본 연구의 목적은 숙련수준에 따라 퍼팅위치, 퍼팅구간이 퍼팅속도와 성공률에 영향을 미치는지 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 숙련골퍼 16명(남자 7명, 여자 9명), 미숙련골퍼 12명(남자6명, 여자6명)을 대상으로 4가지의 그린(평지, 뒤높음, 좌높음, 우높음)에서 1.8m 퍼팅스트로크를 5회씩 반복하였다. 자료수집은 19대의 적외선카메라를 사용하였으며, 속도를 초당 120Hz로 동기화하였다. 자료처리는 골프에 대한 숙련수준과 퍼팅위치, 퍼팅구간에 따라 퍼팅속도와 성공률에 차이가 있는지를 검증하기 위해 3 요인[2(숙련수준) x 4(퍼팅위치) x 5(퍼팅구간)] 혼합모형 MANOVA (Three-factor mixed model MANOVA) 방법을 적용하였다. 그리고 성공률에 차이가 있는지를 검증하기 위해서는 2요인[2(숙련수준) x 4(퍼팅위치)] ANOVA 방법을 적용하였다. 연구문제는 숙련수준, 퍼팅위치, 퍼팅구간에 따라 퍼팅속도는 차이가 있는가? 그리고 숙련수준과 퍼팅위치에 따라 성공률은 차이가 있는가? 로 설정하였다. 결과에 따르면 퍼팅구간별로 퍼팅속도의 평균은 숙련수준과 관계없이 볼이 시작하는 지점으로부터 0.15m에서 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 미숙련집단과 숙련집단의 퍼팅속도 평균간에는 통계적으로 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다(F(1, 26)=0.05, p=.819, η<SUB>p</SUB>²=.002). 한편 숙련수준에 따른 퍼팅위치 별 성공률은 전체적으로 숙련집단이 미숙련집단보다 높은 것으로 나타났다[F(1, 1.4)=5.91, p=.017, η<SUB>p</SUB>²=.054]. 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보이지는 않았으나 ’우높음‘에서는 미숙련집단의 성공률 평균이 숙련집단보다 높은 것으로 나타났다[F(1, 26)=0.15, p=.698, η<SUB>p</SUB>²=.006].
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the putting position and the putting section influence the putting speed and success rate according to the skill level. The participants were 16 skilled golfers (7 men, 9 women) and 12 unskilled golfers (6 men, 6 women). The experiment was repeated 5 times with a 1.8m putting stroke on four greens (flat, back high, left high, right high). For data collection, 19 infrared cameras were used, and the speed was synchronized to 120Hz per second. Data processing is a mixture of 3 factors [2 (skill level) x 4(putting position) x 5 (putting section)] to verify whether there is a difference in the putting speed and success rate according to the skill level, putting position, and putting section of golf. The model MANOVA (Three-factor mixed model MANOVA) method was applied. And to verify whether there is a difference in the success rate, the 2 factor [2 (skill level) x 4 (putting position)] ANOVA method was applied. The research question is, is there a difference in putting speed according to skill level, putting position, and putting section? And is there any difference in success rate according to skill level and putting position? According to the results, the average of the putting speed for each putting section was found to be the highest at 0.15m from the starting point of the ball regardless of the skill level. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference between the average of the putting speed of the unskilled group and the skilled group (F(1, 26)=0.05, p=.819, η<SUB>p</SUB>²=.002). Meanwhile, the success rate of each putting position according to the skill level was found to be higher in the skilled group than the unskilled group [F(1, 1.4)=5.91, p=.017, η<SUB>p</SUB>²=.054]. Although there was no statistically significant difference, the average of the success rate of the unskilled group was higher than that of the skilled group in"Right High"[F(1, 26)=0.15, p=.698, η<SUB>p</SUB>²=.006].
