AB: Anticipation-coincidence tasks have been widely
studied in order to better understand the coupling between
perceptual information and motor action. Based on Lee's
(1976) original time-to-contact theory the present study
analysed the temporal control of golf putting. Though
the conventional tau theory had difficulties in accounting
for the visual control of accelerating movement, it
was suggested here that the temporal control of impact
can be achieved on the basis of an optical variable:
tau departure. The time from departure control hypothesis
suggests that the starting position rather than the
final position, plays a crucial role in the on-line
visual control of golf putting. In order to test the
tau departure hypothesis, a kinematic analysis of downswing
was carried out when vision of the club was either allowed
or occluded during movement execution. Results agreed
quite well with the theoretical predictions and it was
concluded that the time from departure control strategy
might account for visually guided accelerating movements
in golf putting and other striking skills.

AB: To improve putting performance, golfers have often
used goal-setting techniques which require realistic
performance expectations. Thus, examining whether external
factors such as putting green irregularities affect
putting performance is crucial to goal setting. The
purpose of the study was to examine fluctuations in
the trueness of roll of a golf ball across a green.
A ball was mechanically rolled across a green in the
morning and afternoon on a day when there was normal
play and on a day when the course was closed to play.
Analysis indicated that significant fluctuations in
distance and dispersion were present throughout these
time frames, i.e., the greatest distance of roll and
the least amount of dispersion were present in the morning
and on the day closed to play. Golfers should take into
account these external fluctuations in trueness of roll
when establishing goal-setting procedures involving
putting skills.

AB: Several studies suggested the existence of a functional
equivalence between motor imagery and motor production.
However, most of them concerned with sequential or long-duration
motor tasks. The aim of this experiment was to analyse
the timing of a short-duration movement, the putting
movement in golf, carried out either actually or mentally.
Results showed that in actual movement, amplitude increased
as a function of target distance whereas movement time
remained stable over different target distances (principle
of isochrony). By contrast, the results were clearly
different in imagined movement condition. Duration of
imagined movement was higher than duration of actual
movement and increased as a function of target distance.
Contrary to what was usually reported with long-duration
movements, our results suggest the absence of a temporal
equivalence between imagined and actual movement for
short-duration performances. In this latter case, imagined
and actual movements seemed not to share the same temporal
rules of production, at least those concerning the regulation
of movement time as a function of movement amplitude.
Overall, the results are discussed in relation with
the specific influence of mental practice on short and
long-duration movements.

AB: The purpose of the study was to understand how force
is controlled for impact movements such as golf putting.
Expert players (10) and control subjects (10) executed
a putt as accurately as possible, in order to reach
a target distance of 1, 2, 3, or 4 m. Movements of the
club were recorded at 200 Hz via a SELSPOT system. Overall,
the results showed that, in order to increase club velocity
at the moment of contact with the ball with increasing
distance of the target, subjects increased the downswing
(DS) amplitude maintaining DS movement time constant.
The change in force required to reach the different
distances seemed to rely on an adjustment of the magnitude
of the motor command within the same time period. Furthermore,
our results showed that the movement of putting consists
primarily in specifying the amplitude of the Backswing
(BS) as a function of the distance of the target. This
gives rise to a motor impulse originating the force-time
function required for an adequate DS movement.

AB: Much research in sport psychology has examined the
relationship between confidence and performance during
a competitive event by administering a questionnaire
to subjects about an hour before the competition and
then correlating responses to questionnaire items with
performance results. A major criticism to this approach
is that if the time between confidence assessment and
performance is too large, intervening cognitions, not
assessed, may occur and cause the original assessment
to be less relevant. In order to account for this drawback,
a study was designed which allowed for confidence assessment
during competitive performance. Fifty-four golfers participated
in an 18-hole putting match against a competitor. Immediately
before the first putt of each hole, players stated whether
they were very, somewhat, or not confident of making
the putt they were attempting. After the first putt
of each hole, players stated how confident (very, somewhat,
or not) they were during the putting stroke that they
had made the putt attempted. From post-experiment questionnaire
responses, any player who stated that he could not report
confidence without taking the result into account was
omitted from the analysis. Confidence measures taken
before and during the first putt of each hole were then
correlated with putting performance for each hole. Putting
performance was defined as whether or not subjects made
or missed the putt they attempted. Results showed that
confidence during putting had a stronger relation with
performance than confidence before putting. Confidence
also had a stronger relation with performance during
matchplay competition than medalplay competition. Future
research might examine many different measures of performance
to determine if the criterion variable used affects
the relationship found between confidence and performance.

