Two studies examined EEG co-activation (coherence) between the verbal-analytical (T3) and motor planning (Fz) regions during a golf putting task. In Study 1, participants with a strong propensity to consciously monitor and control their movements, determined psychometrically by high scores on a movement specific Reinvestment Scale, displayed more alpha2 T3-Fz co-activation than participants wit...

Introduction This paper summarizes my collection of research findings on the role of shaft flexibility in the golf swing. The research was initiated during my PhD thesis under the supervision of Dr. Eric Sprigings. The goal was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the role that shaft stiffness plays in the golf swing. This paper will provide a rationale for the methodologies I’ve used, a su...

Substantial research has indicated the beneficial effect of physical activity on physical fitness and activities of daily living in older adults, but none have investigated the effects on performance of recreational activities. This investigation studied the effect of an exercise program on fitness and golf-clubhead speed in older men. Thirty-one golfers (mean age 65.1 +/- 6.2 years) were rando...

A non-driven double pendulum model is used to explain the principle underlying the surprising efficiency of the golf swing. The principle can be described as a parametric energy transfer between the arms and the club head due to the changing moment of inertia of the club. The transfer is a consequence of conservation of energy and angular momentum. Because the pendulum is not driven by an exter...

The yips in golf is the interruption of a smooth putting movement by an involuntary jerk or freezing of the arm. Psychological factors seem to worsen the phenomenon. However, published data on how the yips in golf is cognitively and emotionally experienced are very limited. Moreover, the focus of attention in yips-affected golfers has not been investigated. Thus, we interviewed 17 yips-affected...

We introduce a constraint-based motion editing technique enforcing the intrinsic motion flow of a given motion pattern (e.g., golf swing). Its major characteristic is to operate in the motion Principal Coefficients (PCs) space instead of the pose PCs space. By construction, it is sufficient to constrain a single frame with Inverse Kinematics (e.g., the hitting position of the golf club head) to...

As restrictions on water use, fertilization, and pesticide applications continue to increase, golf course superintendents will need to use grass species that require reduced inputs. The objective of this study was to evaluate alternative turfgrass species under lowinput fairways conditions. In 2005, 17 species were established on native soil in St. Paul, MN. Each species was evaluated at three ...

An indoor golf simulator is an augmented game simulator. Because an indoor golf simulator can be easily installed in indoor golf centers, fitness centers, offices, and residential houses, it has become one of the hottest products on the market, allowing golfers to enjoy their games indoors. However, the existing indoor golf simulators require that a player finish his game without a break. This ...

It has been played 91 times but 2017 it cancelled due to absence sponsorship. This paper is result a research made by three public Universities Madrid with Journalism programs and show their interest game golf role golfer Jon Rahm, who brought nearly 50.0...
