Features: This monograph elaborates on the scientific theoretical foundations of golf technology in detail, such as the biomechanical models of golf, the aerodynamic principles of golf balls, and the competitive practice issues of golfers at different levels worldwide. It is the first to introduce a scientific golf swing model as the basis for studying the mechanics of golf, applying mechanical platforms, wind tunnel experiments, and computer research to explore the mechanical mechanisms of golf ball movement. It meticulously records the rigorous exploration and research process of a group of British scientists into certain scientific laws of golf. The book is divided into eight parts, totaling thirty-five chapters. It elaborates on topics such as the models of golf swing techniques, human factors, mechanical mechanisms, research methods and processes, sports competition analysis, and prospects for future golf research. The book extensively covers interdisciplinary theories from physics, human sciences, and education, including different technical segments during the golfer's swing, biomechanical principles, and the causes of erroneous movements, providing a comprehensive theoretical and scientific guidance for golfers.
