Abstract

This study is to analyze effectiveness of golf skills (driving distance, rating of fairway, green in regulation, sand save ratio, recovery ratio, putting average) to average score using records of PGA, LPGA, KPGA, KLPGA. Independent variables were driving distance, rating of fairway, green in regulation, sand save ratio or recovery ratio, putting average. Dependent variable was the scoring average in this study. To analyze these variables, multi-group (PGA vs LPGA, KPGA vs KLPGA, PGA vs KPGA, LPGA vs KLPGA) path analysis was used through AMOS 18.0 program and significance level was set at 0.05. As the result, the variables that show significant differences of path coefficient between PGA model and LPGA model were driving distance and green in regulation to average score. The variables that show significant differences of path coefficient between KPGA model and KLPGA model were driving distance, recovery ratio, and putting average to average score. The variables that show significant differences of path coefficient between PGA model and KPGA model were driving distance, recovery ratio, and putting average to average score. There was not significant difference of path coefficient between LPGA model and KLPGA model.

이 연구는 프로골프대회에서 기록되는 중요변인들 (드라이브거리, 페어웨이안착율, 그린적중율, 센드세이브율, 리커버리율, 평균퍼팅수)이 평균타수에 미치는 영향력에 대해 집단 간 차이를 분석하였다. 구체적으로 미국남자프로골프협회 (PGA), 미국여자프로골프협회 (LPGA), 한국남자프로골프투어 (KGT), 그리고 한국여자프로골프투어 (KLPGT)에서 측정, 공개하는 자료를 통해 PGA, LPGA, KPGA, KLPGA 집단 간에 중요변인들이 평균타수에 미치는 경로에 유의한 차이가 있는지를 검증하였다. 그 결과 PGA와 LPGA 모형 간에 드라이브거리와 그린적중율이 평균타수에 미치는 경로가 p <.05 수준에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, KPGA와 KLPGA 모형 간에는 드라이브거리, 리커버리율, 그리고 평균퍼팅이 평균타수에 미치는 경로가 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 PGA와 KPGA 모형 간에 드라이브거리, 리커버리율, 그리고 평균퍼팅이 평균타수에 미치는 경로가p <.05 수준에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, LPGA와 KLPGA 모형 간에는 모든 경로에서 p >.05 수준에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구 결과는 남녀 국내 투어와 미국 투어의 골프 경기력의 구조 특성을 이해하는데 필요한 기초자료로 활용 할 수 있을 것이며 향후 투어 진출을 위한 유의한 정보가 될 수 있을 것이다.
