The purpose of this study is to examine the experience of the golf practice class with lodging and the longitudinal change of life skills through it. The subjects of 11 university students (male=9, female=2, mean age=19.30, SD=1.17) were asked to answer a questionnaire that was composed of socio-demographic questions, the Experience Scale in University Physical Education Classes (ESUPEC), impressions of golf practice class, and Life Skills Scale for University Students (LSSUS). Descriptive statistics and text mining were conducted to reveal the experience of the golf practice class. Paired t-tests and calculation of Cohen's d were conducted to examine longitudinal change of life skills. The results of descriptive statistics showed that mean scores of ESUPEC were high compared with a previous research. The results of text mining showed that the words of “enjoy” and “difficult” appeared frequently. In addition, some word networks such as including positive psychological aspects were shown. Paired t-tests revealed that the scores of “Leadership”, “Scheduling” and “Self-Esteem” of LSSUS increased significantly, their Cohen's d ranged from 0.43 to 0.63. The results above indicate that sports activities with lodging might be more effective to obtain psychosocial skills.
