Innovation Stroke Putting Golf For Success

Abstract

The objectives of this research are 1) to develop innovations for creating golf putting strokes, 2) to study the use of innovation in creating putting strokes for training golfers with skill levels (Handicap) between 0 - 24, and 3) to compare the golf putting skills of golfers before and after using the innovation to create golf putting strokes. The sample group for this research consisted of male and female amateur golfers with skill levels between 0 - 24, totaling 20 participants. These were randomly divided into a control group of 10 participants and an experimental group of 10 participants, with groups formed based on skill level. The tool used in this study measured the golf putting rhythm. The statistical methods used for data analysis included percentages, standard deviation, and the Mann-Whitney U test.

The research results found that

1. It was found that the skills necessary to build successful golf putting skills consist of four key elements 1) Move the putter sideways in a straight line, 90 degrees away from the golf ball (addressing the ball before moving the club), approximately 5 inches. 2) Return the putter to its original position in a straight line at 90 degrees. 3) Bring the putter to strike the ball in a straight line by releasing the putter 90 degrees at the point of impact. 4) Align the putter face to the hole in a straight line at 90 degrees. During the putting stroke, the golfer’s head must remain steady and should not follow the movement of the putter face throughout the stroke.

Conclusions : The results of using innovation to create golf putting strokes for training golfers with skill levels between 0 – 24 showed significant improvement in the experimental group. Each training period in the experimental group demonstrated a statistically significant difference at the 0.05 level, indicating that the group trained using the innovation to develop golf putting strokes experienced faster improvement in their putting abilities. Additionally, when comparing the golf putting skills of golfers before and after using the innovation, it was found that the experimental group showed higher putting skills than the control group, with a statistically significant difference at the 0.05 level. This demonstrates that innovation in creating a golf putting rhythm can enhance golfers’ ability to putt more efficiently.
