Golf Injury Survey

[DrAWilliams]

*UK Based Golfers*

We are looking for golfers in the UK to complete a 10-minute survey about golf injuries. Both those that have and have not suffered injuries are eligible.

With the evolution of the modern golf swing, we feel this is the appropriate time to survey the type, regularity and severity of injuries suffered by UK based golfers. The survey has full ethical approval from Abertay University and will help inform the future direction of our work in regards to golf performance and injury prevention.

Any further question please email the contact details noted on the information sheet or comment below.

Thanks in advance.

We have had an encouraging response to this so far, so thanks to all members that have completed the survey so far. We are 10% of the way to our target of 1000 responses so please continue to complete and share with friends. We are excited this is going to help inform the future our our research groups work.

I have filled in the survey, just out of interest what future work you may be doing?

Hi Steve,
Thanks for filling the survey in. Regarding future directions, we are potentially looking at some novel training techniques looking to minimise the time spent completing them for performance benefits. This should then allow golfers to continue maximising practice at the range/other facilities. Also some injury prevention work which is very much tied to this survey, this may be done digitally/remotely so we will be in contact if you gave your email at the end.

Thanks to all of those that have responded, we are up to 160 survey returns now so approaching quarter of the way to our goal. Please continue to share with friends/your clubs to keep the momentum with this going.

Anyone else think this post was a bit suspect?

I just completed it in about 1 minute, as I selected the no contact option I guess the survey was fore shortened ?

 

[DrAWilliams]

Hi AAC,
That question comes at the end, although the survey is significantly shortened if you haven't suffered an injury. This is still important information though, as we can gain a consensus of the percentage of golfers suffering an injury. So thank you for your participation.

Thanks to all so far who have filled in the survey, we are under represented in a couple of areas including Welsh, Northern Irish and female golfers. So please continue to share particularly amongst the noted populations.

Is there any reward for doing it?

Is there any reward for doing it?

Yes, you potentially help golfers minimise the risk of injury.

 

[DrAWilliams]

Hi,

Yes, as noted above it will help inform future research, we are looking to utilise the information to inform future injury prevention strategies. We are hoping to address this from both an acute and chronic injury perspective. In regards to a financial incentive unfortunately there is not one on this occasion as leaving contact details is voluntarily.

Thanks to all golfers that have completed the survey. Just posting that the survey is due to close 2-weeks today at the end of the month.
