan for the optometric management of the golfer’s vision is presented. The clinical management plan includes the correction of fundamental aspects of golfers’ vision, including monocular refractive errors and binocular vision defects, as well as enhancement of their putting vision strategy, with the overall aim of improving performance on the golf course. This research has been undertaken in order to gain a better understanding of the human visual system and how it relates to the sport performance of golfers specifically. Ultimately, the analysis techniques and methods developed are applicable to the assessment of visual performance in all sports.

Abstract:

It is important to investigate how the golf swing changes with extended play because fatigue affects the performance of athletes playing sports similar to golf. Golf is a physically demanding sport when playing 18 holes while walking and carrying a bag. The effect of playing 18 holes of golf on the mechanics and swing outcome of the golfer are currently unknown. The knowledge of how extended play affects the golf swing will aid golfers, golf coaches, and researchers in understanding proper golf training and play affected swing mechanics. This study investigates the effect of playing 18 holes of simulated golf on the mechanics and performance of the golfer. A total of seven male and female recreational golfers scoring between 80 and 95 on 18 holes of walked golf were recruited for 3-D motion analysis of 140 tee shots. Mechanical variables and outcome variables at three phases of the golf swing were tested over time to evaluate the relationship between time (playing golf), mechanical variables, and the outcome of the golf shot tested statistically using path analysis. Weight transfer to the lead leg at ball contact was significantly related to club head velocity (CHV). Over time, golfers were less able to achieve a weight transfer to the lead leg, which was directly related to the golfers' club head velocity. The lead knee and lead ankle angles were also affected by time, which had an influence on club head velocity. These results suggest that golfers do change their swing throughout the course of 18 holes of walked golf and there are key swing mechanics which significantly influence golf performance.
