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.

JN: Korean-journal-of-sport-science-(Seoul) 5, 1993, 123-137 Refs:17
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.

1993, 30-48 Refs:32
AB: This study examined the efficacy of approach and avoidance strategies
for coping with stress experienced during sports performance. Subjects
were 90 undergraduate female students whose ages ranged from 17 years
to 40 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.

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.
