Re: Where to look for latest knowledge?

Type in some key words and you will find a lot of golf info in this site itself.

Where does the information come from? Golfers share their experience and this turns in to thruth?
Is there any studies - research?

Or is research just messing things around. (Knowing what to do is not the same as being able to do it. - and copying a "force plate form data" might not be the best way to develope your swing.)

On the other hand - knowing how to improve - what should be done - might help? BUT where does the information come from?

(I've started to think that most of the information comes from player himself:-)

It's no different in golf than any other sport or subject come to that. You either seek professional help, use the resources available in books, the net etc or work it out for yourself.

Is there any research institutes that specialize on golf related studies?
Can anyone name some?

Re: Where to look for latest knowledge?

There are a lot of weekend golf schools everywhere...
In fact there seems to be an over-supply of golf information everywhere, books, magazines, internet, pros at the driving range, etc.

The problem may be determining which information applies to your swing.

Re: Where to look for latest knowledge?

I am looking for institutions that do scientific research on golf - research on mental side, swing or equiptment.

Kind of premise is ... that information needs to be tested - and often just first hand experience is not good enough.

So who does research about golf? Does any one know?

Try searching Google on the internet...

Re: Where to look for latest knowledge?

Yes, searching google is one idea. I also have a punch of research articles and writers are from research institutes. It's not very difficult to find names of institutes. Difficulty is to find some one who knows people or knows the institute.

Thanks for your input. I think I can manage from here.
