Abstract
Golf popularity among older adults is driven by its perceived benefits as a low-intensity activity which promotes health [1]. However, the golf swing poses injury risks, especially for those lacking physical conditioning. Ageing golfers experience performance declines, reflected in increased handicap and reduced clubhead speed (CHS) [2], alongside declines in balance, strength, and flexibility [3]. Movement screens, commonly used to predict performance issues or injury risks [4], have shown positive associations with performance in younger golfers (such as the Golf Movement Screen [5] and the Titleist Performance Institute movement screen [6]). However, similar screening tools are unexplored among senior golfers. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the Senior Golf Movement Assessment (SGMA) and CHS in older amateur male golfers.
