ゴルフの基本スイングに関する構造体系論的考察

抄録

 The objective of this paper is to categorize the basic golf swing that has been covered in golf tutorials, and by identifying the interrelationships between the categories, to find the swing considered to be most ideal today. If this type of basic swing can be identified, then based on such findings, it would be possible to systematically develop the learning steps to acquire the basic swing, as well as the learning steps from the basic swing to the applied swing.

 In order to achieve this objective, concepts of the basic swing of sixty-two distinguished players were gathered from 131 distinguished golf tutorials written been from 1920 to 2001, and were categorized from a viewpoint of movement structure.

 Based on these categories, this paper has found that the concept of the basic swing can be broadly classified into four main categories. Subsequently, observations of the phylogeny of the four categories have revealed that the no wrist turn/vertical axis is the most ideal swing today.

 In future, by continuing to further categorize different variations of the basic swing considered to be ideal, and bytrying to clearly define learning objectives, it would be possible to develop a theoretically supported reasonable teaching methods, as an alternative to the methods of teaching that has depended widely on personal experience.
