Abstract
It is necessary, besides a setup of yardage, to think from a viewpoint of a view or environment in the design of a golf course. In recent years, the environment that surrounds golf has changed a lot and has accomplished a remarkable increase of carry by development of tools and the training methods. Therefore, this increase of carry poses a contemporary problem of yardage as it is. In this paper, the problem of man-and-woman difference was intensively examined about yardage of the golf courses in 3 prefectures of the Northern Tohoku District. 1. The data collected in three prefectures showed that the ratio of yardage for woman to that for men was 86.7% 2. In the case of the official competition, the ratio was 89.1% 3. The ratio of women's head speed to that of men by the No.5 iron was 72.6%. As for the carry, the rate was 64.6% Consequently, it is important for a setup of yardage to take into consideration the man-and-woman differences of carry.