AB: Thirty-six non-disabled (ND) and 36 children with
mild mental retardation (MMR) were randomly assigned
to blocked (BP), random (RP), or mixed (MP) practice
groups. Subjects putted a golf ball from 75cm, 100cm,
and 125cm. BP groups performed 12 trials of one distance
before attempting the other distances. RP groups performed
12 trials per distance randomly. MP groups practiced
sets (4 trials/set) in random order. Following a 10
minute rest, subjects performed 4 trials from each distance
in serial order. Next, a transfer test (TR1) of 12 trials
from 150cm was given. A second transfer test (TR2),
consisted of six holes of miniature golf. Absolute,
variable, and total error scores, and number of putts
made were analyzed. The dependent measure for TR2 was
total game score. Analysis of dependent measures revealed
significantly better performance by the MD group. Practice
schedule results indicated the BP group performed significantly
better than the other two groups during acquisition
and retention. No significant schedule differences were
obtained for TR1. Results of TR2 found no significant
differences among practice schedules within the ND group;
however, among subjects with MMR, the MP group had significantly
higher game scores than the BP and RP groups, which
did not differ significantly.

AB: This investigation examined the contextual interference
effect when manipulating over-all force in a golf-putting
task. Undergraduate women (N = 30) were randomly assigned
to a Random, Blocked-Random, or Blocked practice condition
and practiced golf putting from distances of 2.43 m,
3.95 m, and 5.47 m during acquisition. Subjects in the
Random condition practiced trials in a quasirandom sequence
and those in the Blocked-Random condition practiced
trials initially in a blocked sequence with the remainder
of the trials practiced in a quasirandom sequence. In
the Blocked condition subjects practiced trials in a
blocked sequence. A 24-hr. transfer test consisted of
30 trials with 10 trials each from 1.67 m, 3.19 m, and
6.23 m. Transfer scores supported the Magill and Hall
(1990) hypothesis that, when task variations involve
learning parameters of a generalized motor program,
the benefit of random practice over blocked practice
would not be found.

AB: The purpose of this study was to examine the impulse
variability model and to apply the result to the golf
putting accuracy. Impulse variability model means that
movement accuracy is proportional to the size of impulse
variability which is caused by the inherent noise of
muscle contraction. Therefore, it can be considered
that if the size of impulse is same there is no change
in impulse variability. Experiment I was designed to
examine impulse variability function when the impulse
size was same and the shape was varied by changing movement
amplitude and movement time. The result showed that
impulse variability was significantly different in various
impulse shapes and the minimum impulse variability appeared
in the medium range of movement. Experiment 2 was designed
to identify which condition was best in the same putter
head speed caused by the same impulse. The most accurate
condition appeared when the subject swang the putter
head in a preferred movement range and time. From the
two experiment, it is suggested that impulse variability
was nonlinear and the most accurate movement condition
was in the preferred state.

AB: The purpose of this investigation was to determine
the attentional focus patterns associated with golf
putting performance. Highly skilled golfers (N=34) were
assessed using electroencephalographic (EEG) measures
of the motor and temporal cortices during the 3 s prior
to the golf putt. Players completed 40, 12-ft putts
and performance was measured in cm error from the hole.
Three measures of EEG were analyzed: slow shift, 40
Hz, and relative power spectrum; representing readiness
to respond, focused arousal, and general cortical activity,
respectively. All three EEG measures suggested a decrease
in left hemisphere, motor cortex activity as the player
prepared to putt. Relative power measures also showed
significant increases in right hemisphere activity in
both the motor and temporal cortices. During the last
second preceding the putt, increased right hemisphere
alpha activity correlated with and predicted less error.
Hemispheric differentiation was also reduced as subjects
prepared to putt and few, but important, differences
existed between the motor and temporal cortices. An
important distinction occurred in the alpha band. In
the motor cortex left hemisphere alpha increased significantly
over time while in the temporal cortex, right hemisphere
alpha increased as subjects approached stroke initiation.
Differences that existed between the attentional patterns
from the present study and past sport studies may relate
to the use of one versus two hands to initiate the response.

AB: The present study examined the effect of heart rate
(HR) deceleration biofeedback training on golf putting
performance. It was hypothesized that those subjects
trained to produce a pattern of HR deceleration (phasic
biofeedback) would putt better than those subjects trained
to produce a lowered HR level (tonic biofeedback) or
those subjects not trained in HR patterning (control).
It was also hypothesized that during putting, subjects
in the phasic biofeedback condition would show greater
HR deceleration during the four seconds preceding stroke
initiation than subjects in either the tonic biofeedback
or control conditions. The results did not support the
first hypothesis. The phasic biofeedback group did not
putt significantly better than the tonic biofeedback
and control groups. The results of this study did not
provide support for the secondhypothesis. The phasic
biofeedback condition did not show greater HR deceleration
than the tonic biofeedback or control conditions. Self-report
measures of attentional focus did not help explain the
results of this study. It is possible that although
subjects in the biofeedback conditions learned to control
their HR during training, the transfer of this skill
was inhibited due to the constant schedule of feedback
during training. Future research is needed to determine
the biofeedback procedures that optimize the retention
and transfer of HR decelerationfrom training to the
preshot routine of the golf putt.

