Abstract:
Golf Canada recently restructured its national junior golf development program, Learn to Play, going from an original curriculum that focused on teaching golf skills to an updated curriculum that integrates the teaching of golf and life skills. The purpose of the study was to examine whether there were differences in program quality through implementation of the original program compared with the updated program. Five coaches using the original program and nine coaches using the updated program took part in the study over an entire summer golf season. The 14 coaches (Mage = 40 years) were each systematically observed on three occasions (i.e., total of 42 observations) and completed an end-of-season program quality questionnaire. The data were subjected to descriptive statistical analyses. Results demonstrated that (a) coaches who implemented the updated program were observed fostering higher levels of program quality than coaches who implemented the original program and (b) researcher observation scores were significantly lower than coach questionnaire scores of program quality. Results are discussed to situate the influence of the updated program on markers of quality. Practical implications for coach education and explicit life skills curricula are discussed.

Abstract:
Golf coaches play a vital role in preparing golfers for tournaments yet no academic peer reviewed research has been conducted on the receptivity to sport psychology support with this population. We investigated the receptivity of professional golf coaches towards sport psychology and sport psychology services. All 24 Provincial golf coaches from within the Golfing Union of Ireland (GUI) participated. Coaches completed an adapted Sport Psychology Services at National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Institutions questionnaire, and a subsample (N=6) took part in an interview. Findings showed a high level of receptivity of provincial golf coaches towards sport psychology. The main type of support preferred was performance orientated, with higher ranked services of interest reported as improving focus (91.7 per cent) and managing emotions during competition (87.5 per cent). Coaches’ indicated specific requirements for education on sport psychology whilst also identifying the potential role of the sport psychologist. In addition, coaches’ responses outlined different circumstances which sport psychologists should expect to encounter and navigate through within the golf coaching population. Based on these findings we propose the first model providing guidance on potential barriers and opportunities for sport psychologists in advance of consulting with golf coaches.

Abstract:
Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine whether Korean junior golf coaches’ leadership styles affect athletes’ competitive state anxiety before a game as well as their performance. In the Multidimensional Model of Leadership (MML), Chelladurai and Saleh (1980) identified five aspects of leadership behavior in coaching: training/instruction, democratic behavior, autocratic behavior, social support, and positive feedback. A survey was conducted with junior golfers participating in the 23rd Korean National Middle and High School Championship. Data from 216 questionnaires were used in the analysis. Multiple regression analyses were run on the data, revealing the following results. First, training/instruction and social support of coaches decreased cognitive anxiety before the game, whereas autocratic behavior increased it. Second, training/instruction and positive feedback of coaches increased self-confidence before the game. Third, training/instruction of coaches increased golf performance, whereas autocratic behavior decreased it. Finally, cognitive anxiety of golf athletes was found to reduce golf performance, whereas self-confidence increased it. Consequently, this study may deliver sport administrators and parents with understanding of how coaches’ leadership styles could influence on junior golfers’ psychological state and golf performance.

Abstract:
The manner in which golfers think on the golf course significantly influences their performance. In 2008, the author provided an overview of golf-specific mental skills with the intention of raising golf coaches' awareness of psychological techniques they could use to help their golfers think more effectively. The aim of this paper is to follow up the author's overview by providing an introduction to mental skills interventions, specifically focusing on how they can be tailored to individual golfer's needs, and how they can be applied, analysed, and evaluated to facilitate the performance of competitive golfers. This five-part paper will: 1) outline the current state of formal mental skills education among golf coaches; 2) introduce selected theories that underpin mental skills interventions; 3) address the role of golf coaches in delivering these interventions; 4) suggest some frameworks which might help to increase the effectiveness of these interventions; and 5) illustrate the practical application of these theories and frameworks by describing a mental skills intervention that was used with a tour-level golfer to improve playing performance.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to develop a measurement tool for the interaction between parents and coaches of middle and high school golfers, and to verify its validity. A total of 563 parents participated in the study. Based on the results of preliminary item production, item analysis, reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, identification factor analysis, job uniformity analysis, and potential mean comparison analysis, the initial 70 items were constructed according to the conceptualization of parent–coach interactions. The first and second item reduction processes and preliminary surveys were conducted through expert meetings to produce the final 40 items of parent–coach interactions. After eliminating 20 items through question analysis, reliability analysis, and exploratory factor analysis, the final three factors of parent–coach interaction were extracted, and the conformity index for the middle and high school golfers’ parent-to-coach interaction tool was checked. Then, to ensure the external validity of the developed parent–coach interaction measurement tool, a construct equivalence analysis was conducted to demonstrate that the tool can be applied equally to parents and coaches. In summary, the tools for measuring the interaction between the middle and high school golfers’ parents and coaches were developed in 20 questions, three factors for communication, qualification, and support, and it was confirmed that the developed measuring tools could all be applied equally through a latent mean analysis. Parents and coaches are key variables that can affect a player’s performance; thus parents and coaches’ interaction measuring tools can be provide positive information not only for golfers but also for players of various other sports.

Abstract:
Given the inextricable roles of the coach learner and coach educator in learner-centered (LC) coach education, research into their perceptions and experiences in these programs appears to be a priority. As such, building on Paquette and Trudel’s examination of Canada’s golf coach education program relative to its alignment with learner-centered approaches, the present study examined coaches’ and coach educators’ perspectives of their experiences participating in the abovementioned program that was found to have a LC design. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 participants (6 coach educators and 10 coaches), and data were analyzed using a thematic analysis. The finalized themes were used as a narrative skeleton for the creation of the four composite vignettes. The vignettes represented the experiences of four composite characters relative to their learning orientations to learner-centered teaching (LCT) and instructor-centred teaching (ICT): LCT Coach Educator, LCT Coach, ICT Coach Educator, ICT Coach. As influenced by their cognitive structures, the vignettes depict the composite coaches’ varied engagement and perceptions of the program, as well as the coach educators’ varied delivery of the program and adherence to the program’s LC design. These diverse experiences are discussed in relation to the impact of LC coach education.
