目的:高爾夫教練為瞭解每位選手的身體狀況及技術判斷,在比賽後分析各項技巧,利用這些比賽記錄分析選手的總表現,更能有效率的幫助選手降低總桿數。不同於國內既有的相關研究多以職業球員為主,本研究分析青少年高爾夫培訓選手技術因素與運動成績之關聯性。方法:本研究以30位青少年高爾夫培訓選手兩回合的月賽成績為分析對象,並依球道分為年滿12歲之男性培訓選手、年滿12歲之女性培訓選手和未滿12歲之培訓選手等3個子樣本。多元迴歸模型以每回合總桿數為被解釋變數,上果嶺成功率、平均推桿數、救球成功率、上球道成功率等技術表現因素為解釋變數,並控制球員的球齡、回合次和性別等因素。結果:研究發現影響不同年齡層、不同性別之高爾夫球 培訓選手成績表現的技術因素並不相同。上果嶺成功率是影響年滿12歲球員成績表現的顯著因素;另一方面,推桿能力是影響未滿12歲球員成績表現的重要因素。最後,年滿12歲女性培訓選手第一回合成績顯著低於第二回合成績,情緒調整及穩定性可能是影響 年滿12歲女性培訓選手成績表現的重要原因。結論:根據本研究之分析結果,教練針對不同年齡層、不同性別之高爾夫球培訓選手,應設計不同的訓練方法,以提升球員之成績表現。
Purpose: Scoring represents not only the end of a game but also the record of the player. The most important thing is that scoring can be used for examination after the game. A golf coach can apply scientific analysis to the record to help players improve their performance effectively. Unlike previous research focusing on professional players, the study investigates the relationship between skills and performance for junior golf players. Methods: The empirical sample of this study consists of 30 junior golf players who each play 2 rounds. According to the lengths of fairways in the game, the sample is categorized into 3 subsamples: male trainees aged 12 or above, female trainees aged 12 or above, and trainees under 12. The study regresses scores of each round on greens in regulation percentage, putts per round, scrambling, and driving accuracy. The multiple regression model also controls for player's years of playing golf, rounds and gender. Results: The results show that the determinants of scores for different ages and genders vary: greens in regulation percentage is a significant variable of trainees aged 12 or over, which may be due to the longer fairways in the game. On the other hand, since most trainees under 12 are unskilled in driving and saving, putting skill is the most significant determinant of their performance. Finally, the first round score of female trainees aged 12 or above is significantly worse than the second round. Emotional stability might be a determinant of their performance. Conclusions: According to the results, the instructor should provide trainees with a range of training formats and content based on their age and gender in order to improve their performance.