years. The approach task was to putt ten golf balls
into an easy target while music and noise was playing
to distract subjects from the task. Subjects were trained
in either approach (mental rehearsal) or avoidance (attentional
focus) strategies. The relationship between approach
and avoidance coping strategies, the nature of the task,
the appraisal of perceived demand and perceived capability,
and performance were examined. Some evidence was found
to support the classification of stressful transactions
as requiring either an approach or an avoidance strategy.
The use of the appropriate strategy enhanced perceived
capability and improved performance. Evidence was also
found to support the conceptualisation of stress as
an appraised imbalance between perceived demand and
perceived capability. These results suggest that the
training and use of an appropriate strategy can lower
stress and enhance the performance of people in a sporting
situation. The theoretical and professional implications
of these findings are discussed.
FRAB: Les auteurs ont etudie l'efficacite que presentent
des strategies d'approche et d'escamotage pour faire
face a des situations de stress pendant des performances
sportives. On a pris comme echantillon un groupe de
90 etudiantes agees entre 17 et 40 annees, dont la tache
d'approche etait celle de taper dans 10 balles de golf
en leur faisant parcourir une trace en forme de S avant
d'entrer dans le trou. La tache d'escamotage etait de
taper dans 10 balles de golf et d'atteindre un objectif
facile, tandis qu'une musique et du bruit distrayaient
les sujets de leur tache. Les sujets etaient entraines
dans les deux strategies d'approche (repetition mentale)
et d'escamotage (focalisation). On a examine les rapports
entre strategies d'approche et d'escamotage, nature
de la tache, evaluation de la tache et perception de
la capacite, et performance. Les donnees semblent confirmer
l'idee selon laquelle dans des situations de stress
il faut des strategies aussi bien d'approche que d'escamotage.
L'utilisation de la strategie la plus appropriee augmente
la perception de la capacite et ameliore la performance.
Les donnees, en outre, confirment l'hypothese de la
definition de stress en termes de desequilibre valuatif
entre perception de la demande et perception des capacites.
Ces donnees mettent en evidence que l'entrainement et
l'utilisation de strategies appropriees peuvent reduire
le stress et ameliorer la performance sportive. On discute,
en outre, les implications theoriques et professionelles
connexes a ces resultats.

AB: The accuracy of two different putting styles, golf's
standard style, using a conventional putter with a pendulum
stroke, versus using a pendulum stroke with the relatively
new long putter (52 in.), was compared for 60 men and
28 women in beginning college physical education golf
classes. A nine-hole Bermuda grass putting green had
holes ranging in distance form 2 to 50 ft. Each student
was given a score card (1) for recording the results
on each hole, and (2) which listed a random assignment
of the order of putting style for each hole. Also, for
two specific holes of 15 feet and 50 feet, the distance
at which the balls stopped away from the cup was measured.
An analysis of variance of mean total putting scores
gave no significant difference between putting styles
or between styles on the short and long distances to
holes when first putts were measured. The traditional
method of putting may not be the best technique for
all beginning golfers; other methods such as using a
long putter may be as effective.

Feb 1988, 139-143 Refs:7
AB: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects
of two putting stances (conventional versus side-saddle)
and two points of aim (ball versus hole) on putting
accuracy. Subjects (12 men, 4 women) were taught to
putt using four methods: (a) conventional stance, eyes
on the ball; (b) conventional stance, eyes on the hole;
(c) side-saddle stance, eyes on the ball; and (d) side-saddle
stance, eyes on the hole. Each subject practiced each
method for 2 wk., after which they were tested for putting
acuracy by counting putts made, determining constant
error, and by calculating variable error. Accuracy was
assessed at 5 and 15 ft. A 2 by 2 repeated-measures
analysis of variance showed that there was no single
combination of stance and point of aim that was significantly
better than another at either distance. This suggests
that, contrary to popular opinion, the traditional method
of putting is not the best for putting; other methods
are equally as good and could be used if individually
desired.

AB: This paper develops a method of rating golf putts
which fall into the category defined as aggressive.
In executing an aggressive putt the golfer pays no attention
to the possible consequences of missing. Formulas for
the computation of error in unsuccessful putts are presented.
The probability of success of an aggressive putt is
heightened when the attempt is downhill and the green
is fast.
