This SpringerBrief explores the motor performance and biomechanics of golf putting, providing methodologies, studies and approaches to this concept. Presenting outcomes of research published over the past six years, it offers guidelines from a scientifically oriented perspective, and employs new technologies and mathematical methods to assess golf putting. The chapters cover aspects such as pendulum-like motion in sports, setting up the experimental design, and performance metrics for putting variables. Paving the way for an improved understanding of what leads to failure and success in golf putting, this book offers an invaluable reference source for sports scientists, engineers and mathematicians, as well as golfers.

Calculate Golf Swing Trajectories from IMU Sensing Data
ICPPW '12: Proceedings of the 2012 41st International Conference on Parallel Processing WorkshopsIn the process of sport learning, learners spend a lot of time on practicing in order to develop correct action habit. Take golf practice as an example. Without the supervising of coaches, novices may keep practicing wrong swing actions, and that will ...
A simulation model to analyze the impact of hole size on putting in golf
WSC '08: Proceedings of the 40th Conference on Winter SimulationWe develop a model of golfer putting skill and combine it with physics-based putt trajectory and holeout models to study the impact of doubling the radius of the hole on the putting performance of professional and amateur golfers. The putting skill ...
Golf swing analysis system with a dual band and motion analysis algorithm
In this paper, we developed a golf position analysis system with an inertial sensor and swing motion analysis algorithm that can be used in golf courses. Specifically, we developed a band for both wrists that analyzes the golf swing of whoever is wearing ...
